1) Chapter1 “Each picture told a story; mysterious often to my undeveloped understanding and imperfect feelings, yet ever profoundly interesting: as interesting as the tales Bessie sometimes narrated on winter evenings, when she chanced to be in good humour; and when, having brought her ironing-table to the nursery hearth, she allowed us to sit about it, and while she got up Mrs. Reed’s lace frills, and crimped her nightcap borders, fed our eager attention with passages of love and adventure taken from old fairy tales and other ballads; or (as at a later period I discovered) from the pages of Pamela, and Henry, Earl of Moreland.”
2) In Lowood: “You may look at it,” replied the girl, offering me the book.
I did so; a brief examination convinced me that the contents were less taking than the title: “Rasselas” looked dull to my trifling taste; I saw nothing about fairies, nothing about genii; no bright variety seemed spread over the closely-printed pages.
3)when she first meets Mr Rochester. His dog is called “gytrash” by an over-imaginative Jane.
The fact with Bronte’s characters is that they have always a sort of imaginative world to help them bear the plain and boring reality. They usually don’t speak at anyone about it for fear of their thinking them weird but they have their special world which they express in writing or as Jane in painting. She is an artist remember and Mr Rochester understands she is different because of the ideas she expresses in her paintings. He admires her even more for that and their relationship is always treated as special almost unearthly. Jane is also named as a fairy herself and witch, changeling and elf by him. She also understands that she is different and can find little sympathy in the world of Miss Ingram’s (even kind Mrs Fairfax can not understand her dialogue about fairies with Rochester). She holds different ideas and values. She is definitely both a dreamer and a realist but in order to survive she has to reconcile both her fantasy and reality. If you want to find quotes just download an e-text (there is one at gutenberg.org) and search for words as unearthly and strange and you will see who names her so (even her aunt thinks she is weird).
It is more than half a lifetime since I read Jane Eyre, and I really cannot remember specific details of the novel other than very generally. However, these sites should help you with your work with it.http://www.glencoe.com/sec/literature/li…http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/janeeyre/http://www.studyguide.org/jane_eyre.htmhttp://www.cliffsnotes.com/WileyCDA/LitN…http://www.gradesaver.com/classicnotes/t…http://www.online-literature.com/brontec…
Not stories of fairies, but a fairy tale (page 98 in my edition) of Gytrash the horse spirit.
