Line #2 Heartwarming/JaneEyre


1	* Miss Temple invites Jane and Helen for tea, and the starving girls eat some delicious cake and converse about Latin.
2	* After Mr Brocklehurst humiliates her as an alleged liar in front of her new classmates, Jane is left distraught at the thought that everyone probably hates her now. Helen, however, is quick to assure her that, given how disliked he is by pupils and staff alike, Brocklehurst has probably garnered Jane more sympathy and compassion at Lowood than she would have been able to alone.
3	* Jane's caring for Adèle, and feeling sorry for her after Rochester explains that her mother had abandoned her.
4	* Mrs. Fairfax warmly greeting Jane when she arrives at Thornfield Hall, showing consideration for her long journey in the cold, making her comfortable, and telling Jane how glad she is to have the company.
5	* Mr. Rochester showing some of Jane's paintings to his guests during his business meetings in his house.
6	* When Jane finally leaves Gateshead after her cruel aunt dies, she and her cousin, Eliza, manage to part on surprisingly good terms--while they aren't necessarily friends, they get along much better as adults than they did as children and Eliza points out that, unlike Georgiana, Jane's at least doing something useful with her life and they wish each other luck in their futures. When they part, it is on civil, if not affectionate, terms.
7	--> '''Eliza:''' I am obliged to you for your valuable services and discreet conduct. There is some difference between living with such a one as you and with Georgiana; you perform your own part in life and burden no-one.
8	* Mr. Rochester asking Jane to join them in charades despite her not being of the gentry. Another gentleman, Mr. Eshton, also suggests asking her to join, showing that not all of Rochester's company are like Blanche and her mother.
9	* Jane's first return to Thornfield from Gateshead. She comes ''home'', looking forward to seeing motherly Mrs. Fairfax, hearing Adèle's nurse, Leah's happy greeting, and Adèle's chatter. The hot summer weather adds to the good feeling.
10	* Rochester actually bonding with Adele in the carriage scene after insisting he didn't want her on the trip.
11	* Jane spending Christmas with the Rivers family. [[spoiler: It helps that they turned out to be her cousins and she experienced what it feels like to celebrate Christmas with her own family for the first time.]]
12	* The very end of the story is full of these:
13	** [[spoiler: Reader, I married him.]] Aww. Narrator, congratulations.
14	** [[spoiler: When Jane finally reunites with Mr. Rochester after Thornfield Manor burned down--he has since lost his left hand and his eyesight, and he's worried that Jane will be repulsed by his current appearance. But is she? Nope! Jane assures Rochester that she still loves him despite what he looks like now, and she finally agrees to marry him.]]
15	*** [[spoiler: Jane eventually gives birth to her and Rochester's first-born child--a boy--and by then, Rochester has regained enough of his eyesight to be able to see their son.]]
16	* Small, because it's overshadowed by Aunt Reed's and her maternal cousins' mistreatment, but the maid Bessie was at least kinder to Jane than the other servants. She even visits Jane at Lowood School when she becomes a teacher and tells her she's done very well for herself. Her husband, Robert, is also implied to have been as kind, as Jane mentions that he used to give her rides on Georgiana's bay pony.
17	* Also small, and easily overlooked, but Jane, who has every reason to be afraid of [[spoiler:Bertha, defends her to Rochester: "'Sir,' I interrupted him, 'you are inexorable for that unfortunate lady: you speak of her with hate—with vindictive antipathy. It is cruel—she cannot help being mad.'" And Bertha, who has every reason to resent Jane, tears up her wedding veil and gives her a good scare, but never actually hurts her; she only sets fire to the bed two months after Jane is gone (probably as a spiteful "screw you" to Rochester).]]
18	* Helen being happy that Jane came to say goodbye the night she dies. She tells Jane, with absolute confidence, that she must not grieve because Helen isn't going anywhere bad. Jane asks if she'll see Helen again when she dies, Helen believes she will and they both cuddle up to go to sleep.
19	--> '''Helen:''' Are you warm, darling?
20	--> '''Jane:''' Yes.
21	--> '''Helen:''' Good-night, Jane.
22	--> '''Jane:''' Good-night, Helen.
