Jane briefly accounts the changes that are made in the school after the public find out about the appalling conditions and deaths. Then she skips a few years, mentioning a few important facts, but not much else. Jane decides to start advertising for a position outside of Lowood, as she felt that nothing was keeping her there anymore. Jane is offered a position at Thornfield, and Bessie reappears just before Jane leaves for her new job.
Characters
- Bessie’s back for a brief period, she is now married, with a child; to the coachman (this demonstrates something about class systems). She shows how, despite the difference in their upbringing, Jane has equaled, is not surpassed, her cousins
Narrative voice
Jane seems both certain and uncertain in this chapter, as Lowood has been her only proper home for a very long time. It also shows Jane’s need to keep busy and herself occupied.
Response
Don’t really have a strong opinion on this chapter, as nothing much really happens.

Yes, class and status alluded to here. Keep looking out for it. Does Jane find herself unsure about her status in many situations in which she finds herself?
