Jane Air Biography
Her life was not sugar. The fact is that Mrs. Reed was not her native aunt, but just a widow of her mother’s brother. She held on the very low opinion about the parents of the girl, and how else, because Jane's mother, descended from a good family, went out for a priest who did not even penetrate the soul. On the father’s side, Jane was told, she had no relatives left, and if they remained, then these were not gentlemen - people were poor and poorly educated, so it was not worth talking about them.
Home advertising - Mrs. Reed herself, her children John, Eliza and Georgian, and even a servant - everyone often made it clear to the orphan that she was not like everyone else who keep her here only out of great mercy. Unanimously everyone considered Jane an evil, false, spoiled by a girl, which was not true. On the contrary, the young Reeds were angry and false, who especially John loved Jane, to start quarrels with her, and then exhibit her in everything guilty.
Once after one of these quarrels, which ended with a brawl with John, Jane was punished in a red room, the most mysterious and terrible in Gateshed Hall, Mr. Reed hesitated his last breath. Out of fear of seeing his ghost, the poor girl lost consciousness, and after that a fever came with her, from which she could not recover for a long time. Not experiencing a desire to mess with a painful and such bad girl, Mrs.
Reed decided that it was time to determine Jane in school. The school, which for many years has become a home for Jane, was called trap and was an unpleasant place, and upon closer examination it turned out to be an orphan. But Jane did not have a warm home in the past, and therefore she did not worry too much, finding herself in this gloomy and cold place.
The girls here went in the same dresses and with the same hairstyles, everything was done on a call, the food was nipple and meager, the teachers are rude and soulless, pupils clogged, dull and embittered. Advertising among teachers was the exception was the director of Miss Templ: in her soul it was warm enough to dress them with disadvantaged girls. Between the pupils there was also one dissimilar on others, and Jane became tight with her.
The name of this girl Helen Burns. For the months of friendship with Helen Jane, I learned and understood a lot, and the main thing is that God is not a formidable overseer behind bad children, but a loving Father of Heaven. Jane Air spent eight years old: six as a pupil, two - a teacher. One fine day, eighteen -year -old Jane suddenly realized his whole being that he could no longer remain in a trap.
She saw the only way to break out of school - to find the governess place, Jane announced the newspaper and some time later received an attractive invitation to the Tornfield estate. In Tornfield, she was met by an elderly lady - housekeeper Mrs. Fairfax, explaining to Jane that her student would become Miss Adele, the ward of the owner of the estate of Mr. Rochester as Jane, the daughter of Rochester’s mistress, the French singer, who first abandoned her lover, and then Adele.
Mr. Rochester himself visited Thornefield only with rare sudden raids, spending most of his time somewhere on the continent. Advertising atmosphere Thornfield and in comparison did not go with the one in which Jane spent the previous eight years. Everything here promised her a pleasant, free life, despite the fact that some secret was obviously hiding in the house: sometimes strange things were happening at night, the girl’s inhuman laughter was heard for times a feeling of longing and loneliness.
Finally, as always unexpectedly, Mr. Rochester appeared in Tornfield. Strongly knocked down, broad -shouldered, dark -skinned, with severe, incorrect features of his face, he was by no means a handsome man who, at heart, pleased Jane, confident that not a single handsome man would never have awarded her, a gray mouse, and a bit of attention. Between Jane and Rochester almost immediately a deep mutual sympathy, which both of them carefully hid.
Jane had to experience the torment of jealousy, although she herself did not admit to herself when Rochester of all the secular ladies who visited Thornfield began to give a emphasized preference to a certain Miss Blanche, a beauty, unnatural, according to Jane, to the brain of bones. Even the rumors about an imminent wedding. Jane's advertising was focused on sad thoughts on where to go when Rochester would bring her young wife into the house, and Adele will be sent to school.
But here, unexpectedly, Edward Rochester opened his feelings and made a proposal not Blanche, but to her, Jane. Jane joyfully responded with consent, thanking God, for Edward loved her whole soul. They decided to play the wedding in a month. For pleasant chores, this month flew by one day. And then Jane Air and Edward Rochester are facing the altar. The priest was already going to declare them as a husband and wife, when a person acted in the middle of the church and stated that the marriage could not be concluded, since Rochester already has a wife.Killed on the spot, he did not argue.
