At Lowood, much of Jane's character will be based on the concepts of (in)visibility and the power of the gaze. Speaking of Miss Temple, Jane Eyre says that "language" of Miss Temple has: "something that punished the pleasure of those who looked at her" (ch. , p.69). Unlike most of Jane's visibility, Miss Temple's is a positive visibility that pleases the eyes of the beholder. You could say that this is because Jane loves this teacher and is, more likely, blinded by her love and admiration for Miss Temple.

It is this unthought-invisible that shapes Jane's character in the next chapters of the novel and also determines her power of gaze: this is how she looks and feels at the world around her. Jane's new romantic self becomes a corollary to her interest in exploring the unseen that lies beyond the confines of Lowood. The new transformed self is also reflected in Jane's forgiveness of her aunt Sarah Reed when she visits her later. I saw her in a black dress…. From the city (85)I looked and saw a woman dressed like a well-dressed servant (86)After Miss Temple's departure from Lowood, Jane begins to think ambitiously about knowing what lies beyond the confines of Lowood school:
