Gothic Flashcards
Chapter 2 - Jane in the Red Room.
‘I had to cross before the looking-glass; my fascinated glance … I thought it like one of the tiny phantoms, half fairy, half imp’
Chapter 11 - Jane hears Bertha’s laugh for the first time.
‘The laugh was repeated in its low, syllabic tone, and terminated in an odd murmur.’
Chapter 13 - Rochester describes Jane.
“No wonder you have rather the look of another world. I marvelled where you had got that sort of face. When you came upon me in Hay Lane last night, I thought unaccountably of fairy tales, and had half a mind to demand whether you had bewitched my horse: I am not sure yet. Who are your parents?”
Chapter 25 - Jane’s description of Bertha.
“It seemed, sir, a woman, tall and large, with thick and 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.”
Chapter 35 - Jane hearing Rochester calling her to return.
“Jane! Jane! Jane!”—nothing more.’
