"Not a tie holds me to human society at this moment--Not a charm or hope calls me where my fellow-creature are--none that saw me would have a kind thought or good wish for me. I have no relative but the universal mother, Nature: I will seek her breast and ask repose"(328)
There comes a moment in everyone's life where they feel that everyone is against them. Jane feels this after leaving Mr. Rochester's estates because of the marriage incident. Jane believes that leaving is the only way that she can escape her problems and be free, but even after leaving, it seems that everyone she encounters on her journey as a vagabond, knows her problems and are rejecting to give her aid. Jane is forced to starve for 2 days and live in the living room of nature. Jane becomes a beggar, which you can almost compare to a homeless person, by the way she is rejected by the people she asks for aid. Now she didn't leave her house because of financial problems, but she is forced to live on the streets and beg for food. Even though she was still well dressed and didn't look like a homeless, she was still rejected, such as how many homeless are when they ask for money or food. This is when the feelings of loneliness and rejection from the people of the world are felt. If you are homeless, you feel the only thing you have to cling on to is mother nature, which is exactly how Jane feels.
