Within the first four paragraphs, Jane Eyre has already spoken. This goes to show how she is already showing that she has words and thoughts of her own, which is already quite different than how a man would write her during this time period. Not to mention, Jane is only ten at this point, but she is considered less than a servant. Although she is obident within this chapter because of the abuse she endures, she also does stand up for herself after the fact. Jane does show that she wants to be educated because she was reading a book, and also then goes on about her own opinions of the characters within the novel as well. She then tells the doctor how she wishes to go to school as well, and when Mr. Brocklehurts comes to examine Jane Eyre she gives honest opinions and thoughts. During the fifth chapter, Jane is sent to school at Lowood by herself at a young age as well.
