Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre
Chapter 2 Thornfield Manor
This room is not big, but it is enough for a single lady who is alone.Jane Eyre turned around and bolted the door, and then she really relaxed.Her luggage was placed on a chair by the window.Jane Eyre opened the suitcase and hung the few clothes in the closet.The closet was a big one with carved patterns, and Jane Eyre's clothes hung in it, not even one-tenth of it was filled, it was empty.Jane Eyre put the money and the little bag left by Mr. Darcy in the lined pocket of an inconspicuous spring dress—almost inconspicuous, of course, in every one of her garments.
Jane Eyre tidied herself up briefly, and got into bed.It has been more than a day since I came to this world, and I have been on the road.Finally settled down and lying on the big soft bed, Jane Eyre thought carefully and planned her future life plan.
She is not Miss Love in the original book, her soul comes from 200 years later, her thinking is too far from the mainstream of this era, it is difficult for her to "marry and have children" here, and spend her whole life - because there are almost no men Will understand her thoughts.Jane Eyre is a lover of literature in modern times. She knows that the status of women in this era is still very low, and they are almost just appendages of men. If women go out to work, they will be ridiculed instead.But Jane Eyre is different as a governess. The status of a governess is much higher than that of a maid, and a governess can even eat at the host's table.It turned out that Miss Love was really smart, and found a good place for herself to settle down.
It's just that Jane Eyre has read the original work and Miss Eyre's life.Miss Ai is strong and independent, daring to love and hate.It is precisely because of this that she bravely falls in love with her employer, Mr. Rochester, and is determined to spend her life with him.But after all, she is only a girl in her 20s, she doesn't know the dangers of the world, and no one has taught her about marriage.Rochester concealed the fact that he was married, and even his wife was locked up in the attic.At the wedding, the sudden appearance of the ex-wife's brother-in-law exposed the truth.Miss Ai is such a proud person, she immediately packed up her things and fled this place.Later, by chance, I met my cousin and inherited the inheritance, so I was completely free from the pain of poverty.However, her love for Mr. Rochester was not extinguished, and she resolutely rejected her cousin's marriage proposal, and returned to Thornfield to take another look.But at that time, Thornfield was in ruins - the instigator was the mad woman in the attic.Mr. Rochester even burned his eyes and lost a hand to save her, and the mad woman Miss Bertha died.But Miss Eyre still loved Rochester deeply, she voluntarily stayed to take care of him, married and had children with him, and stayed by her side all the time.
As an audience, Jane Eyre naturally admires this girl with the same name, and she also appreciates Miss Eyre's noble soul.However, as it stands now, she has become "Jane Eyre".She didn't think that she would fall in love with Mr. Rochester - after all, Mr. Rochester's hidden marriage and fraudulent marriage in the original book are true, and if it wasn't exposed, he didn't intend to tell Miss Love the truth.What Jane Eyre cannot tolerate the most is deception.
Then, she became Jane Eyre, and she couldn't stay in Thornfield forever, she must seek a new way out for herself.Now that he has made up his mind that he will not marry, the most important thing is to save enough money, at least to be able to find a place for himself to settle down.In this day and age, she can continue to choose to be a governess, at least she won't be bullied.And if you go to work in a factory, although you can earn hard money, a place like a factory is not a safe place for a single orphan girl.
Jane Eyre thought of the author of this novel, a female writer. 'Why can't I contribute writing? Jane Eyre was suddenly enlightened, "I can submit a manuscript under a male pseudonym, just write the most mainstream Gothic novels, and I don't need to write very well, as long as I can earn some manuscript fees." '
Jane Eyre can naturally regard creation as a part-time job, and she can start her side job in her free time as a tutor. 'When Miss Adele Warren no longer needs a tutor, I think Mr. Rochester will not be stingy in helping me find a next home!Even if he refuses, I can still be published in the newspaper like the original Miss Eyre. '
'As for Mr. Rochester, since I don't intend to have any relationship with him beyond the employment relationship, I should try to avoid any contact with him. If I don't attract his attention, I think a dull and dull tutor with an ordinary face is not a good person. will be loved by him. '
'Rice should be eaten bite by bite. '
Jane Eyre was a little happy. She made clear her goal and fell asleep with peace of mind.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn.
Sunlight streaming in through the gaps in the bright blue canvas curtains brightens the little haven.The walls were papered and the floor was carpeted.
Jane Eyre got up.Taking a simple dress from the wardrobe and putting it on--although every one of her dresses is like this--she let her hair down and put on the black coat (the only one Jane Eyre owned) a woolen coat), packed up the collar of his shirt, and went downstairs.
Jane Eyre came to the hall according to the memory of the previous day.There are several oil paintings on the wall, one depicts a serious man in a breastplate; the other depicts a graceful lady wearing a pearl necklace.Jane Eyre guessed that perhaps this was Mr. Rochester and his wife.There was a door of bright glass, which stood wide open, and Jane Eyre went out.
Thornfield Hall in the early morning has a vast beauty.It was a nice day, the autumn air was crisp, the fields were still green, but the leaves were starting to turn yellow.Jane Eyre went out and planned to look around. The house was three stories high, not very luxurious, but very grand.This is a gentleman's manor.There is a forest behind the house, and there are birds chirping.There are a few hills in the distance, and some small mountain villages can be seen faintly in the mountains.There is also a church not far away, which should be the one I passed by when I came here.The scenery here is pleasant and the air is fresh.Jane Eyre, who is used to the air pollution in the city, enjoys it very rarely.
