While the Reeds treated Jane awfully they still gave her decent tasting
food, good quality clothing and a warm bed, so why does she enjoy the
school more? Even though she does not feel alone at the school, does
that really mean more to her than being physically healthy?
I believe that Jane prefers an environment with mental enrichment and stability, rather than a full stomach. Although Jane mentions the small and ill prepared portions of food, she also mentions how she loves Helen and her teachers. Lowood makes Jane feel valued. Mrs. Reed, on the other hand, does nothing of the sort. Many children today have both a physically and mentally enriching environment. Jane had to choose between them. In the end, Jane chose environment she found to be more positive.
