| 1106979923 | Jane Eyre | "there was a pleasurable illumination in your eye occasionally, a soft excitement in your aspect, which told of no bitter, bilious, hypochondriac brooding: your look revealed rather the sweet musings of youth when its spirit follows on willing wings the flight of Hope up and on to an ideal heaven" | 6 | |

| 1106979930 | Mrs. Reed | described? "she was a woman of robust frame, square-shouldered and strong limbed, not tall, and though stout, not obese: she had a somewhat large face, the under jaw being much developed and very solid; her brow was slow, her chin large and prominent, mouth and nose sufficiently regular; under her light eyebrows glimmered an eye devoid of ruth; her skin was dark and opaque, her hair nearly flaxes; her constitution was sound as a bell... an exact, clever manager" | 13 | |
| 1106979931 | Mrs. Reed | described? "The well-known face was there: stern, relentless as ever—there was the peculiar eye which nothing could melt, and the somewhat raised, imperious, despotic eyebrow" | 14 | |

| 1106979934 | Georgiana Reed | "the slim and fairy-like girl of eleven. This was a full-blown, very plump damsel, fair as waxwork, with handsome and regular features, languishing blue eyes, and ringleted yellow hair. The hue of her dress was black too; but its fashion was so different from her sister's—so much more flowing and becoming - it looked as stylish as the other's looked puritanical" described? | 17 | |
| 1106979935 | Eliza Reed | described? "one very tall, almost as tall as Miss Ingram—very thin too, with a sallow face and severe mien. There was something ascetic in her look, which was augmented by the extreme plainness of a straight-skirted, black, stuff dress, a starched linen collar, hair comber away from the temples, and the nun-like ornament of a string of ebony beads and a crucifix" | 18 | |
| 1106979936 | Eliza Reed | described? "the thin and pallid elder daughter" | 19 | |
| 1106979937 | John Reed | described? "a schoolboy of fourteen years old... large and stout for his age, with a dingy and unwholesome skin; thick lineament in a spacious visage, heavy limbs and large extremities... bilious, and gave him a dim and bleared eye and flabby cheeks." | 20 | |
| 1106979938 | John Reed | described? "____is sunk and degraded—his look is frightful" | 21 | |
| 1106979939 | Bessie | described? "...must, I think, have been a girl of good natural capacity, for she was smart in all she did, and had a remarkable knack of narrative... She was pretty... I remember her as a slim young woman, with black hair, dark eyes, very nice features, and good, clear complexion; but she had a capricious and hasty temper and indifferent ideas of principle or justice..." | 22 | |

| 1106979941 | Mr. Broklehurst | described? "The straight, narrow, sable clad shape standing erect on the rug: the grim face at the top was like a carved mask, placed above the shaft by way of capital" | 24 | |

| 1106979943 | Mr. Broklehurst | described? "is not a god: nor is he even a great and admired man: he is little liked here" | 26 | |
| 1106979944 | Mr. Brocklehurst | Described? "he starved us when he had the sole superintendence of the provision department, before the committee was appointed; and he bored us with long lectures once a week and with evening readings from books of his own inditing about sudden deaths and judgments, which made us afraid to go to bed" | 27 | |
| 1106979945 | Miss Temple | described? "The first was a tall lady with dark hair, dark eyes, and a pale and large forehead; her figure was party enveloped in a shawl, her countenance was grave, her bearing erect." | 28 | |
| 1106979946 | Miss Temple | Described? "she looked tall, fair, and shapely; brown eyes with a benignant light in their irids, and a fine penciling of long lashes round, relieved the whiteness of her large front; on each of her temples her hair, of a very dark brown, was clustered in round curls..." | 29 | |
| 1106979947 | Miss Temple | described? "her friendship and society had been my continual solace; she had stood me in the stead of mother, governess, and latterly, companion" | 30 | |
| 1106979948 | Helen Burns | speaker? "I am... slatternly; I seldom put, and never keep, things, in order; I am careless; I forget rules; I read when I should learn my lessons; I have no method; and sometimes I say... I cannot BEAR to be subjected to systematic arrangements" | 31 | |
| 1106979949 | Mrs. Alice Fairfax | described? "a place-tempered, kind-natured woman, of competent education and average intelligence" | 32 | |
| 1106979950 | Rochester | described? "has gentleman's tastes and habits, and he expects to have things managed in conformity to them" | 33 | |
| 1106979951 | Rochester | described? "his character is unimpeachable, I suppose. He is rather peculiar, perhaps: he has travelled a great deal, and seen a great deal of the world, I should think. I dare say he is clever" | 34 | |
