She is an outsider in the Reed family, rejected by her cousins Georgiana and Eliza, and tormented by their brother John. As a result, Jane develops an active imaginative life dreaming of foreign landscapes, artistic expression, and escape. One day, John Reed provokes Jane to fight back against his attacks - then blames the entire trouble on her, calling for Mrs. Reed's intervention. So follows a terrifying night locked in the Red Room, where Jane receives a spectral visitation from the corpse of her Uncle Reed. Soon, the austere clergyman, Mr Brocklehurst, who runs a charitable institution called Lowood School, visits Jane. Without a reconciliation of any kind with her aunt, and aged only ten, Jane is to be sent away. See less
