Examples Of Epilogue To Jane Eyre
INDER PLACE THAN THIS

Phoenix could hear the lashing of swords outside her chamber as she hid under the covers of her bed. She had woken up to the sound of them. To the guard shouting something outside her room until she heard his cries of agony as he lay dying. It was then Phoenix threw the cover over herself- maybe it could protect her from the monsters outside her room.

Phoenix knew something had happened to her father. He had been at war for a moon's turn but even she knew soldiers only came storming into a castle, killing everyone who happened across their path, when that particular opposing side had fallen.

She heard the door slam open and she shut her eyes tightly- Phoenix always wanted to die as well and that wasn't going

'How did you get here?' asked Phoenix, climbing out of her bed.

'Never mind that, we have to go.'

Fyre was two years older than Phoenix. She had only turned fourteen last month. She now grabbed Phoenix's hand and lead her out of the room.

After checking if the corridor was clear, Phoenix and Fyre ran down the stone steps. Their red hair flying behind them. As they ran down, Phoenix saw soldiers- from both sides- laying on the ground, covered in blood. Some already dead, whilst others were moaning. One man was even crying out and trying to grab at Phoenix's ankles.

'Where are we going?' asked Phoenix, jumping over a body.

'Mother has a boat waiting for us.' said Fyre, running faster.

Both girls made their way down to the boat house. Fyre opened the door and Phoenix saw the fool- Buttontop tying the rope that held the boat to the post, while Mother said on the step, crying and watching him. Mother didn't seem to recognise Phoenix or Fyre and it was only when her sister touched their mother on the shoulder did she turn to face them.

'Fyre! Phoenix! You're all right?' she cried, embracing them

    While Phoenix is walking along on her journey in to the town she stops to take a break on the bank. Even though she does not chose to take a nap she still somehow manages to drift off into what some may consider and dream, or a warped sense of reality. “She did not dare to close her eyes, and when a little boy brought her a plate with a slice of marble-cake on it she spoke to him. “ That would be acceptable,” she said. But when she went to take it there was just her own hand in the air” (2). It seems that the stresses of the journey along with the deteoration of her body due to old age are taking a toll on Phoenix.…

    The Foils of Jane Eyre

    • 1196 Words
    • 35 Pages

    Though Blanche, from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, thinks that opposites attract and thus that she will marry Rochester, Brontë has different ideas about foils. Near the end of the novel Jane marries Rochester effectively quieting Blanche’s ideas. However, Brontë does use foils in the novel for a different reason. She uses characters will opposite personalities to reveal more about them, and to keep the reader from overlooking many of the major characters’ traits. For instance, without Blanche, who is a foil of Jane, one may have thought Jane a simple and plain governess and nothing more. Similarly, without St. John the reader could have missed Rochester’s passionate side, or with no Mrs. Reed how supportive Miss Temple really is. Using foils, Brontë reveals more about the personalities of the major characters, and keeps the reader from overlooking many traits. One can see that Jane and Blanche are opposites from before they even meet. While Jane is rather plain and unattractive on the outside, Blanche is described as beautiful with, “the noble bust, the sloping shoulders, the graceful neck, the dark eyes and black ringlets” (183) Even Jane cannot deny that Blanche is beautiful. In addition, Blanche grows up in a rich noble family while Jane is an orphan who was sent to a lowly boarding school. The opposites do not stop at their looks and backgrounds, for even Jane and Blanche’s personalities are completely different. Jane is an independent, passionate, and respectful young woman, although she often seems very practical and rational. Blanche flaunts herself, gossips, talks about marriage, and can be very rude as shown when she says “she (Jane) looks too stupid for any game of the sort” (194). While Jane was in the room, Blanche speaks loudly and rudely of her without a second thought. In addition, Blanche only wants Rochester as her husband for his money, and for the title of a wife. She likes the fact that he is not handsome because as a…

    I would estimate the volatility of the total unpredictability of my real option by doing some research. There are many sites that provide information on expected income. I would find out how much a first year tax accountant would expect to earn. This would be the driving factor in the volatility because the amount I would earn at my current job could be accurately estimated at a full time rate. The present value of the future cash flows could be calculated by using the estimate given for a first year tax accountant. There wouldn’t be any fixed costs to execute the option because there isn’t a fee to pay to drop out of school. The only cost that I could incur would be the tuition money that I may lose and that will be explained in the upcoming paragraph.…