| 1106979952 | Rochester | described? "broad and jetty eyebrows; his square forehead, made squarer by the horizontal sweep of his black hair. I recognized his decisive nose, more remarkable for character than beauty; his full nostrils, denoting, I thought, choler; his grim mouth, chin and jaw... I perceived harmonized in squareness with his physiognomy: I suppose it was a good figure in the athletic sense of the term—broad chested and thin flanked, though neither tall nor graceful" | 35 | |
| 1106979953 | Rochester | described? "He was proud, sardonic, and harsh to inferiority of every description... He was moody, too... But I believed that his moodiness, his harshness, and his former faults of morality... had their source in some cruel cross of fate. I believed he was naturally a man of better tendencies, higher principles and purer tastes than such as circumstances had developed, education instilled, or destiny encouraged. I thought there were excellent materials in him; though for the present they hung together somewhat spoiled and tangled" | 36 | |
| 1106979954 | miss ingram | described? "tall, fine bust, sloping shoulders; long, graceful neck: olive complexion, dark and clear; noble features; eyes rather like Mr. Rochester's: large and black, and a brilliant as her jewels. And then she had such a fine head of hair; raven black and so becomingly arranged: a crown of thick plaits behind and in front the longest, the glossiest curls I ever saw. She was dressed in pure white; an amber-colored scarf was passed over her shoulder and across her breast tied at the side, and descending in long, fringed ends below her knee. She wore an amber-colored flower, too, in her hair: it contrasted well with the jetty mass of her curls" | 37 | |
| 1106979955 | Miss Ingram | described? "Her purple riding-habit almost swept the ground, her veil streamed long on the breeze; mingling with its transparent folds, and gleaming through them, shone rich raven ringlets" | 38 | |
| 1106979956 | Miss Ingram | described? "Her face was like her mother's; a youthful unfurrowed likeness: the same low brow, the same high features, the same pride. It was not, however, so saturnine a pride! She laughed continually; her laugh was satirical, and so was the habitual expression of her arched and haughty lip" | 39 | |
| 1106979957 | Miss Ingram | described? "might be clever, but it was decidedly not good-natured. She played: her execution was brilliant; she sang: her voice was fine; she talked French apart to her mamma; and she talked it well with fluency and with a good accent" | 40 | |
| 1106979958 | Miss Ingram | described? "I remember her appearance at the moment—it was very graceful and very striking: she wore a morning robe of sky-blue crape; a gauzy azure scarf was twisted in her hair" | 41 | |
| 1106979959 | Grace Poole | Described? "a woman of between thirty and forty; a set, square-made figure, red-haired, and with a hard, plain face: any apparition less romantic or less ghostly could scarcely be conceived" | 42 | |
| 1106979960 | Grace Poole | described? "her appearance always acted as a damper to the curiosity raised by her oral oddities: hard-featured and staid, she had no point to which interest could attach. I made some attempts to draw her into conversation, but she seemed a person of few words: a monosyllabic reply usually cut short every effort of that sort" | 43 | |
| 1106979961 | Adele | described? "she was quite a child, perhaps seven or eight years old, slightly built, with a pale, small-featured face, and a redundancy of hair falling in curls to her waist" | 44 | |
| 1106979962 | Adele | described? "became obedient and teachable. She had no great talents, no marked traits of character, no peculiar development of feeling or taste which raised her one inch above the ordinary level of childhood; but neither had she any deficiency or vice which sunk her below it. She made reasonable progress, entertained for me a vivacious, though perhaps not very profound, affection; and by her simplicity, gay prattle, and efforts to please, inspired me, in return with a degree of attachment sufficient to make us both content in each other's society" | 45 | |
| 1106979963 | Mr. Mason | described? "his manner was polite; his accent, in speaking, struck me as being somewhat unusual, -- not precisely foreign, but still not altogether English: his age might be about Mr. Rochester's,-- between thirty and forty; his complexion was singularly sallow: otherwise he was a fine-looking man, at first sight especially. On closer examination, you detected something in his face that displeased, or rather that failed to please. His features were regular, but too relaxed: his eye was large and well cut, but the life looking out of it was a tame, vacant life—at least so I thought" | 46 | |
| 1106979964 | Mr. Mason | described? "for a handsome and not unamiable-looking man, he repelled me exceedingly: there was no power in that smooth-skinned face of a full oval shape: no firmness in that aquiline nose and small cherry mouth; there was no thought on the low, even forehead; no command in that black, brown eye" | 47 | |
| 1106979965 | Bertha Mason Rochester | described? "fearful and ghastly... it was a discolored face—it was a savage face. I wish I could forget the roll of the red eyes and the fearful blackened inflation of the lineaments" | 48 | |
