Aperçu du contenu
Chapter 2 summary and analysis, Jane EyreAs she's being dragged to the red room, Jane resists her jailors (a person in charge of a jail or
the prisoners in it), Bessie and Miss Abbott. After the servants have her locked in, Jane
begins observing the red room. It is the biggest and best room of the mansion, yet it is rarely
used because Uncle Reed died there.
looking into a mirror Jane compares her image to that of a strange fairy. Being in a death
chamber seems to have stimulated Jane's imagination, and she feels superstitious about her
surroundings. She's also contemplative. The reader learns that Jane's uncle Reed, her mother's
brother, brought her into the household. On his deathbed, he made his wife promise to raise
Jane as one of her own.
She suddenly feels a presence in the room and imagines it might be Mr. Reed returning to
earth to avenge his wife's violation of his last wish. She screams, and the servants come
running to the room. Jane begs to be removed from the red room,but neither the servants nor
Mrs. Reed have sympathy, believing she is pretending to be afflicted. Mrs. Reed vows that
Jane will be free only if she maintains "perfect stillness and submission." When everyone
leaves, Jane faints.

standards of the period. Jane Eyre, as a character, stands out amongst other female
protagonists of the time because of this.

oppression begun in the previous chapter.
