The scene takes place in Victorian England, Jane Eyre, an orphan aged 10, is raised by her strict aunt, Mrs Reed. One day, while reading in the library, she is discovered by her cousin John and his sisters.

“You have no buisiness to take our books ; you are dependent, mama says. You have no money. Your father left you none. You ought to beg, and not to livehere with gentlemen’s children like us, and eat the same meals we do, and wear clothes at our mama’s expense. Now I’ll teach you to rummage my bookshelves : for they ARE mine.The whole house belongs to me, or will do in a few years. Go and stand by the door, out of the way of the mirror and the windows.”

I dod so, nit at first aware what was his intention. But when I saw him lift and poise the book and stand in act to hurl it, I instinctively started aside with cry of alarm. Not soon enough, however. The volume was flung, it hit me, and I fell, striking my head against the door and cutting it. The cut bled, the pain was sharp : my terror had passed its climax ; other feelings succeeded.

“Wicked and cruel boy !” I said. “ You are like a murderer – you are like a slave driver – you are like the Roman emperors !”

I had read Goldsmith’s History of Rome, and had formed my opinion of Nero, Caligula etc… Also I had drawn parallels in silence, which never thought thus to have declared aloud.

“ What ! What !” he cried. “Did she say that to me? Did you hear her, Eliza and Georgiana? Won’t I tell mama ? but first -----“

He ran headlong at me. I felt him grasp my hair and my shoulder : he had closed with a desperate thing. I really saw in him a tyrant, a murderer. I felt a drop or two of blood from my head trickle down my neck, and was sensible of somewhat pugent suffering : these sensations for the time predominated over fear, and I received him in frantic sort. I don’t very well know what what I did with my hands, but he called me “ Rat ! Rat” and bellowed out aloud. Aid was near him : Eliza and Georgiana hat run for Mrs.Reed, who was gone upstairs. She now came upon the scene, followed by Bessie and her maid Abbot. We were parted : I hear the word –

“ Dear ! Dear ! What a fury to fly at Master John !”

“ Did ever anybody see such a picture of passion !”

Then Mrs Reed subjoined.

“Take her away to the reed room, and lock her in there.” Four hands were immediately laid upon me, and I was borne upstairs.
