When her horrible aunt, Mrs. Reed, determines to send Jane away to school, Jane leaves to attend Lowood, under the administration of Mr. Brocklehurst. Mrs. Reed believes that Jane is a wicked child, despite the fact that it really is herself and her own children (Jane's cousins) who are wicked. Mrs. Reed wants Jane to be humbled and to remain at school for all her vacations, and she wants her brought up in a way that suits the little girl's prospects in life: in a word, she wants Jane brought up to expect little by way of compassion and a great deal by way of work. She claims that Jane is too passionate and seems to desire to see Jane's spirit broken. Luckily, Jane does meet with some kindness at Lowood.
