so, residing with Jane at the estate are her three very indulged cousins, who pick on Jane even, resulting in physical violence: "She lay reclined on a sofa by the fireside, and with her darlings about her (for the time neither quarrelling nor crying) looked perfectly happy. Me, she had dispensed from the group" (Bronte, 1). This quote shows how unfair and unhappy daily life was for Jane. Even the setting outside the house reflected the mood: "The cold winter wind had brought with it clouds so somber, and a rain so penetrating ..." (Bronte, 1). The cold represents the frozen heartedness of the Reeds' and the wind represents the torrent of emotions within the household (Weekes, 8).

This quote shows how Jane's heart is starting to flower. In a situation where once she ring this time another change began to develop within Jane's soul. She began to develop an inner-conscience and a faith connected to God. This house is also the place where a very important factor comes into play. Jane learns to paint.
