which quotation from jane eyre most effectively illustrates the claim?
a “my future husband was becoming to me my whole world; and more than the world: almost my hope of heaven. he stood between me and every thought of religion, as an eclipse intervenes between man and the broad sun.”

b “i am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh;—it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at god’s feet, equal,—as we are!”

c “i sometimes have a queer feeling with regard to you—especially when you are near me, as now: it is as if i had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little frame.”

d “laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this, when body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigour. . . . if at my individual convenience i might break them, what would be their worth?”

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
The claim is that Jane adheres to a rigid moral code over human passion. Let's analyze each option:
- Option A: Focuses on Jane's love for Rochester over religion, which doesn't show prioritizing moral code over passion.
- Option B: Talks about spiritual equality, not directly about moral code vs. passion.
- Option C: Describes a romantic connection, emphasizing passion rather than moral code.
- Option D: States that laws/principles (moral code) are for times of temptation (when passion may urge to break them), showing she upholds moral code even when passion challenges it.

# Answer:
D. "Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this, when body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigour... If at my individual convenience I might break them, what would be their worth?"
