Jane Eyre 2

Eyre, colour imagery is used to convey that there are two sides in every character and that the

temptation and enclosure of evil is always beckoning and binding. Red imagery, black imagery

and white imagery are used in Jane Eyre to emphasize the two different forces battling against

Red throughout the novel represents hell and evil and demonstrates the wicked side of

every human being. Frequently, red imagery alludes to the temptation of evil. During the

course of the novel Jane had many dreams which are parallel to her life, “before me a terrible

red glare”(pg12, Jane Eyre). The red is a symbol of hell and the devil and implies the beckoning

of evil towards Jane. The red glare alludes to the desire to be bad and the decision between right

an wrong. Secondly, the colour red demonstrates the fear of evil and the resistance of bad.

While Jane stays at Gateshed, her Aunt Reed continually scolds and punishes her, “Take her

away to the red room,”... Jane, “resisted all the way”(pg 5, Jane Eyre). The colour red, once

again is associated with evil and hell. Jane resists the bad place therefore escapes evil
