- Beginning of chapter shows she's settling in and enjoys life at Thornfield. Cliffhanger with who Grace Poole is and why there is so much discretion and secrecy about who she is.
- Interaction between Rochester and Jane shows up just how naieve Jane is to the outside world, "I think he was swearing...," "I had hardly ever seen a handsome youth..." We know this was because of where she grew up.
- "If even this stranger had smiled and been good-humoured to me when I addressed him...I should have...not felt any vocation to renew enquiries."(p.115)
This shows that her unhappy childhood has affected her in that she has only ever known how to deal with unkind or bad natured people. This is perhaps why she warms to Rochester so quickly, he's somebody she can relate to.
- The event was the first interesting thing that happened for Jane at Thornfield, so shows the distinct change Rochester brings to Jane's life- he makes it interesting, new and exciting.
