Chapter 9 Life on the island

  • And of course that will happen, Mr. Havet agrees to the condition that his ex-wife offers, he will become a good father and provide for his young daughter until adulthood. Contrary to that, Mrs. Dixi was extremely upset, she did not understand why Havet did this, when it had to cost more money to bring another child into the foster home.
  • But she is not too narrow-minded, she thinks that maybe she will be a new pleasure for her to torture and abuse, if she is able to work, she will become an unpaid worker for family. Dixi as efficiently as possible without her having to spend extra money to hire someone else. Just thinking about that makes Dixi satisfied, so she easily accepts raising Jane like any other child, only she won't love Jane as much as her own son.
  • Jane since moving home to live with Mr. Havet's family, she has never had real joy because she is surrounded by mostly unnamed sadness. Jane is cared for and raised by Mr. Havet and Mrs. Dixi but she does not seem to feel it, she only receives estrangement and abuse from Dixi and her cousin Ruben.
