"a cormorant, sat dark and large, with wings flecked with foam; its beak held a gold bracelet, set with gems" (127)
Jane shows her paintings that she made at Lowood to Mr.Rochester during their first discussion. The first painting is of a sea with a cormorant siting on a mast. This cormorant is from "Paradise Lost" by John Milton. The bird represents temptation and greed. Mr.Rochester is the cormorant because he is tempted by beauty and money. Jane resists the temptation to stay with Mr.Rochester and by this she resists the cormorant in her painting.
