Appreciation of Helen's Characters in Jane Eyre

Helen is a caring and comforting Jane Eyre like a big sister. Although the teachers and principals of the school scolded her, she never doubted herself. She is strong, but she is too resigned to fate. She is a very devout Catholic.

She was forced to shave her hair because it was naturally curly, but she was considered arrogant by the headmaster. Finally, Jane Eyre couldn't stand it. She shaved with her and found that she was in poor health. She was not sad at all before she died, but comforted Jane Eyre not to cry, because she believed that she would go to God and meet Jane Eyre again there.

Extended information Helen and Jane Eyre:

Helen is an oppressed but tolerant and kind girl. She helped Jane Eyre and was her friend, but she eventually contracted lung disease in the orphanage and died. Helen in the novel is a devout Christian. She seems to have a feeling of resignation. She always endures injustice silently, which is the opposite of Jane Eyre's strong sense of resistance.

Helen is Jane's perfect self and a real angel in her heart. In her opinion, Helen seldom complains about the unfair environment around her, and can calmly face the insults imposed by the outside world and face the people who hurt her with tolerance, which is beyond the reach of rebellious Jane.

But Jane will never be Helen. Helen's creed of "forbearance" is hard to understand in Jane's eyes. At the same time, Helen's attitude of no complaints and resignation in the face of punishment makes her very uncomfortable. But there is no doubt that Helen had a great influence on Jane's growth.
