Analysis of the Function of Bertha in Jane Eyre[a]School of Foreign Languages， Northeast Petroleum University， Daqing， China.*Corresponding author.Received 18 October 2014; accepted 24 December 2014Published online 26 January 2015AbstractThis paper chooses Bertha， Mr. Rochester’s mad wife as the object of analysis. This woman， always locked in the attic at Thornfield never appears on the stage openly. In fact， she works as another clue paralleling with the plot of the heroine. Bertha and Jane， just represent the two sides of women but are forced to be spiritually split off under patriarchy. They are sisters and comrades in the struggle for women’s emancipation.Key words： Bertha; Mad; Jane; Rochester; IrrationalHui， J. R. （2015）. Analysis of the Function of Bertha in Jane Eyre.

Available from： http：///index.php/sll/article/view/6383DOI： http：///10.3968/6383INTRODUCTIONAs the legal wife of Mr. Rochester， Bertha Mazon never appears on the stage seen by the audience face to face. Throughout the novel， she only exists in the form of laughter， sounds， shadow and a series of accidents. On the first day when Jane went into Thornfield， Bertha declared her existence in a special way.While I paced softly on， the last I expected to hear in so still a region， a laugh， struck my ears. It was a curious laugh―distinct， formal， mirthless. I stopped. The sound ceased， only for an instant. It began again， louder―for at first， though very distinct， it was very low. It passed off in a clamorous peal that seemed to echo in every lonely chamber， though it originated but in one， and I could have pointed out the door whence the accents issued… for the laugh was as tragic， as preternatural a laugh as any I ever heard; and， but that it was high noon， and that no circumstance of ghostliness accompanied the curious cachinnation; but that neither scene nor season favored fear， I should have been superstitiously afraid. （Bronte， 2003， p.9）
