Ms. Temple
Ms. Temple is one of the many teachers at Lowood, which Jane attends. She expresses love and communication to her students -- more than any of the other teachers could accomplish. One night, Ms.Temple invites Helen and Jane for dinner in her room. She says to Helen Burns, "How are you to-night, Helen? Have you coughed much to-day?...And the pain in your chest? (74)". Ms. Temple exhibits her feelings for her students by showing them she is concerned : "...Ms. Temple embraced us both, saying, as she drew us to her heart:-- 'Gob bless you, my children!' (76)". From this quote, we can conclude that Ms. Temple tries to treat her students equally and as if they were her own children.
