This applies to Jane's life when her home life wasn't great and it just kept getting worse, until she got to go to Lowood and she liked Lowood more then home. Then she went to work as a governess at Thornfield and to her it was a whole new experience for her, being appreciated. “The wheel breaks the butterfly.” My interpretation of this line is that the “wheel” is really life itself and the “butterfly” is a delicate young girls dreams and life or reality 'breaks' the dreams. The reminds me of Jane because reality hit her when she was young because of her family. She knew at a young age that life was rough and woman didn't have much say in anything.

As the persona reminisces, there is a definite tone of regret and loss as she describes the backyard.

This accident caused Alice to transform from the happy, self-confident eight year old she was into an isolated depressed adolescent who retreated into reading stories and writing poems as an outlet.
