For this part of the assignment you should read the passage of Jane Eyre and, in no more than 600 words, explain how it relates to the themes and action of Jane Eyre as a whole.
What crime was this, that lived incarnate in this sequestered mansion, and could neither be expelled nor subdued by the owner? — What mystery, that broke out, now in fire and now in blood, at the deadest hours of night? — What creature was it, that, masked in an ordinary woman’s face and shape, uttered the voice, now of a mocking demon, and anon of a carrion-seeking bird of prey?
(Brontë, C. (2019 [1847]) Jane Eyre. Edited by M. Smith with an introduction and notes by J. Atkinson. Oxford: Oxford University Press, p. 204–205.)
