JE #2

“Humility is a Christian grace, and one peculiarly appropriate to the pupils of Lowood; I, therefore, direct that especial care shall be bestowed on its cultivation amongst them” (93). Bronte often foreshadows upcoming events. Here she uses foreshadowing to let the reader know that humility, like at Gateshead, is “peculiarly appropriate” and will be used. The reader is hopeful that her schooling at Lowood will be better than her life at Gateshead, but this creates possible contemplation for the reader.
