“
“I tell you I must go!” I retorted, roused to something like passion. “Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton? —a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! —I have as much soul as you,—and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh;—it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet, equal,—as we are!” 去书内

    Why should one stand with others as equals? If relying on material, Jane Eyre is poor, there are many people in the world are richer than her. If by virtue of beauty, Jane Eyre looks ordinary, skin is not white, white beauty is long legs. If by rank she was only a governess, there were a dozen, if not thousands, of aristocrats in the world, and Rochester was before her. She never stood on material grounds, nor on beauty, nor on position, but on her soul, her heart. As long as her heart stands, she is not inferior to anyone. You don't have to admit your insignificance. In front of people, everyone is the same.She believes that love should be based on spiritual equality rather than social status, looks or wealth. We should hold self-esteem, self-reliance and self-improvement like Jane Eyre.
