After Jane experiences the emotional turmoil of losing Helen, Brocklehurst's neglect of the girls at Lowood is found to be one of the causes of the typhoid outbreak. Mr. Brocklehurst is replaced by other overseers, and conditions at Lowood improve after this point. In chapter 10, the narrative shifts forward as Jane completes six more years of school, then remains at Lowood for two years as a teacher. Based on the circumstances of her time at Lowood, Jane is not particularly anxious about leaving the school. Jane has a strong and resilient spirit, and she endures the conditions at Lowood with little complaint. When Miss Temple leaves the school to get married, Jane does not feel anything keeping her at Lowood. She wishes to experience more of the world and decides to make a change in her life. Jane puts a notice in the regional newspaper advertising her availability as a tutor or governess and is hired by Mr. Rochester a few weeks later.
