Mrs. Reed's Momentary Pleasantness by Meghan E
Right after Jane snapped at Mrs. Reed, the latter asks if she would like some water for her trembling and then says, "I assure you, I desire to be your friend." Not long after she goes back to accusing Jane of being deceitful, or at least passionate, saying it had to be corrected. My question is why is she suddenly acting concerned about Jane, when all we've seen before is her nasty side. Is it because of Jane's words? If so, the effects did not last long.

In my opinion, after Jane blew up on Mrs. Reed, Mrs. Reed felt bad. Her deceased husband had brought Jane into their home hoping to give her a decent upbringing after his sister, Jane's mother, had died. As a result, Mrs. Reed began to feel bad for treating Jane so poorly, on account it would not have been what her husband had wanted. Thus, leading her comment "I assure you, I desire to be your friend." However, her feelings quickly revolted back to her thoughts of the young girl deserving awful treatment for her deceitful behavior.
