Charlotte Bronte uses the characterization technique of opinions to show how people often form conclusions about others and express them in their thoughts as either being cruel or friendly. As Jane is in her youth she develops her personality develops along with her because of her surroundings. “You are like a murderer--you are like a slave-driver—you are like the Roman Emperors.” (Bronte 8) This shows Jane has the maturity of a person much greater than that of a ten-year-old. “Mr. Rochester continued blind for the first two years of our union: perhaps it was that circumstance that drew us so very near – that knit us so very close: for I was then his vision, as I am still his right hand.
