Everything you throw out in life, eventually, comes right back to you.
Every now and then life has a way of bringing you back to parts of your life you would rather leave untouched and forgotten. Jane Eyre left the cruel environment of Gateshead at an early age and later in her life would rather just forget about it, but she has been invited to go back to that forlorn place to be with her past guardian, , in her last month on Earth. Jane has changed very much, unlike the furniture, since her first exposure to Gateshead. She no longer looks upon Ms. Reed with a hateful view, but with a pitiful look. as Jane is moving through Gateshead she sees many things that remind her of her childhood there.
"Old times crowded fast back on me asI watched herbustling about...Bessie had retained her quick temper as well as her good looks. Tea ready, I was going to approach the table; but she desired me to sit still, quite in her old comtemporary tones. I must be served by the fireside, she said...and I smiled and obeyed her as in bygone days... There was every article of furniture looking as it did on the morning I was first introduced to Mr. Brocklehurst: the very rug he had stood upon still covered the hearth...The inanimate objects were not changed; but the living things were altered past recognition." -Chapter 21