| 1106979966 | Bertha Mason Rochester | described? "this sir, was purple: the lips were swelled and dark; the brow furrowed: the black eyebrows widely raised over the bloodshot eyes" | 49 | |
| 1106979967 | Bertha Mason Rochester | described? "is mad; and she came of a mad family; idiots and maniacs through three generations. Her mother, the Creole, was both a madwoman and a drunkard!—as I found out after I had wed the daughter: for they were silent on family secret before. Bertha, like a dutiful child, copied her parent in both points. I had a charming partner—pure, wise, modest: you can fancy I was a happy man. I went through rich scenes! Oh! My experience has been heavenly" | 50 | |
| 1106979968 | Bertha Mason Rochester | described? "In a deep shade, at the farther end of the room, a figure ran backwards and forwards. What it was, whether beast or human being, one could not, at first sight, tell: it groveled, seemingly, on all fours; it snatched and growled like some strange wild animal: but it was covered with clothing, and a quantity of dark, grizzled hair, wild as a mane, hid its head and face" | 51 | |
| 1106979969 | Bertha Mason Rochester | described? "she was a big woman, in stature almost equaling her husband, and corpulent besides" | 52 | |
| 1106979970 | Hanna | described? "an elderly woman, somewhat rough-looking, but scrupulously clean" | 53 | |
| 1106979971 | Hanna | speaker? "I've lived here thirty year. I nursed them all three" | 54 | |
| 1106979972 | the rivers sisters | which 2 people are being described? (last name) "two young, graceful women, ladies in every point" | 55 | |
| 1106979973 | Diana Rivers | described? "She had, I thought, a remarkable countenance, instinct both with power and goodness" | 56 | |
| 1106979974 | Diana Rivers | described? Physically, she far excelled me: she was handsome; she was vigorous. In her animal spirits there was an affluence of life and certainty of flow, such as excited my wonder, while it baffled my comprehension" | 57 | |
| 1106979975 | Mary Rivers | described? "_____'s countenance was equally intelligent—her features equally pretty; but her expression was more reserved, and her manners, though gentle, more distant" | 58 | |
| 1106979976 | St. John Rivers | described? "Had he been a statue instead of a man, he could not have been easier. He was young—perhaps from twenty-eight to thirty—tall, slender; his face riveted the eye; it was like a Greek face, very pure in outline: quite a straight, classic nose; quite an Athenian mouth and chin. It is seldom, indeed, an English face comes as near the antique models as did his. He might well be a little shocked at the irregularity of my lineaments, his own being so harmonious. His eyes were large and blue, with brown lashes; his high forehead colorless as ivory, was partially streaked over by careless locks of fair hair" | 59 | |
| 1106979977 | St. John Rivers | described? "he seemed of a reserved, an abstracted, and even of a brooding nature. Zealous in his ministerial labours, blameless in his life and habits, he yet did not appear to enjoy that mental serenity, that inward content, which should bet he reward of every sincere Christian and practical philanthropist." | 60 | |
| 1106979978 | St. John Rivers | speaker? "I am not a pagan, but a Christian philosopher—a follower of the sect of Jesus. As His disciple I adopt His pure, His merciful, His benignant doctrines. I advocate them: I a sworn to spread them. Won in youth to religion, she has cultivated by original qualities thus:- From the minute germ, natural affection, she has developed the overshadowing tree, philanthropy. From the wild stringy root of human uprightness, she has reared a due sense of the Divine justice. Of the ambition to win power and renown for my wretched self, she has formed the ambition to spread my Master's kingdom; to achieve victories for the standard of the cross" | 61 | |
| 1106979979 | St. John Rivers | described? "very cool and collected... handsome-featured face of his look... pale brow and cheek as pale, where it grieved me to discover the hollow trace of care or sorrow now so plainly graved" | 62 | |
| 1106979980 | Rosamond oliver | described? "there appeared, within three feet of him, a form clad in pure white—a youthful graceful form: full, yet fine in contour; and when, after bending to caress Carlo, it lifted up its head, and threw back a long veil, there bloomed under his glance a face of perfect retrace or qualify it: as sweet feature as ever the temperate clime of Albion moulded; as pure hues of rose and lily as ever her humid fales and vapoury skies generated and screened, justified, in this instance, the term. No charm was wanting, not defect was perceptible; the young girl had regular and delicate lineaments; eyes shaped and coloured as we see them in lovely pictures, large, and dark, and full; the long and shadowy eyelash which encircles a fine eye with so soft a fascination; the penciled brow which gives such clearness; the white smooth forehead, which adds such repose to the liveliest beauties of tint and ray; the cheek oval, fresh, and smooth; the lops, fresh too, ruddy, healthy, sweetly formed; the even and gleaming teeth without flaw; the small dimpled chin; the ornament of rich, plenteous tresses—all advantages, in short, which, combined, realize the ideal of beauty, were fully hers" | 63 | |
