About Chapters 32-38 of Jane Eyre
In the final section of the novel, all of our story lines are wrapped up and we have a sense of conclusion. One that many readers find unsatisfying. We’ll read the final two-page chapter together in class after I’ve given a summary for chapters 35-37.
Questions for Thinking and Discussion
- How accurate is the description of Jane’s story that St. John relates in chapter 33? With the news of her inheritance, what does Jane acquire beyond money? What are your thoughts on how Jane handles the inheritance?
- What are your thoughts on St. John in these chapters? How is he characterized? What do you think of his request of Jane in the latter parts of chapter 34?
- How are Jane’s students described? What aspects of social class appear in the descriptions of the students? How does this relate to Jane’s inheritance?
- Is there any sense of the Gothic in this final section?
