Jane Eyre 9.

" . . . remorse is the poison of life . . . " (Brontë 138)

When Brontë says this he means that if life if lived through regret and remorse than there really is no living. Jane Eyre has a lot to regret from her life but she has chosen to push past it and more forward, living for the future. If she had not chosen to do so she would be over come by depression because of her child hood and would never be able to move on. She would forever be stuck seeing out of the eyes of that little girl.

    Love that last line -- really shows what Bronte was trying to accomplish through Jane's dialogue
