Two Sides of the Same Coin

One of the elements I find fascinating about Jane Eyre is her foil with Bertha Mason. In the book, Bertha represents everything that Jane has kept bottled up inside her: her pain, her sorrow, her rage and her desires. This is illustrated beautifully in the stage adaptation by Polly Teale, in which Bertha starts off as a kind of imaginary friend to Jane and throughout the play a part of her psyche. There's also a really interesting (and also pretty funny) analysis by Thug Notes that explains it really well and also has some other cool analyses on other book, including Wuthering Heights.

I wanted to illustrate Jane and Bertha as a reflection of one another, particularly showing Bertha as Jane's shadow.
