Jane Eyre - The Consequences of Wickedness Discussed
Mr. Brocklehurst:
Do you know, Jane Eyre, where the wicked go after death?
Young Jane:
They go to hell.
Mr. Brocklehurst:
And what is hell?
Young Jane:
A pit full of fire.
Mr. Brocklehurst:
Should you like to fall into this pit and be burned there forever?
Young Jane:
No, sir.
Mr. Brocklehurst:
How might you avoid it?
Young Jane:
I must keep in good health and not die.

Jane Eyre - Confrontation of Truth and Authority
Young Jane:
You said I was a liar. I'm not. If I were I'd have said I loved you, and I don't. I dislike you less than anybody in the world. People think you are good, but you are bad, and hard-hearted. I will let everyone know what you have done.
Mrs. Reed:
Children must be corrected for their faults.
Young Jane:
Deceit is not my fault.
Mrs. Reed:
You are passionate.
Young Jane:
Uncle Reed is in heaven. So are my mother and father. They know how you hate me and wish me dead. They can see, they see everything you do, and they will judge you Mrs. Reed!
Mrs. Reed:
Get out.
