Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Jane finds Helen Burns on her death bed at Lowood School. After Helen says goodbye to Jane, Jane asks Helen where she is going. Helen replies:

Answer: To my long home - my last home

Jane is in a perpetual state of doubt as a child - the strict religiousity she has witnessed both through her Aunt Reed and the draconian Mr Bocklehurst makes her resentful of religion. Through Helen and Miss Temple, she discovers a more benevolent and morally guiding sense of God.

Answer: Mr Reed

Mr Reed was Jane's uncle, late husband to Mrs Reed.
Mr Eyre was her father, who died before the time line of this novel, along with his wife, thereby leaving Jane an orphan.
Mr Rivers comes later . . .
Mr Rochester. . .need I go on?

3. Upon her arrival at Thornfield, who does Jane believe is her new employer?

Answer: Mrs Fairfax

Mr Rochester is, of course, Jane's employer but she has no correspondence or knowledge of him until after her arrival.
Mr Mason is Bertha's brother.

4. What suggestion does Rochester make to Jane that induces her to vehemently interject?

Answer: That her sketches were not entirely her own creation.

Jane's ability to draw was her one pride. Later a portrait of Mr Rochester that she begins at Adele's insistence causes a personal realisation in Rochester and he tears it to shreds.

Answer: False

Not really likely, as he turned out to be a reckless hedonist with no remorse and a bane to his mother's existence!

Answer: He has been married since his youth and his wife still lives.

This really affected my crush on him . . .

7. What chapter does this line appear in? "There was not possibility of taking a walk that day"

Answer: Chapter One

So mundane but so effective.

8. After their engagement, what does Rochester do that irritates Jane?

Answer: He insists on buying her lavish dresses and jewels.

He suddenly becomes a flattering Casanova with line like "I shall make the world acknowledge you a beauty". She responds that she shall "not be [his] Jane Eyre any longer, but an ape in a harlequin's jacket".

Answer: False

She is tempted to stop and forgive everything so as to spend the rest of her life with him but her morality and courage ensure that she doesn't give in and she leaves without any contact with him.

10. Towards the end of the book, after spending time away from Rochester, Jane falls in love with St John. They marry, have a baby boy and live with his sisters.

Answer: False

Would that be an ideal romantic ending?
