Chapter 4: Mr.Brocklehurst

Jane is still living with Mrs. Reed after her time in the red-room. She is getting better and hopes to leave soon, maybe to go to school, but nothing changes for a while.

Mrs. Reed treats her more badly than before: Jane must sleep and eat alone. Her cousins ignore her. John is still mean, and one day Jane hits him back. Mrs. Reed is very angry and punishes her again. Jane tells Mrs. Reed that her dead uncle and parents can see how she is treated. This scares Mrs. Reed, but she soon beats Jane and leaves.

The months pass. Jane is not allowed to join Christmas fun. She watches her cousins get ready for parties and listens to music from far away. She feels lonely, but not very sad. Furthermore, she still finds comfort in her doll and sometimes Bessie is kind to her, which Jane likes.

One January morning, Jane sees a carriage arrive. Bessie tells her to clean up and sends her downstairs. Jane is afraid because she hasn't been called to the nicer parts of the house in a long time. After waiting, she goes into the room and sees a tall man dressed in black. Mrs. Reed tells Jane this man is here because of her. He looks at Jane carefully and asks her name and age. The man was a headmaster of Lowood School, the strict charity school for girls. Mrs. Reed has called him to organize for Jane to be sent away there (she is a terrible woman). He (Mr. Brocklehurst) was a hypocritical man, because he talks a lot about being simple and poor, but he lives comfortably. 

PERSONAL OPINION

I liked this chapter, because Jane stars to speak for herself. When Mrs. Reed mean her again, Jane finally tells her how unfair and cruel she has been. I am so happy of Jane, because she was very brave. And she is only a child, but she tells the truth clearly. But the other side, I hate Mr. Rochester because he is a hypocritical man because he talks a lot about being simple and poor, but he lives comfortably.
