Ch. 11

Jane begins life at Thornfield Hall.

  • A change of place occurs, and Jane seems to relish it, asking questions frequently about Thornfield and Mr Rochester.

  • Narrative style interesting at beginning of chapter;

"A new chapter in a novel is something like a new scene in a play; and when I draw up the curtain this time reader- you must fancy you see a room in the George Inn at Millcote..." (p.95)

Very informal, chatty style and tells us directly that she is trying to make us- the reader- feel within the story as an observer, following Jane wherever she goes.
