"But, Jane, I summon you as my wife: it is you only I intend to marry" (258).
This quote is very similar to the series of Harry Potter. The reader can tell that Jane and Rochester have an utmost immediate attraction and soon become to love each other. This is connected to Ron and Hermione because they make it clear they love each other just like Jane and Rochester. I think its safe to say that Rowling got some ideas from this novel because there is way to many references.

Diction - 2
"Reader it is not pleasant to dwell on these details. Some say there is enjoyment in looking back to painful experience past; but at this day I can scarcely bare to review the times to which i allude." (290).
I thought it was very interesting that Bronte addressed the reader directly, something I haven't seen yet in the novel. Its amazing how the author puts such variety in each sentence and it personally makes me like the book more. One thing that is strange is how she describes how some people look back at painful memories for enjoyment which is odd. It makes you think about the text more and how Bronte wants you to look at the words.

"She was a woman of robust frame, square-shouldered and strong-limbed, not tall, and, though stout, not obese: she had a somewhat large face, the under jaw being much developed and very solid; her brow was low, her chin large and prominent, mouth and nose sufficiently regular; under her light eyebrows glimmered and eye devoid of truth. . ." (27).
This quote from the book had great diction. I like how Bronte described Mrs. Reed in such a interesting way. I could also somewhat picture her in my head and i don't do that much when I'm reading. This also made me see her in a different way because in the movie she seemed to be tall and skinny but the words the author used make it a lot better in my opinion.

"And what is hell? Can you tell me that?"
"A pit full of fire."
"And should you like to fall into that pit, and to be burning there forever?"
"No, sire."
"What must you do to avoid it?"
"I deliberated a moment: my answer, when it did come was objectionable:" I must keep in good health and not die." (32).
This quote comes early in the novel when Jane is first admitted to the school at Lowood. This takes place with Mr. Blocklehurst in which he and Jane discuss the belief in Hell. This school at Lowood and her terrible treatment while growing up with her aunt destroyed her faith in Christianity, and it continues like this throughout the novel until the end.

"Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties, and a field for their efforts. . ." (95)
Jane has currently taken a job as the governess at Thornfield. Jane describes in the quote how she thinks its unfair how women are restrained to domestic duties and can't explore other fields of service. Its clear throughout the novel that Jane does not want to accept a life of domesticity and fights the idea until the end of the novel.

"Blanche and Mary were of equal stature,-straight and tall as poplars. Mary was too slim for her height; but Blanche was moulded like a Diana" (174-175).
Diana was a Greek goddess, the Goddess of the Hunt, the moon, etc. To say someone was molded like a "Diana" would be to call them extremely beautiful, tall, and statuesque, as well as strong and graceful. So basically Bronte is saying Blanche looks perfect and is perfect in a way.

"The caged eagle. whose gold-ringed eyes cruelty has extinguished might look as looked that sightless Samson" (439).
This is a important quote referring to Rochester on how he has changed throughout the novel. Rochester's change isn't just personal and emotional, but physical as well. Samson is a important biblical figure who was taken prisoner and then they blinded him to make him more helpless. Bronte was obviously connecting this to Rochester because he has basically lost all hope because of his attempted crime.
