The sensory details in the last paragraph of the excerpt support the narrator’s point of view by indicating the uncertainty and isolation that she feels at the moment. The description of the waft of wind and the dying sound suggests a sense of fleetingness and emotional distance, while the nightingale’s song, though beautiful, emphasizes her loneliness and the weight of her inner turmoil. This combination reflects her complex emotional state and the uncertainty she faces in the situation with Mr. Rochester.
Jane Eyreby Charlotte BronteAnother effort set me at liberty, and I stood erect before him.“And your will shall decide your destiny,” he said: “I offer you my hand, my heart, and a share of all my possessions.”“You play a farce, which I merely laugh at.”“I ask you to pass through life at my side—to be my second self, and best earthly companion.”“For that fate you have already made your choice, and must abide by it.”“Jane, be still a few moments: you are over-excited: I will be still too.”A waft of wind came sweeping down the laurel-walk, and trembled through the boughs of the chestnut: it wandered away—away—to an indefinite distance—it died. The nightingale’s song was then the only voice of the hour: in listening to it, I again wept. Mr. Rochester sat quiet, looking at me gently and seriously."Jane Eyre" by Charlotte BronteQuestionUse the excerpt from “Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Bronte to answer the question.How do the sensory details in the last paragraph of this excerpt support the narrator’s point of view?(1 point)Responsesby indicating the uncertainty and isolation that she feels at the momentby indicating the uncertainty and isolation that she feels at the momentby showing how energized she is and her efforts to be stillby showing how energized she is and her efforts to be stillby reflecting on the joy and happiness that she is experiencingby reflecting on the joy and happiness that she is experiencingby expressing the feelings that she cannot describe with only wordsby expressing the feelings that she cannot describe with only words
