Jane Eyre

"I'm not talking to you now by customs, conventions, or even mortal flesh, but my mind is talking to your mind, as if we were all dead, and we both stood on equal terms-- Before God, because we are all equal!" This is a sentence in "Jane Eyre" that I remember vividly. In front of Rochester, Jane Eyre never felt inferior because she was a governess. She thinks they are equal and shouldn't be disrespected just because she is a governess. So, in the end she and Rochester achieved spiritual equality. Jane Eyre has a unique perseverance, and it is with this perseverance that her efforts have achieved results. Poverty is not a sign of failure, nor is wealth a natural sign of success. (I saw from the book, if there is any infringement, I will delete it privately?)
