Jane Eyre assignment 10.

In chapters 21-24 of Jane Eyre…Jane is sent to her home in Gatehead when Bessies husband Mr. Rogers comes to pick Jane up from Thornfield hall. Mr. Rogers informs Jane that John Reed has committed suicide and Mrs. Reed is in a deep and deadly depression. When Jane walks into the main living room to find Rochester and the rest of his guests having fun, Jane informs Rochester that she is going to leave and stay at Gateshead with her old “Family” for a few days(And in this conversation we learn that Rochester is getting married). Jane leaves for Gateshead and arrives there days later. When Jane arrives she is sent to bed and the next morning goes to see Mrs. Reed. When Jane sees Mrs. Reed, Jane is not very surprised that Reed has gone off the deep end. Then Jane sees her old “Sister” and is shocked by how much they have changed. Everyday Jane goes to see Mrs. Reed but she seems to be worse everyday. Eventually Mrs. Reed then reveals by total accident in her insanity a letter from her uncle just about proving that Jane’s uncle might be alive, or that he had officially adopted Jane into the Reed family, but Jane’s aunt never accepted that and hid the letter from everyone. Jane gets pretty mad and leaves Mrs. Reed for the night in a fit of anger and sadness. Then Mrs. Reed dies in her sleep and Jane feels remorse and then leaves to go back to Thornfield hall.
