How does Helen help Jane?
Helps Jane to accept her situation and moderate her outspoken behaviour, teaches Jane to be stoic
Who is Helen Burns?
Jane's first friend at Lowood, an extremely devout and stoic girl who is ill with "consumption" (tuberculosis)
Bronte uses Helen
To represent the acceptance of injustice in the context of Christian culture
Jane does not agree with Helen entirely
She rejects Helen’s focus on the afterlife as a solution to the suffering in life
This allows Brontë to show that faith in the afterlife is not a universal solution to human injustice