Everyone in confusion left the church. In justification for himself, Edward revealed to the failed Mrs. Rochester so carefully protected the secret of his life. In his youth, he found himself in a very difficult financial situation because his father, in order to avoid the fragmentation of possessions, bequeathed everything to his older brother. Not wanting, however, to leave the youngest son to the poor, he knew Edward, then still an unsociable inexperienced youth, a rich bride from the West Indies.
At the same time, they hid from Edward that in the family of Berta were insane and drunken drunkards. After the wedding, bad heredity was not slow to affect it; Very soon, she completely lost her human appearance, turning into a soulless evil animal. He had no choice but to hide Berte under a reliable supervision in his family nest - both the father and brother of Edward died by this time - and herself to live the life of a young wealthy bachelor.
This laughter of his wife was heard at night in Tornfield, it was she, bursting out of the shutter, somehow almost burned the sleeping inhabitants of the house, and on the night before the wedding, Jane and Edward, a terrible ghost appeared in the bride’s bedroom and broke the veil. Let Jane not be his wife, but Rochester begged her to stay with him, because they loved each other Jane was adamant: as soon as possible, she should have left Thornfield in order not to give in to a temptation.
Early in the morning, almost completely without money and luggage, she sat in a stagecoach, next in the north direction, and went, not knowing where. Two days later, the coachman dropped Jane at some intersection among the endless wastelands, because she had no money to go further. The poor thing miraculously did not die of hunger and cold, wandering around unfamiliar wild places.
She held on with all her strength, when they left her, unconsciously fell at the door of the house, into which she was not allowed by a cautious maid. Jane was picked up by a local priest St. John Rivers, who lived in this house with his two sisters, Diana and Mary.
They were kind, beautiful, educated people. Jane immediately liked them, and she - they, but out of caution, the girl called not the real, but a fictional surname and did not talk about her past. Advertising by the appearance of St. John was the exact opposite of Rocheter: it was a high blond with the figure and face of Apollo; Extraordinary inspiration and determination shone in his eyes.
Rosamund was in love with St. John, the beautiful daughter of the richest in the man’s district. He also had a strong feeling to her, which, however, drove in every way from himself, considering the low and unworthy of his high purpose - to bear the light of the Gospel of the pagan vegetable in the darkness. Saint-John was going to go to India by a missionary, but before he needed to get a companion and assistant in a life feat.
Jane, in his opinion, was the best suited for this role, and St. John asked her to become his wife. About love, what Jane knew and understood her, there was no speech here, and therefore she resolutely refused the young priest, expressing at the same time the willingness to follow him as a sister and assistant. This option was unacceptable for a clergyman.
Jane with great pleasure gave all her strength to teaching in a rural school open with the help of St. John with the money of local wealthy people. One fine day, the priest went to her after the lessons and began to expound the story of the great bewilderment of Jane, but the story that followed the story arranged everything in his unexpected places. Having accidentally recognized the true surname Jane, Saint-John suspected something: it would, because she coincided with the name of his deceased parent.
He entered the certificates and was convinced that Jane's father was their brother with Mary and Diana, who had a second brother, John Air, that he got rich in Madeira and several years ago unsuccessfully tried to find his niece, Jane Air. Having died, it was to her that he bequeathed his whole fortune - as many as twenty thousand pounds. So, overnight, Jane became rich and acquired two cute kuzin and cousin.
By her generosity, she violated the will of the late uncle and insisted that the fabulous inheritance be divided equally between his nephews. No matter how well she lived with new relatives, no matter how she loved her school, one person owned her thoughts, and therefore Jane could not but visit Tornfield before entering a new time of life. How amazed she was when, instead of a majestic house, burned ruins appeared to her eyes.
Jane turned to the village innkeeper with questions, and he said that the culprit of the fire was the crazy wife of Rochester, who died in flame. Rochester tried to save her, but he himself crushed the collapsed roof; As a result, he lost his right hand and completely blind. Now the owner of Tornfield lived in another estate nearby. There, without wasting time, and hurried Jane.
Edward physically did not pass at all in the year that has passed since the day of the disappearance of Jane, but on his face was a deep imprint of suffered suffering. Jane joyfully became the eyes and hands of the most dear to her man, with whom he was now inseparable. A little time passed, and tender friends decided to become a husband and wife. Two years after marriage to Edward Rocheter, vision began to return; This only added happiness by an already happy pair.
Diana and Mary also happily married, and only St. June was destined to perform the feat of the spiritual education of the Gentiles in severe loneliness. D.