| 1106979981 | Rosamond Oliver | described? "a direct and naïve simplicity of tone and manner, pleasing, if child-like" | 64 | |
| 1106979982 | Mr. Oliver | described? "the sole rich man in my parish... the proprietor of a needle-factory and iron-foundry in the valley" | 65 | |
| 1106979983 | Jane Eyre | speaker? "Reader, I married him. A quiet wedding we had: he and I, the parson and clerk, were alone present" | 66 | |
| 1106979984 | Rocherster | speaker? "You never felt jealousy, did you, Miss Eyre? Of course not: I need not ask you; because you never felt love. You have both sentiments yet to experience: your soul sleeps; the shock is yet to be given which shall waken it." | 67 | |
| 1106979985 | Mr. Mason | speaker? "She bit me. She worried me like a tigress, when Rochester got the knife from her...She sucked the blood: she said she'd drain my heart." | 68 | |
| 1106979986 | Jane Eyre | speaker? "If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust, the wicked people would have it all their own way: they would never feel afraid, and so they would never alter, but would grow worse and worse. When we are struck at without a reason, we should strike back again very hard; I am sure we should - so hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again." | 69 | |
| 1106979987 | Rochester | speaker? "But, Jane, I summon you as my wife: it is you only I intend to marry." | 70 | |
| 1106979988 | Rochester | speaker? "My bride is here," he said, again drawing me to him, "because my equal is here, and my likeness. Jane, will you marry me?" | 71 | |
| 1106979989 | Helen Burns | speaker? "If all the world hated you, and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved you, and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends." | 72 | |
| 1106979990 | Jane Eyre | speaker? "I resisted all the way: a new thing for me." | 73 | |
| 1106979991 | she thought she would be haunted/hurt by her uncle's ghost. | Why did Jane faint in the red room? | 74 | |
| 1106979992 | Helen Burns | speaker? "Yes; to my long home - my last home." | 75 | |
| 1106979993 | Rochester | speaker? "I will myself put the diamond chain round your neck, and the circlet on your forehead - which it will become; for nature, at least, has stamped her patent of nobility on this brow, Jane, and I will clasp the bracelets on these fine wrists, and load these fairy-like fingers with rings." | 76 | |
| 1106979994 | Jane Eyre | speaker? "No, no sir! think of other subjects, and speak of other things, and in another strain. Don't address me as if I were a beauty; I am your plain, Quakerish governess." | 77 | |
| 1106979995 | Rochester | speaker? "You are a beauty in my eyes, and a beauty just after the desire of my heart -- delicate and aërial." | 78 | |
| 1106979996 | Jane Eyre | speaker? "Punny and insignificant, you mean. You are dreaming, sir -- or you are sneering. For God's sake, don't be ironical!" | 79 | |
| 1106979997 | Rochester & Jane | who are having the conversation below? "I will make the world acknowledge you a beauty, too," he went on, while I really became uneasy at the strain he had adopted, because I felt he was either deluding himself or trying to delude me. "I will attire my Jane in satin and lace, and she shall have roses in her hair; and I will cover the head I love best with a priceless veil." | 80 | |
| 1106979998 | Jane Eyre | speaker? "And then you won't know me,sir: and I shall not be your ______ any longer, but an ape in a harlequin's jacket -- a jay in borrowed plumes. I would as soon see you, Mr. Rochester, tricked out in stage-trappings,as myself clad in a court-lady's robe; and I don't call you handsome, sir, though I love you most dearly: far too dearly to flatter you. Don't flatter me." | 81 | |
| 1106979999 | Rochester | speaker? "Jane, be still; don't struggle so like a wild, frantic bird, that is rending its own plumage in its desperation." | 82 | |
| 1106980000 | Jane Eyre | speaker? "I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being, with an independent will; which I now exert to leave you." | 83 | |
| 1106980001 | Jane Eyre | speaker? "I must keep in good health and not die." | 84 | |
| 1106980002 | Rochester | speaker? "Well, Jane! not a word of reproach? Nothing bitter--nothing poignant? Nothing to cut a feeling or sting a passion? You sit quietly where I have placed you, and regard me with a weary, passive look." | 85 | |
| 1106980003 | Rochester | Speaker? "Because, he said, "I sometimes have a queer feeling with regard to you - especially when you are near me, as now: it is as if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little frame. And if that boisterous channel, and two hundred miles or so of land some broad between us, I am afraid that cord of communion will be snapt; and then I've a nervous notion I should take to bleeding inwardly. As for you, - you'd forget me." | 86 |
