Jane Eyre - Character
This GCSE English Literature quiz will challenge you on character in Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. Jane Eyre is peopled with a great number of characters. Jane moves from place to place until she feels that she has found her true home, and each of these moves involves her getting to know new people. The reader meets her cruel, vindictive relatives, some of the children consigned to the unmerciful Mr Brocklehurst, the teachers of Lowood, the inhabitants of Thornfield Hall and its many visitors, and the Rivers siblings. Those characters who have a particularly strong impact on Jane’s development include Mrs Reed, Miss Temple, Mr Brocklehurst, Helen Burns, Mr Rochester and St John Rivers. Other characters might be pleasant companions for Jane, such as the Rivers sisters, or fulfil a function, such as Adèle, who provides both a reason for Jane to live at Thornfield and an insight into Mr Rochester’s character.

The value of patience
The benefits of nursing anger
The importance of fighting injustices
All of the above
Jane learns patience from Helen although she does not always agree with her friend's views, especially with the idea of accepting injustice without complaint
5 .
Who makes Jane feel at home in Thornfield, despite the grandness of the building and the cool, gruff behaviour of its owner?
Adèle

"Reason, and not Feeling, is my guide: my ambition is unlimited; my desire to rise higher, to do more than others, insatiable. I honour endurance, perseverance, industry, talent; because these are the means by which men achieve great ends"
"I have only brought you a little parcel my sisters left for you"
"I burnt for the more active life of the world — for the more exciting toils of a literary career — for the destiny of an artist, author, orator; anything, rather than that of a priest"
"It is strange that I love Rosamond Oliver so wildly — with all the intensity, indeed, of a first passion"
St John describes himself to Jane as a "cold, hard man". He rejects his passions in favour of obeying reason
