73.

Jane Eyre: I am glad you are no relation on my. I will never call you aunt again. I will never visit you. I will tell anyone who asks you treat me with miserable cruelty.

Mrs. Reed: How dare you affirm that?

74.

Governess: It is not like ladylike to strike a young gentleman. Your benefactress’s son, your master!

Jane Eyre: Master? How is he a master? Am I a servant?

Governess: You are less than a servant. You do not work.

75.

Jane Eyre: Let me out, please! Abbot, Bessie, I am frightened. Let me out, let me out, Bessie.

Bessie: Are you feel right? What a dreadful noise.

Jane Eyre: Let me out. I saw a light. Maybe it was a ghost.

Bessie: You silly child. That was Ruddock the gardener with a lantern.

76.

Mr. Rochester: I am a trite, commonplace sinner, hackneyed in call the pretty dissipations of the rich and worthless.

77.

Mr. Rochester: Remorse is the poison of life.

Jane Eyre: Repentance is said to be its cure, sir.

Mr. Rochester: It is not its cure. Reformation maybe.

78.

Mr. Rochester: May I get a sweet please. I will get it, as sweet and fresh, as the wild honey the bee gathers on the moor. You are like a bird. Trapped in a cage: vivid, restless, but a captive, were it but free… It would soar cloud-high.

Jane Eyre: To speak truth, sir, I do not understand you.

15. The atmosphere of communication

The atmosphere of communication is the linguo-psychosociocognitive relations of the communicative act participants.

Dialogue 79:

– Damnation!

– Can I help you?

– Stand aside!

– I can fetch help, sir.

– Have no broken bones. It`s only a sprain.

– Shall stay with you until you can mount your horse.

– You should be at home. Where do you come from?

– Thernfield hall. I was posting a letter. I am a governess there.

– Oh, yeah, the governess, come here.

From this dialogue we can analyze such circumstances and conditions that formulate the atmosphere of communication:

– place of communication (the dialogue was in the forest);

– surrounding of communication (it was outside, in the nature);

–time of communication (it was at midnight);

–events during the communication (Jane scared the Rochester`s horse and he fell down on grass);

–number of participants (there were two of them);

– the length of communication (the communication lasted near 5 minutes).

Dialogue 80:

– What do you want cousin?

– Cousin? Starling cousin, orphan cousin. Call me master Reed. I want you to come here. What was you doing behind the curtain?

– I was reading.

– Show me the book!

– Wicked boy!

– You are sliver driver!

– Jane, no!

– What a picture of passion!

– Take her to the red room and locked her in there.

– Hold her hands!

– Take her!

In this dialogue is observed the states in which the participants of communication are:

• the psychological state (is overstrained, almost on the way of the breakdown);

• emotive state (they were quarreled, even fight);

• physical state (Jane is a girl and that`s why she was weaker than the son of Mrs.Reed);

• types of the participants character (Jane is very good and calm child, she liked read lonely and the son of Mrs.Reed is conflict boy).

Dialogue 81:

– Is your book interesting?

– I like it.

– What is it about? There is no picture.

– Do you want me to go away? I did want someone to talk to. Why do they call this an institution?

– It`s partly a charity school. You and I are charity children.

– Have you been here long?

– Two years.

– Are you an orphan?

– My mother is dead, my father remarried.

– Are you happy here?

– You ask rather too many questions. I want to read.

Here we can see the relations between the participants of communication:

• The extent of the familiarity (they just met each other for the first time, and became good friends);

• The existing/ non-existing of common interests (they both were orphans)

• The concern about the theme of communication (they spoke about their life without parents)

Dialogue 82:

–Your name little girl

–Jane Eyre, sir.

–Well, Jane Eyre are you a good child?

– Do you read your bible?

– Sometimes.

–With pleasure?

– Bits of it.

– Do you know where the bad children could go after death?

– They go to the hell, sir.

– What is hell? Can you tell me that?

– A pit full of fire.

In this dialogue it is observed social, cultural, psychological and other factors of the communicative process:

• Social status (Jane is a little girl, she is an orphan adopted by her aunt; Mr.Brocklehurst – the head of the orphan school);

• Age status (Jane is a ten year old girl; he is about forty-five);

• The level of education (she had no education, but still she could read; he was an educated man);

• General cultural level (he had a high cultural level, he knew the Bible by heart, Jane didn’t have a high cultural level);

• The life experience (he was old enough to have a great life experience, she was only ten, that’s why she was inexperienced)
