"How can she bear it so quietly- so firmly?' I asked myself' (Bronte, 43)
There are many instances of interior monologue in Jane Eyre. When the reader is allowed to see Jane's inner thoughts they form a bond with Jane, transforming Jane into a sympathetic character. Just as Jane's use of asides makes her character more personable, the series of interior monologues also give Jane a aura of reality. The reader feels as if they have know Jane for a long time; that she is an old friend.
The interior monologues are also the only source of information about other characters. Little would be know about Mr. Rochester, Adele, or Mrs. Fairfax if the reader was not able to share Jane's thoughts.
