Inside the story
Mr. Brocklehurst is the clergyman who runs Lowood School, where Jane Eyre is sent as a pupil. He presents himself as a strict guardian of piety and discipline, but governs the girls with harshness and hypocrisy, publicly humiliating Jane before the school.
A tall, gaunt, grim-visaged man dressed all in black, with a long straight face, large prominent features, heavy dark brows, and a stony expression—resembling a black pillar.
