Answer:

hello Sarah!

Step-by-step explanation:

well the correct answer is An obedient, accepting child

Helen is extremely intelligent, calm, and caring, but her most important aspect is her devout religious faith. Helen would basically be a walking version of the New Testament instructions to "turn the other cheek" and "bless them that curse you" and "love your enemies."

Helen Burns is a foil for Jane. This means that Jane's character contrasts withHelen's. They meet at Lowood.This is a school headed by a cruel Headmaster.Helen is admired by Jane because Helen is intelligent and too religious.
