adele
In Charlotte Bronte's novel "Jane Eyre", there is a slightly inconspicuous character that many readers may choose to ignore. The character that I speak of is Adele, the adorable French girl that Edward Rochester has taken as his own. While many people may undermine the importance of this character in the novel, it is easy to see that she plays a vital role in the coming together of Mr. Rochester and Jane Eyre. Unlike many novels or stories, Bronte chooses to use Adele as more of a symbol, than someone who directly helps in the marriage of two people, meaning that Adele is unaware of her bringing her master and Jane Eyre together. The role of Adele can be described as small, and at times undefined, however, before all is said and done her role, or symbolism, as I see it is clearly defined. The first role that Adele plays in the story is that of a bridge between Mr. Rochester and Jane Eyre. Had it not been for Adele needing a governess they would have never met. Jane had sent out her application to a nearby paper to be published for people needing a governess to see. The only reply she received was from a Mrs. Fairfax, a servant at the Rochester mansion. It was for Adele that Jane was needed. Adele was rough around the edges, a
Although Rochester was always very critical of Adele in all that she did, you could not help but notice that he had a bond, as weak as it was, with the girl. Rochester, if you please: it would be better"(Bronte 654). Adele was as charming and innocent as they come, yet she still played other vital roles in the novel. Although Rochester likes Adele it is plain to see that he would rather not have to associated as much as he is with her. Once a fool in love with a beautiful woman, the less than attractive Edward Rochester found his soon to be wife a mistress to other men. For this very reason at times, he would shun Adele, try to make her feel inferior and unwanted. She not only brought out the bad qualities of his character, but the good ones as well. Although Adele does not always understand what Jane is trying to teach her, Jane is not flustered, and works harder the next day to help Adele learn. However hard he tries to make Adele disappear, or make her feel like a nuisance, she always desires to see him in the worst way. She must understand the pain that runs through the heart of her master every time that Adele is near. The affections between Adele and Jane become stronger to the point where Jane becomes worried of what will happen to Adele once Mr. The fact that his guests approve of Adele provokes Mr. Rochester was deeply in love with the woman and believed that she could do no wrong. Adele became quite close to Jane and enjoyed her company.
