Hi,
I am writing an essay about Jane Eyre for school. I am writing about religion in Jane Eyre and how Mr. Brocklehurst, St. John, and Helen Burns play into the message of the book on religion. In the part where Helen dies, we learn that 15 years later Jane inscribed resurgam (I will rise again) on her tombstone. My intuition tells me, that at the end of the book 15 years have past from that moment. If that was true, it would really help my argument, so in other words
How old is Jane Eyre at the very end/epilogue?
When Helen dies she is 10, 10+15=25, so is she 25 by the end of the book?
