She then tells a doctor how she would like to go to school and then before leaving tells her aunt how she feels. "I will never visit you." In these modern times a young person or even a child expressing his or her feelings to an adult is commonplace and in fact it is normal for a child or adolescent to be insolent and generally rude. However in that period of history respecting 0131 446 elders was fundamental to the moral attitudes of that society. Jane was thought to be wicked and insolent. The submissiveness expected by children is shown by the shock expressed at her behaviour "Did you ever see such passion". Mrs Reed was even fearful when Jane told her that "you treated me with miserable cruelty". The aunts shock is shown by her actions: "she lifted up her hands, rocking herself to and fro and twisting her face as though she would cry" and the aunt"s uncharacteristically kind "Is there anything else you want child? I assure you I wish to be your friend." These comments are in stark contrast to her usual reprimands. These words were spoken only because she was frightened of what damage Jane may cause her reputation and shows also, how unexpected Jane's retaliation was. It is indeed surprising as she was continually treated as a second class citizen. Jane did not let life beat her and carried on standing up for herself. After Jane left the Reeds and went to Lowood she was accused of being a liar by Mr Brocklehurst but finding the courage to withstand the shame she wins another moral battle. Charlotte Brontë does use a lot of imagery later in the novel. However, at this part, she is writing from the view of a child. Jane is writing in retrospect but she is reporting the feelings she had as they were and they were obviously very childlike. She obviously feels lost and often questions her behaviour and her thoughts; however, this part of the novel is largely expository.
