Jane Eyre: 'Did you ever see such a picture of !' (Chapter 1)
Here we see Jane's nature misinterpreted by those who have control over her in just one example of the injustices Jane faces as a child. Later in the text, we see how her goodness and high morals come from this very part of her nature.
Mr Rochester: 'You cannot always be sure whether he is in jest or in earnest, whether he is pleased or the contrary; you don't thoroughly him' (Chapter 11)
Mr Rochester is established as a type of 'Romantic hero' here: , challenging and separate from those around him. It's important to note that this first impression of him is neither negative nor positive.

The used to describe Bertha is indicative of her treatment: she is condemned and locked up like an animal.
St John Rivers: 'But I trace lines of force in her face which make me sceptical of her ' (Chapter 29)
