I think that Lowood has a more positive impact on Jane. She met her first friend, Helen, there. Jane is able to get an education and have some people who is affectionate towards her, like Miss Temple and Helen. It is definitely better than Gateshead. I don't think anything positive would have come out if she stayed at Gateshead. She would have just been abused and neglected at the Reed household. Although Jane did get punished at Lowood, she was often comforted after and she learned lessons out of it unlike in Gateshead. Jane was able to support herself in Lowood and later become a teacher and a governess because of the institution.
I agree, living in Lowood impacted Jane more positively. Though the beginning was rough for her, such as being publically humiliated in front of the whole school, Jane was really able to form herself. She was able to interact more and was in a way more positive environment than the one at Gateshead. I also think she would not have been able to become a Governess if she had not moved because she had not been provided to go to school in Gateshead. Additionally, Lowood was the place she got her first job. I would rather be in Lowood since it overall would’ve helped in obtaining a better surrounding and means of education.
I also agree! Considering Jane's prior circumstances and her experiences with the Reeds, Lowood definitely served as Jane’s escape route. I think Lowood is a significance period in Jane’s life because she begins to mature. Compared to Gateshead, Lowood is like a safe haven. At Lowood Jane has more opportunities to truly “form herself” like Ami said. Although Jane does not hold fond memories of Gateshead and at the arrival to Lowood, she learns valuable lessons from the people she encounters, such as patience from Helen and how to stand up for herself from Ms. Reed. During Jane’s time at Lowood, Miss Temple’s influence on her plays a very significant role. She guides Jane through her studies and acts as a shield against Mr. Brocklehurst’s cruel accusations. Miss Temple is one of the few female characters that Jane looks up to and regards as a true maternal figure. A few years later Miss Temple marries and leaves Lowood and Jane can’t find any other reason to stay and decides to leave as well. I think Miss Temple (along with encouragement from Helen) is what really held Jane in place during her stay at Lowood. - Merlin John
I agree with everyone else. I think that although she had a rocky start, Jane was able to push through the negative judgement and become the best person that she could be. She was able to overcome her past of emotional, mental, and physical abuse from Gateshead and even the humiliation she first endured at Lowood, along with the poor living conditions. Once Mr. Brocklehurst is replaced, educational and health circumstances in Lowood increase greatly and Jane is able to excel in school. Through her strong studies, she is able to become a teacher, and after a few more years, she is able to become the governess for Rochester. Looking back to the beginning, Jane's stay at Lowood helped transform her from a young orphan girl to a well-respected governess.

Jane conceives a more positive vibe in Lowood compared to when she is in Gateshead. Lowood is a place where Jane is truly encounters people who are care and express warmth to Helen. She feels safer and accepted in Lowood. Jane begins to encounter true friendship and perceives this "childhood" she wasn't able to experience when she was in Gateshead. When Jane is in Gateshead we don't really see her child like behaviors because Mrs. Reeds prohibits her from playing with her cousins. Like Ami said, Lowood is a place where Jane forms herself. Jane is able to develop her role as a child. Although Jane encounters hatred and isolation in Gateshead, I believe that there are some positive outcomes from there. Because Jane doesn't gain affection from the Reeds, she is able to take care of herself and be more independent as she grows up. -Hayoon Chung
Jane's experience at Lowood, compared to her previous home, was very beneficial to her. Although Lowood was a complete downgrade from Gateshead (such as the infrequent meals, raggedy clothing and the poor establishment) Jane did not endure a tremendous amount of harsh and unjust treatment. Her time at Lowood gave her the opportunity to gain more knowledge as she studied new languages and received a good education. She was also able to bond and connect with other people, such as her friendship with Helen, whereas she was isolated and lonely at Gateshead. Overall, Jane was able to escape the persecution at Gateshead and found refuge in a place that was not as luxurious, but where she felt accepted.
Comparing jane's experience at lowood to her experience at gateshead, it was definitely more positive and better than what she went through with the reeds. Even though jane was still treated badly like a outcast, she was able to benefit from her time at lowood, because she was able to find a friend here along with that, she was able to recieve education here, whereas with the reeds, she wouldnt be able to recieve such benefits. So lowood was definitely a benefit to jane.
Lowood without a doubt, had a much more positive effect on Jane. At gateshead Jane had no one to be her friend, she was kind of stuck by herself and her own thoughts until she came to Gateshead. Even though the possibility of Janes friend being just imaginary is still relevant, going to lowood and experiencing life where everyone doesn't have a personal vendetta against her allowed her to develop into the character that she was to become. Without a doubt I would choose Lowood, being by yourself, especially when your only rare company dislikes you, is Horrible, at least at Lowood you have a better opportunity to control your own future
