Ch. 5

Jane spends her first day at Lowood.

• Jane meets Helen, and is the only girl she speaks to, drawn to her because "her occupation touched a chord of sympathy somewhere" (p.51)
• She realises the school isn't as good as she thought.

• Weather is again commented on; "the wind rave in furious gusts, the rain fall in torrents" (p.47). Seems to be a recurring motif, could mirror her life- nothing positive, relentless hardships she has to face.

• The reader feels disappointment along with Jane, because we warm to her and don't like to see her have to cope with more difficulties.
