The story starts while Jane is living with the Reed family in their home at Gateshead Hall. Here, is where education and containment begins, as Jane is kept confined indoors on a cold winter day. The other children (Eliza, John, and Giorgiana) are "clustered round their mamma in the drawing-room" (39) being educated, as Jane had been excluded from the group. Jane tries to educate herself by reading from Berwick's History of British

This brings Jane to her next encounter, at Moor House and the school at Morton. This is where Jane becomes fulfilled in spirituality where as at the Thornfield she lacked. She feels that she has made the right decision by leaving Thornfield as she thinks it through, "Whether is it better, I ask, to be a slave in a fool's paradise at Marseilles...suffocating with the bitterest tears of remorse and shame...or to be a village schoolmistress, free and honest" (386).
