Download file to see previous pages...Brontë is an intensely visual writer. Hence it is not surprising to find in Jane Eyre vividly described settings whose development is just as important as developments in the plot itself. This is evident in the first scene where Jane spends the morning reading Bewick’s ‘History of British Birds’. Jane narrates. it was the pages that depict picturesque landscapes and panoramic scenes that have always interested her. such that it is through this visual imagery that she ‘gave significance’ to the vignettes contained in her book (Bronte 9). Hence, Bronte emphasizes that like her, Jane is a visual person intimately aware of her environment, forming ideas by relating them to the visual. Moreover, the picturesque landscapes described also parallel Jane’s current situation, such that she herself is an isolated rock (9), estranged from family and ‘dispensed from joining the group’ by her own aunt (7). Hence, Bronte’s purposive use of visuals to highlight Jane’s emotional state is evident. Furthermore, the setting also illustrates Jane’s inner struggle between her passions and desires on one hand and her morals on the other by the contrast between fire and ice. As Jane describes herself while reading, she is seemingly trapped between the ‘scarlet drapery’ to her right and the ‘clear panes of glass’ to her left that is ‘protecting, but not separating [her] from the drear November day’ (8). Hence, this metaphor of imprisonment foreshadows Jane’s physical imprisonment in the ‘red room’....

Hence, this metaphor of imprisonment not only foreshadows Jane's physical imprisonment in the 'red room', but also the restraints imposed on her by Victorian society and her love for Rochester.
However, while the visual imagery in Jane's childhood at Gateshead has always been associated with colds of winter and the drear of November, her adolescence at Lowood marks a stage of emotional and intellectual development. In this respect, Bronte once again uses visual imagery to emphasize a shift in both Jane's state of mind and in the mood of the novel, such that according to Jane, 'the frosts of winter had ceased. its snows were melted, its cutting winds ameliorated' (140).