While Jane Eyre was wandering in the front garden, Mrs. Fairfax also came out.
"You're out now?" she said.Jane Eyre stepped forward and exchanged a close kiss with her. "Good morning." Jane Eyre said with a smile, "Thornfield Manor is so beautiful!"
"Yes, it's a pity that Mr. Rochester seldom comes here. A manor without a master will always gradually become dilapidated." "Mr. Rochester?" Jane Eyre pretended to be surprised.
"Mr. Rochester is the master of Thornfield." The old lady took Jane Eyre for a walk in the garden: "I am just his housekeeper. The current Mr. Rochester's mother is named Fairfax, and her father is my husband's father's cousin." Brother, my husband is the pastor of that church." Mrs. Fairfax pointed to the church not far away and said, "Of course I am just a housekeeper, but my boss treats me very well and is very polite. He is a gentleman. .You should see him later."
"What about my student? Miss Warren?"
"She is a child under the guardianship of Mr. Rochester, and she brought her nanny here not long ago. Mr. Rochester asked me to find a tutor for her. Now I will find you!"
Jane Eyre nodded.At this time, a little girl ran over from the lawn, about seven or eight years old, with a pale face, delicate and lovely features, and long curly blond hair hanging down to her waist. 'What a lovely little girl!Just like a doll! ' thought Jane Eyre.This was her student, Miss Adele Warren.
Miss Warren said hello to her in French, and Jane Eyre replied to her in French. 'Fortunately, I learned French out of interest in college. '
Mrs. Fairfax was surprised to see that Jane Eyre could also speak French: "It seems that you can communicate smoothly. Miss Warren's English is not very good. She always uses both English and French in a sentence." You need to pay attention to this too, she will always stay in England in the future."
Jane Eyre talked with Miss Warren for a few words, and found that she was a very talkative little girl, not very arrogant.She couldn't help being a little happy, but she was also worried that she wouldn't be able to communicate with the children. After all, she was no longer the Miss Love who had taught in Lowood for two years.A group of them entered the house, went to the restaurant to have breakfast, and continued to chat.During the conversation, Jane Eyre knew that Adele's mother had passed away, and she also learned singing, dancing and reciting poetry from her when her mother was still there.Standing in front of Jane Eyre, Adele sang a selection from an opera with her immature childish voice and pretending to be sad. A woman cried out that she was abandoned by her lover.
Jane Eyre suddenly remembered that the child's mother was obviously an opera singer, but she was not a competent mother.After her mother died, Adele remained dependent until Mr. Rochester brought her to England.However, Mr. Rochester obviously had no intention of raising the girl himself, and soon returned to France.
Jane Eyre took Adele's little hand and entered the study.It has been transformed into a classroom.There is a small bookcase inside, full of elementary children's books and some leisure literary works, and more books are locked away.There is also an upright piano, an easel and two globes in the room.Fortunately, Jane Eyre was born in an ordinary family, but she has a pair of parents who raise their children seriously. Jane Eyre has learned some sketching and painting since she was a child, and she has also practiced piano for several years, so she will not reveal her secrets.
Jane Eyre could not see that a well-behaved and beautiful little girl like Adele would grow up to be fooled and empty-headed.As her first student, Jane Eyre naturally hopes to teach her well.So Jane Eyre took her to a math class all morning.The little girl is not impatient, it's just that she always asks to study for a while and go out to play for a while.Jane Eyre agreed, and made an appointment with her to take a 45-minute break for every 15-minute class.During the break, Adele and her nanny are playing in the garden, and Jane Eyre takes the opportunity to start thinking about her own creation.
Soon, at noon, Mrs. Fairfax appeared at the door of the small study: "I think it's lunch time!" Mrs. Fairfax led Jane Eyre to the door of a room.Inside the room was spacious and rich, with fuchsia chairs and curtains, and Turkish rugs.There is walnut paneling on the walls and colorful glass in the windows.Mrs. Fairfax placed the purple vase on the sideboard.
"This room is so beautiful." Jane Eyre sighed. "Yes, this is the great dining room, and I just opened the window for some air." Mrs. Fairfax led her again to an arched door which opened into a handsome drawing room.There is a white carpet under the atmospheric dark soft sofa and couch.There are delicate flowers in the vase.A marble mantelpiece holds some fine ornaments.This is a living room that has been cleaned and organized with care.
"Although Mr. Rochester doesn't come often, he always appears unexpectedly. He doesn't like to cover all the furniture with cloth, so the servants and I have to clean up frequently and welcome the master home at any time." Mrs. Fairfax explained Dao said, "He is not a harsh person, but he is a classy person after all, and it is common sense to have some habits and hobbies. Every tenant here thinks that he is upright and enlightened, and people in this place respect this family very much."
"A gentleman with a little eccentricity" Jane lovingly gave a definition to this employer who has never met but has long admired the name.
Jane Eyre tidied herself up briefly, and got into bed.It has been more than a day since I came to this world, and I have been on the road.Finally settled down and lying on the big soft bed, Jane Eyre thought carefully and planned her future life plan.
