Jane walked into the room curious to know who could have wanted to see her. Her curiosity was lulled when she opened the door to find a man of dark appearance. Mrs. Reed sat by the fireside and introduced Jane to the man, "This is the little girl respecting whom I applied to you". The man gave her a sinister stare, and examined her from head to toe. "Her size is small: what is her age?" said the man. "Ten years," said Mrs. Reed. "Your name, little girl?" "Jane Eyre, sir." The man continued asking her questions, "Well, Jane Eyre, are you a good child?"Unfortunately, Mrs. Reed stepped and said, "Perhaps the less said on that subject the better, Mr. Brocklehurst."This completely changes my view as a reader because with first person, I would at least know the true feelings and the actually thought of one character, but third person is less personal; therefore, it is harder to discern what Jane is thinking in between each of the questions. As of right now, my converted excerpt could express a positive connotation towards the relationship between Jane and Mr. Brocklehurst, something completely false in the actually passage.
