Beginnings of Lowood Institution

In my last post I commented saying that Jane will probably end up leaving the Reed home, and go to a better place. Well, Jane does end up leaving Mrs.Reed and her children but I don't know if that place is any better. After Janes last melt down with Mrs.Reed, Mr.Lloyd appears. Mr.Lloyd was very kind to Jane and was the only one who listened to what Jane had to say. He sensed that she didnt want to stay with Mrs.Reed. So he told Jane about going to school. Jane liked the idea of going to school, but she didnt know what she is getting into. What irritates me is that Mr.Lloyd appeared once and so far isn't mentioned again in the book. Another character that I wish appeared more often in the book is Bessie. After Mr.Lloyds appearance Bessie seemed a lot kinder towards Jane. When Jane was describing Bessie, it sounded like Bessie was the closest thing that Jane had to a mother figure. When Jane departed from Gateshead hall, she had lost one friend she managed to acquire there, Bessie. Now, Janes experience at Lowood institution wasn't the best of experiences. Lowood institution followed strict orders and regulations. The food wasn't filling and was partially edible, the girls wore the simplest of clothing, and the weather was so cold that the water used  to wash up would sometimes freeze. Jane was just starting to get used to Lowood Institution until Mr.Brocklehurst had come. Lets just say that Mr.Brocklehurst is the worst man to have ever lived on the face of the earth. First of all he is such a hypocrite!!! He says that the goal of Lowood Institution is to show girls humbleness and humility and that's why they make their own clothe and get barely enough food; while he and his famly indulge in what life has to offer. Jane's description of the clothes of Mrs.Brocklehurst and Miss Brocklehurst, showed that Mr.Brocklehurts probably has enough money to buy all the girls at Lowood Instituion proper clothing and enough food. Also the way he is treating the girls is cruel beyond imagination. He wanted to cut off one of the girl's hair, because it was too curly! Lastly, the way he treated Jane calling her an evil child and a liar, humiliating her in font of her peers! He obviously has no emotions or a drop of sympathy towards these girls. Nonetheless, I still have a feeling that in the end justice will be served and Jane will get a chance for victory.
