Jane Eyre Audio Theatre
Zack Of All Trades for Mr. Brocklehurst
Mr Brocklehurst is the supervisor of Lowood School. He is mean, vindictive and enjoys making the girls quiver in his presence. He enjoys the power he has and enjoys doling out punishments. He is legalistic and represents a harsh, cold subsect of religion. Brocklehurst wants the pupils of Lowood School to be modest and pious and he cruelly restricts their food rations. This is hypocritical, as his family enjoys very fine things and is not deprived of anything.
LINE CONTEXT:
Line 1: Mr. Brocklehurst has just met Young Jane, who Mrs. Reed has informed him as a bad disposition and is a liar. He is scolding and cold.
Line 2: When Brocklehurst learns Jane is at his school, he humiliates her by making her stand on a school before all her classmates and "warning them" about her.

No sight so sad as a naughty child. Especially a naughty little girl. Do you know where the wicked go after death? They go to hell. Should you like to fall into that pit and be burned there forever?
Be on your guard against her. Shun her example. Avoid her company. Exclude her from your converse. This girl is a liar.
