It becomes a place stopped in time and detached from reality‚ in a way Thornfield Hall comes to represent Jane’s life. The first device Emily Bronte uses is a portrayal

The little girl ran into a wall. This was not an unusual occurrence but it was a painful one and the young child began to cry. Her mother didn’t help her‚ nor did her father – they were on a business trip to Peru.
