The whole novel is written in the form of self-narration. The novel arranges the structure according to the experience of "I" to show the different stages of the character growth of the protagonist. The author tells the story in the first person, introduces the characters, and evaluates the events. This method is convenient for directly expressing the inner activities of the characters, shortens the distance with the readers, and is easy to achieve a cordial and touching artistic effect.

The use of reverse ordering draws the audience's interest and makes one eager to know why Jane Eyre wants to leave this place so much.

    Such a familiar story was still moved to tears. . . Really well played. . .

    Uncle Fa is so handsome that he has no friends. It doesn't feel like Rochester will be so nakedly affectionate. The heroine is too facially paralyzed + beautiful, which does not conform to the original style. In addition, inserting narrative is not what you want to insert, you can insert it if you want

Jane Eyre quotes

  • Rochester: From whence do you hail? What's your tale of woe?

    Jane Eyre: Pardon?

    Rochester: All governesses have a tale of woe. What's yours?

    Jane Eyre: I was brought up by my aunt, Mrs. Reed of Gateshead, in a house even finer than this. I then attended Lowood school where I received an education as good as I could hope for. I have no tale of woe, sir.

    Rochester: Where are your parents?

    Jane Eyre: Dead.

    Rochester: Do you remember them?

    Jane Eyre: No.

    Rochester: And why are you not with Mrs. Reed of Gateshead now?

    Jane Eyre: She cast me off, sir.

    Rochester: Why?

    Jane Eyre: Because I was burdensome and she disliked me.

    Rochester: [Incredulous] No tale of woe?

  • Mr. Brocklehurst: [Helen is about to be beaten by Ms. Scatcherd] I see you are mortifying this girl's flesh.

    Miss Scatcherd: Sir, she was not...

    Mr. Brocklehurst: It is your mission to render her contrite and self-denying. Continue.

    [Ms. Scatcherd begins beating Helen with a rod. Jane drops her chalkboard as a distraction]

    Mr. Brocklehurst: And you, girl.

    [He has Jane stand on her stool]

    Mr. Brocklehurst: This is the pedestal of infamy, and you will remain on it all day long. You will have neither food nor drink for you must learn how barren is the life of a sinner. Children, I exhort you to shun her, exclude her, shut her out from this day forth. Withhold the hand of friendship and deny your love to Jane Eyre, the liar.
