  2. Jane Eyre Robert Stevenson 1944 • “Bessie Lee must, I think, have been a girl of good natural capacity, for she was smart in all she did. [...] She was pretty, too, if my recollection of her face and person are correct. I remember her as a slim young woman, with black hair, dark eyes, very nice features, and good, clear complexion; but she had a capricious and hasty temper, and indifferent ideas of principle or justice”.C. Brontë, Jane Eyre, cit., p.61

  3. Jane Eyre Robert Stevenson 1944 • “Old times crowded fast back on me as I watched her bustling about - setting out the tea-tray with her best china, cutting bread and butter, toasting a tea cake, and between whiles, giving little Robert or Jane an occasional tap or push, just as she used to give me in my former days”. C. Brontë, Jane Eyre, cit., p 255;

  4. Jane Eyre Robert Stevenson 1944 • “he called his mother old girl, too; sometimes reviled her for her dark skin […]; bluntly disregarded her wishes; not infrequently tore and spoiled her silk attire; and he was still ‘her own darling’”. C. Brontë, Jane Eyre, cit., p . 47 • “large and stout for his age”. Ibid., p. 41

  5. Jane Eyre Robert Stevenson 1944 • Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last. […]These things and deeds are diametrically opposed: they are as distinct as vice from virtue” Prefazione a C. Brontë, Jane Eyre, cit., p. 35.

  6. Jane Eyre Robert Stevenson 1944 • “What is God?” “I believe God is good; I can resign my immortal part to Him without any misgiving. God is my father; God is my friend; I love Him; I believe He loves me”. C. Brontë , Jane Eyre, cit., p.113

  7. Jane Eyre Robert Stevenson 1944 • “I would not now have exchanged Lowood with all its privations for Gateshead and its daily luxuries”. Jane Eyre, cit., p. 93.

  8. Jane Eyre Robert Stevenson 1944 • “I must disown half my nature, stifle half my faculties, wrest my tastes from their original bent ”. C. Brontë Jane Eyre, cit., p. 424

  9. Jane Eyre Robert Stevenson 1944 • “She would always be plain. The grace and harmony of beauty are quite wanting in those features”. C. Brontë, Jane Eyre, p. 366

  10. Jane Eyre Robert Stevenson 1944 • “I lingered in the long passage to which this led, separating the front and back rooms of the third story-narrow, low and dim, with only one little window at the far end, and looking, with its two rows of small black doors all shut, like a corridor in some Bluebeard’s castle”. Jane Eyre., p. 138.

  11. Jane Eyre Robert Stevenson 1944 • “We mounted the first staircase, passed up the gallery, proceeded to the third story: the low, black door, opened by Mr. Rochester’s master key, admitted us to the tapestried room. […] He lifted the hangings from the wall, uncovering the second door: this, too, he opened.”. Jane Eyre., pp. 320-321.

  12. Jane Eyre Robert Stevenson 1944 • “My master's colourless, olive face, square, massive brow, broad and jetty eyebrows, deep eyes, strong features, firm grim mouth-all energy, decision, will-were not beautiful, according to rule”. C. Brontë, Jane Eyre, cit., pp. 203-204
