As the first and second chapters go on‚ Jane describes a multitude of people and things‚ but they are scarcely clearly positive; this could be Bronte showing Jane as a negative person‚ or show her to have almost a depressive outlook on her situation‚ one that is quite justified it seems through the abusive nature shown towards Jane in these chapters. In chapter two‚ Jane is locked into the red room because of her ‘fight’ with John‚ and her
