Anotation... WOOOO!!!! i love them o so much

"Wicked and cruel boy!" I said, "You are like a murderer - you are like a slave driver- you are like the Roman emperors." (13)
- From the beginning it is shown how Jane is treated bad in her aunts house. This phrase to me forshadows something to happen with her cousin whom she is talking about. Either something such as carma towards him or rather an over action taking place between the two of them. This is also key because personification is shown on how the boy is with one phrase used. So, this not only forshadows, but as well describes a character. From this, i also think Jane literally hates her cousin and he does too.
"If i had anywhere else to go, i should be glad to leave it." (26)
This shows how Jane is unhappy living with her aunt. Everyone there treats her unfairly and she is fed up with it. By this phrase, i think there is going to be a time when she does get to leave her aunts house. She's talked about wishing to go somewhere else, but her aunt told her they're either dead or in poverty. Jane said she'd rather live in poverty than live there. That shows alot of hate she has here. That is what leads me up to thinking she'll eventually get out of her aunt's house.
"You naughty little thing!" she said, " why don't you come when you are called?" (41)
Like shown with her cousin, there is also a hate with her aunt. Though it is not clearly said, i think her aunt dislikes her as well. Jane to her aunt is nothing, but problems. Though the aunt never really says she hates Jane i think she does. Since it was never said, i believe Jane still knows that her aunt dislikes her because of all the unfair obsticles she is put through there. I believe her aunt in the future will push Jane away to get out of the house and probably will be happy when Jane is gone.
"Well, all the girls have lost either one or both parents, and this is called an institution for educating orphans." (52)
This is important because Jane finds out what this school is really about. She is set out with girls just like here and that have gone through the same background as her, but maybe just minus liveing with a dreadful aunt. Since before she wasn't really around much i believe it'll be hard for her to socialize with the other girls at this school. So, making friends will be tough for her to accomplish, but i believe she'll do it. By her doing this i think she'll be a changed person in the end and prove something at the end.
"Don't be afraid, Jane, I saw it was an accident; you shall not be punished." (68)
This is important because this just shows how much of an impact her past life has put on her. She believes everytime she has done something wrong, she'll be punished because that's how she grew up. Here she is scared of the same thing, but now there are actually people there to give her reason. This is just the start with her change. From here out, she'll look at things differently and stop living in the past.
"Where is god? What is god?" (84)
The allusion of god being brought into the picture, i believe is very important. By this being said shows how one's childhood could affect their morals towards god. I believe with these words said shows the lack of faith in god from past times. Now she doesn't know about god, but with time she'll find it and more and more changed through out the novel. God will make her stronger as a girl to fight off the bad a get with the good once she finds him.
"No, Miss Jane, not exactly: you are genteel enough; you look like a lady, and it is as much as ever i expected of you: you were no bearty as a child." (94)
Again, this is very important to me because a forshadow can be made by this. This is basically showing how everyone doubts Jane. Even before she left her aunts she was doubted by them and thought to stay there here whole life. Her aunt made her look like a fool going into school and that is what others took her for because of that. This shows how she is different and is still changeing into a young women. This is forshadowing a good future i believe for Jane. She is doing nothing, but progressing over time. Good will come to those who had to suffer.
"I should have been afraid to touch a horse when alone, but when told to do it, i was disposed to obey." (118)
This again goes back to her past. She is still brain washed by her aunt. She'd do what ever her aunt told her to do or she'd be punished. With this phrase, it shows her being afraid of the horse, but she would do anyways because of her past happenings. She seems still a little hung up on the past, but slowely getting over it. Her past seems very important in this piece and that is why i keep refering back to it. Although she is still going by old ways, in the end she'll be a changed women.
"...the large fire was all red and clear; the purple curtains hung rich and ample before the lofty window and loftier arch,..." (133)
This is going toward the novel in whole because i noticed something in it. I've noticed that Bronte uses alot of imagery to show the story as a whole. These words in the phrase selected are all very descripted words and i've noticed that these descritive times is not just every once and a while, but rather all the time through out the story. That is a very interesting way of writing, but it gives the novel more meaning and depth. This phrase is describing a very formal room in society of wealth. I thought this was important due to imagery is used alot.
"What have you done with me, witch, sorceress? Who is in the room besides you? Have you plotted to drown me?" (152)
Jane, to some is still seen as a menace. Her aunt before school did put in a bad word about Jane and to some it still carries on. Most others see Jane as not this once actually intervened with, but this shows still some have a problem with her. He thought Jane was trying to drown him when she was actually helping him due to a fire. People just see her the wrong way. Although her past is still being carried over with her as being bad, soon everyone will know she is not. Good things always happen to the good. I believe Jane is good. Although conflicts like this happen, later everything will be seen by others.
"Yes- he said that from mere politeness: I need not go, i am sure." (171)
In this time of the book, i'm getting a little confused, but i can clearly see that theres something going on with Jane and Mr. Rochester. She's wants to go, but then doesn't want to in this. From this phrase, i believe there will be future problems with them two. Right now they seem alright, but it just seems that something bad is going to happen. Might find out a secret or something.
"Did you take any cold that night you half drowned me?" (182)
This phrase is showing how people still look at the negative in Jane even though it was in the past. It is far from events and people are still nagging her. I think this is forshadowing that her past will always be with her. For the good or bad, her past will always be there for her or others to bring up. So, through out her book, her past will never leave her and others will remember it too.
