Cold

" Before the long hour and a half of prayers and Bible reading was over, I felt ready to perish with cold." (Bronte, 52).

Whenever something negative happens, it is either foreshadowed with cold or described with cold. Jane's red-room was cold, the school is cold, the winter is frozen, the list goes on and on. Bronte is using ice in a negative light, while she uses warmth as a positive one. She also writes about it being cold when religion is talked about.
