【正文】 evangelical form of religion that strips others of their excessive pride or of their ability to take pleasure in worldly things, while Helen represents an angel who is meek and forbearing.. Brocklehurst uses religion to gain power and to control others。 Helen ascetically trusts her own faith and turns others cheek to Lowood?s harsh policies. Like Jane, Helen is an orphan who longs for a home, but Helen believes that she will find this home in Heaven rather than Northern England. And she is not obvious to the injustices the girls suffer at Lowood, she believes that injustice will be found in God?s ultimate judgment—God will reward the good and punish the evil. But neither form of religion satisfies Jane, who has strong 12 belief in fairness and selfrespect. Influenced by them, Jane ultimately finds a fortable middle ground. Her spiritual understanding is not hateful and oppressive like Brocklehurst?s, nor does it require retreat from the everyday world as Helen?s. For Jane, religion helps to curb immoderate passions, and it spurs one to worldly efforts and achievements. Jane even receives more religious teaching from her new friend, Helen Burns who has a plete faith in God, and just builds a happy world in the Heaven rather than in the reality, which is so different from Jane?s quest for love and happiness in this world. For Helen, she has learns how to accepts the punishments in stride and without any plaint. Utterly passive and accepting of any abjection, Helen embodies the Christian ideas of love and fiveness rather than in the way of preaching. All these are taught at Lowood that they should be selfeffacing, to endure deprivation without plaint, and to expect little out of life. But for Jane, she is so sensitive to injustice。 she reviles Brocklehurst?s shallow devotional displays and fails to understand Helen Burns? passivity. Helen?s doctrine of endurance and love is inpatible with Jane?s belief in fairness and selfrespect. We can know easily that Helen?s fatalism system at Lowood has provoked Jane?s anger and great dissatisfaction to the unfair doctrine of religion. Before Helen is dying, she tells Jane that she will avoid suffering, she is going to heaven, and she believes people?s soul will go there when they die. But for Jane, she just holds Helen tightly, and cannot quite believe that heaven exists. Jane is affected by Lowood Institution, too. It is a place where Jane learns morals and religion in the strictest sense. “They are taught to teach those acplishments to wealthier girls rather than to use them to attract husbands for themselves. They were, in fact, trained to believe that they would never find husbands since they had no financial assets to offer”. (Teachman, 2021:29) So after Mr. Bochester asks her to marry him, when he says that he will send for her family jewels, she refuses firmly. She cannot have jewels because what she has been taught at Lowood influences her deeply, also it will upset her plainness and she will no longer look like that plain, Quakerish type of girl. 13 Lowood has quite a deep impact on her life as it is sure to have had on the other children, like Helen Burns who are admitted there. Helen’s Firmly Belief in God Jane has been influenced by Helen who has a firm belief in God and a blind faith in trying to find the spiritual sustenance in Heaven. She believes in God?s judgment to everything—rewarding the good and punishing the evil. For Jane, she disagrees with Helen?s attitude towards God。 nevertheless, to some extent, she counts on God for support and guidance in her research. When Jane expresses her own idea that she will love those who love her, and hate those who punish her unfairly, Helen advices Jane to read the Bible and love their enemies just like Christ says. When Helen is going to die, she tells Jane that she believes and has faith, she is going to God. At the same time, little Jane confusedly asks her where is God, what is God? In that era when religion was dominant, no doubt, such questions are bold challenges to religious theory. But for Helen, she just relies implicitly on His power and confides wholly in His goodness。 it seems that she is waiting for the hour to meet God. That is Helen who pletely believe the God, which gives little Jane too much confusion. Helen?s firmly believing in God has influenced Jane greatly in the future. When St. John Rivers asks Jane to marry him just for his career as a minister in India, she refuses him firmly, because in her mind God can be a belief, but she cannot do anything hypocritical and immoral, even cannot sacrifice her love for Him. Jane knows clearly that her intent is not to be of service to God and to those in need, but to find a place of fortable retirement for herself where she can indulge her desire to live a life of isolated contemplation. When Jane has known Rochester?s wife is still alive, after the wedding crowd disperses, Jane locks herself in her room and plunges into an inexpressive grief. She thinks about the almost calm manner in which the morning?s events unfolded and how it seems disproportionate to the immense effect those events will have on her life. At this time, she prays to God to be with her. Indeed, from this we also know Jane relies on God?s support and guidance to some degree, but not absolute blind. 14 Helen?s firmly believing in God has influenced Jane?s morality and love, even her whole life. From this we can see that friends will help children define their identity, and validate their selfworth. Helen’s Calm Acceptation of Death Helen?s calm acceptation of death prompts Jane to think the true meaning between the heaven and the hell, even the values of life. When Helen is dying, it seems that she has been waiting this day for a long time. She weles the day?s arrival. Why? Why she faces her death so c
