The story of Jane's life gives off a very dramatic and also a heart warming appeal near the end of the story's resolution. As the reader, I watched Jane grow and change, developing into something completely different than she started as in the beginning of the novel. She exhibits plenty of courage through all of her hardships, and takes pride as a woman. She searches inside her soul to help herself pull through, but also, some super natural occurrences guide her, and many of them made a deep impact on her life, changing it for the better or the worse.
In the beginning of the story, we see Jane as a little girl trying to live her life as normal as possible. Demands and criticism constantly surround her, and she finds it hard to cope with all of the pressure. Jane dislikes her aunt's harsh punishments, but she never dreamed that these punishments would really help her and make her a stronger person. The incident in the red room contributes greatly to this factor only because it helped her move on in life and not stay where she was in Gateshead. When Mrs. Reed throws her in the room and she thinks she sees what appears to have taken the form of a ghost, she is petrified and screams mercy at the top of her lungs. Now Mrs. Reed never should have kept her in the room, but when Jane passes out, she is immediately retrieved and taken to her bed and consulted by a doctor. While Jane sat in the room, she thought about her previous life before Gateshead and about her parents and realized that she could not give up hope and never quit trying. Mr. Reed's ghost made Jane recognize the fact that he watched over her and made sure she wouldn't get hurt. She knew that he knew how Mrs. Reed treated her and he knew that she had to get out of there. The doctor's suggestion of Jane attending school, concluding her exam, enabled her to move on in her life and expand her knowledge so that she had the ability to become something in life and also opened up her eyes to the world outside of Gateshead.
