In response to Ms. Augustine's post on October 7, 2010,I would like to add to her statement, that Jane not only has a strong sense of mortality, but character's such as Helen and Bessie influenced the way Jane views life and acts during moral dilemmas. For example when Bronte writes, "...I must be torn from you for ever... In shape of Miss Ingram; a noble and beautiful woman,---your bride." the reader senses that although Jane is in love with Mr. Rochester she is devoted to a moral code that is similar to Helen and Bessie's way of thinking. Tis is significant because this shows that people like Bessie and Helen who lived by a strict moral code similar to the one of Jane had a greater impact on Jane's life then she knew.

Great stuff! Haha. I like how you analyzed more of what Mrs. Augustine was commenting on. While reading your post, I got the connection between Bessie and Helen pretty well because you explained it with background information. :)
