Jane is a
plain average looking girl, especially compared to her cousin Georgiana.
Bessie actually agrees with Ms. Abbot's statement with, "A beauty like
Miss Georgiana would be more moving in the same condition." The servants
fail to be able to feel sympathy for Jane, just because she is not blue-eyed
and curly-haired like her "beautiful" cousin Georgiana. Affection and
compassion is easier for the people in the novel to give to the prettier girls
or boys, instead of the plain-average people. Although appearances are more so
oppositely related in Jane Eyre. The beautiful woman turns out to be selfish,
while the plain woman has deep passions. In contrast, there are characters that
obsess with keeping their external appearances plain and modest, but get
distracted by deeper truths and often turn out to be hypocritical.
