“In the deep shade, at the farther end of the room, a figure ran backwards and forwards. What it was, whether beast or human being, one could not, at first sight, tell: it grovelled, seemingly, on all fours; it snatched and growled like some strange wild animal: but it was covered with clothing, and a quantity of dark, grizzled hair, wild as a mane, hid its head and face.” (Charlotte Brontë: Jane Eyre)
Jane Eyre • ‘Fearful and ghastly to me—oh, sir, I never saw a facelike it! It was a discoloured face—it was a savage face. Iwish I could forget the roll of the red eyes and the fearfulblackened inflation of the lineaments!’ • ‘Ghosts are usually pale, Jane.’ • ‘This, sir, was purple: the lips were swelled and dark;the brow furrowed: the black eyebrows widely raised overthe bloodshot eyes. Shall I tell you of what it remindedme?’ • ‘You may.’ • ‘Of the foul German spectre—the Vampyre.’
