" I dimly perceived that she was spoiling my chance for the new life, even before it had begun." Do you think Jane is right on her assessment of Mrs. Reed?

I think Jane has a strong point by the way Mrs. Reed treats her. Although she promised Mr. Reed that she would treat Jane as her own, Mrs. Reed favors her own spoiled children and harshly punishes Jane for her seeming impudence, even locking her up in the "red-room."
