Mr
...
John Reed is the first of many male characters that will
have an influence on Jane’s later life
...
He treats Jane as nothing more than vermin, even going so far as to liken
her to an animal, “…tell mama she is run out into the rain – bad animal” and, ‘Rat!
Rat!” He takes great pains to make sure that Jane feels unwelcome and
abandoned at Gateshead
...
However, it may also be said in a sarcastic way as if she is repeating
the words John has told her but does not believe it

Reed, who shows Jane that not everyone in the world will treat her
nicely
...
The way he treats her is despicable but it teaches Jane to stand up for
herself

him that strengthen her character and ultimately gives her the courage she needs
to leave him in the end
...
Rochester is a sympathetic character because of the
mistakes he has made in his past
...
Despite their difference in backgrounds, social status,
and age, he is a kindred spirit to Jane, who feels a sort of emotional peace when
he is in her presence
...
Due to this Jane
develops a sort of independence that she didn’t have before because now she has
more of a clearer understanding of the world and the people in it
