Jane Eyre: Question 7

Charlotte Bronte uses suspense quite handily in Jane Eyre in order to keep readers wanting more. The creepy vampire-mental-wife in the attic I thought was a really good tool to keep people sucked in. For a while we had no idea what was up there. We just knew Jane kept hearing this creepy laugh in the attic that might have been Grace Poole. Next she's tending to Mr. Mason and keeps hearing this random growling,,,what's up with that? All I can say was I was thoroughly creeped out and the suspense definitely got to me. Bronte also used love to keep people engaged in the story. The fact that Jane receives no love in the beginning, well maybe very little of it but still, made me pretty disgruntled. I kept reading because I wanted to know how the heck someone can go on with little to no love to thrive on. Next Jane ends up at this horrid school for orphaned girls were this is like one teacher that ever shows any affection towards any of the girls. So Jane barely knows what love is at this point. Next she starts slowly falling in love with her master! Oooooo! A twist in the plot! Jane does know how to love! Of course it's to good to be true and it turns out he's hiding his other crazy wife in his attic. Will Jane ever know real love?!
