Gothic Flashcards
Jane in the Red Room
“I had to cross before the looking-glass; my fascinated glance involuntarily explored the depth it revealed…I thought it like one of the tiny phantoms, half fairy, half imp”
Jane first heard berthas laugh
“The laugh was repeated in its low syllabic tone, and terminated in an odd murmur”
Rochesters description of of Jane
“No wonder you have rather the look of another world. I marvelled where you had got that sort of face. When you had came upon my in Hay Lane last night, I thought you had bewitched my horse: I am not sure yet. Who are your parents?”
Description of Bertha
“It seemed, sir, a woman, tall and large, with thick dark hair hanging long down her back. I know not what dress she had on: it was white and straight; but whether gown, sheet or shroud, I cannot tell.”
When Jane hears Rochester’s voice calling out for her to return
‘“Jane! Jane! Jane!”-nothing more’
