Answer:

There are three correct choices here: 1. Meals, 2. Red Room, 3. Sight.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Jane Eyre", is a novel that was written by Charlotte Bronte, and which was published for the first time in 1847, under the pen name "Currer Bell". There are many themes and motifs that appear inside the book, which express not just the vision that the author had regarding Victorian society, but also the rejections towards certain traditions of this society that clustered and imprisoned women. As such, we see fire and ice, which means the coldness of the Victorian world, vs Jane´s passion towards things. We also see the recurrence of meals, the moments in which a lot of the events that mark a turning point, or mention something important to the story, happens. We also see sight as a motif, as it is one of the issues that underlines Jane´s experiences and which guide part of her actions and behavior during the story. Finally, we see the motif of the red room, which implies the desire for freedom, a breaking from Victorian tradition, from what her family imposed on Jane, and which she wants to break free from.
