Isolation is featured in Chapters 1-5 when Jane is in Gateshead. She is constantly separated from the people around her. When Jane's parents die, she gets sent to her uncle's house. Years later, her uncle dies and she left with her aunt, Mrs. Reed. Jane's aunt is the main reason Jane encounter isolationism. For example, when she doesn't allow Jane to play with her cousins, Eliza, Georgiana, and John. Therefore leading Jane to be lonely and feel self-conscious upon the mistakes she makes. (When she trips at school.)
Isolation is seen from the very start of the book. In just the first few chapters, Jane is locked into the “red room” as a result of Jane's incident with John. Additionally, in chapter 7, Mr. Brocklehurst makes Jane stand on a stool when she drops her slate and forbids the other students to talk to Jane. This is another situation in which Jane encounters isolation again.
Isolation is seen in the book in both the physical and emotional aspect for Jane. The incident with the red room is an example of physical isolation, Jane is locked in the room all by herself. Another example of this is when Jane is kept away from John, Eliza, and Georgiana after her illness. This kind of physical distance with people leads to her emotional isolation. We see signs of her emotional isolation throughout the book. In the beginning at Gateshead, Jane does not have anyone to confide in and does not receive love from any care giver. This is what generally leads to her outbursts of impulsive behavior. However later we see that Jane begins to break away from this emotional isolation as she is able to find some comfort in Bessie. Another example of this would be Helen at Lowood. Jane is able to find a friend in who she can find love and affection. Despite this after Helen's death we see some of the symptoms of isolation come back.
Isolation is featured a lot in Jane Eyre, but mainly this is seen at Gateshead. Her aunt ensures the rest of the family isolated her and treats her wrong. Jane has no friends or companions and lives a tough life. Her aunt even tries to ensure she stays isolated by telling the headmaster of Lowood she is a liar when she is obviously very innocent. Also the red room scene is most used as symbolism for her family isolating her
