“Like types of the Hebrew ark” (173). The Hebrew ark, also known as the Ark of the Covenant, is a holy warehouse where the Ten Commandments are held. It is often referred to in the Bible, which Bronte must have been quite familiar with. The theme of religion is absolute through Jane Eyre; Bronte (through many characters) expresses Christianity and religion openly and often, in many different styles. These differences lead her main character to be confused, struggling to find her own view of Christianity.
