Jane Eyre and Adèle

When Jane first arrives to Thornfield she is the tutor Adèle, an eight-year-old French girl whose mother was a singer and dancer. Rochester brought her to Thornfield after her mother, Celine, abandoned her. Adèle proves to be very intelligent, though spoiled and bit bad-tempered at times. But what else is there to expect from a ten year old girl. I personally love Adèle, and i believe that Jane will become a lot more closer to her further into the book.

  1. Why do you love her? I think I would love her, but then I'm fond of children. She does seem cheerful and affectionate, two things that make a person easy to love.

  2. How do you think Jane Eyre differs between the eight-year-old French girl? Do you think that Jane Eyre is less obnoxious because of how she grew up? Would like to know your opinion.

  3. As we can see, Jane is nothing like her auntie because she does seems happy and caring to Adel. Lets keep in mind that Adel is still part of the book since our minds are now mainly stuck with this relationship between Mr. Rochester and Jane.

  4. Jane and Adele - one raised poor and despised, one raised a child of wealth but parentless. Adele is certainly more outgoing and cheerful. She seems a bit greedy, and Jane certainly is the opposite.
