  1. The biggest thing I learned from Jane Eyre was the principle of forgiveness. She was not treated very well in her early life. Her caretakers abused her and she was deprived at school. I believe it was after talking to Helen that the idea of forgiving even entered her mind. She was able to overcome it all with good character.

    When she went to be a governess for Adele, she was introduced to many people of a high social ranking. They were rude to her but she didn’t let it bother her. That was an example of forgiveness to me. Why? Because I believe that even though forgiveness, is somewhat thought of as making an excuse made to justify one’s actions. I believe that forgiveness is more about letting go. When someone does something bad, you can’t change that. But you can change your attitude of the situation.

    There is a song from the Jane Eyre Musical called “Forgiveness”. I feel that the lyrics really explain the what, how, and why questions of forgiveness. Gracious and I will be singing that song for our inspirement and you will be able to learn more from that. But there is one part I would like share. It says that forgiveness is the mightiest sword. I really believe that is true because if you always forgive, you will be happier and no kind of grudge will have power over you.
