The Canterbury Tales and Jane Eyre

The phrase "Yes, but we are not ton conform to nature" stated by Mr. Brocklehurst to Miss Temple. This illustrates the imbalance of moral and spiritual obligations and worldly motivations influenced by experience.  The characterization of Mr. Brocklehurst also depicts the convolutedness and intricacies of beliefs that are influenced by experience.  In his case, he was a  respected male with a high social standing and held an occupation and with Eyre, she was a poor orphaned girl. These different demographics inact different interactions between people which form distinct experiences specific to these demographics. Our experiences also cause us to interpretation differently. "We are are not conform to nature" is used as a tool to stop women and women like Eyre to live authentically and to exclude them from the interpretations of how society and individuals of society should act.
