Coming of Age as a Worker

Cherubs looking over foundlings 
Books that Jane may have found comfort in during her time at Lowood.
Many governesses, no doubt, felt a sense of entrapment knowing that they have no real territory other than the room where they slept.
The painting "Awakening Conscience" shows a dilemma that Jane could easily identify with during her courtship with Rochester.
Despite her life's trials, or perhaps because of them, Jane was able to develop a sense of self that allowed her to marry who she truly loved.

  1. These are all really cool pictures! I like the angles of them, especially the one looking out of the window and the books. The window really does make you feel like you're trapped.

  2. Wow! I love both the selection and the cropping/framing of each image. You have a super eye for capturing telling details that communicate key ideas.
