Rosamond Oliver


       I chose to represent Rosamond Oliver, using a doll generator, as she was when Jane drew her. Jane admires Rosamond's outward appearance,  describing her as having "a face of perfect beauty". I chose to highlight her seeming physical perfection and generate her "Chestnut tresses" and "Eyes... large, and dark, and full".  Although Rosamond is beautiful and seemingly perfect, Jane feels no jealousy towards her. Contradicting her feelings towards Blanche Ingram, described as similarly gorgeous. In both instances, the man she is most close to is being courted by these "perfect women". It is only in Rochester case, whom she loves, that she envies the courting woman's physical appearance. Jane's encounters with Rosamond, foreshadows her feeling toward St.John; her lack of envy implying Jane doesn't and never could love him.
