Answer: A. foolishness of people.

The author is describing the behaviour of the people. He tells us that the multitude of about two or three hundred people were pushing each other, elbowing and jostling, in order to get closer to the cylinder. These people are acting foolishly. Not only are they being rude and inconsiderate, but they are trying to get closer to an unknown object that could be very dangerous. This passage, therefore, states how foolish people can be.

9966 [12]
The Thornfield section is a kind of a trial for Jane, spiritual as much as carnal and sexual. Up until that point, she had never fallen in love. It happens to her now, but this love is not just another romantic love story. Her beloved is almost a ruffian, with violent fits and eccentric character - not at all handsome, but extremely passionate and therefore very sexual. Nevertheless, Jane senses a spiritual attachment to him, as her soulmate, which makes this relationship worth all the effort in her eyes.

On the other hand, Bronte juxtaposes the shiny, brilliant word of aristocratic, sensual bodies to the gloomy and stark spirituality of Jane Eyre. First of all, there is Rochester's story about his former mistress, Adele's mother, who was a beautiful, adulterous seductress. On the other hand, there is Rochester's noble company that he brings to Thornfield, particularly Blanche Ingram, who is also beautiful and apparently a very desirable match. She is Jane's absolute counterpart, and that is precisely why Rochester eventually casts her away to propose to Jane.

Here is how Jane sees her spiritual attachment to Rochester, observing him in the company of his noble friends:

"<span>He is not to them what he is to me," I thought: "he is not of their kind. I believe he is of mine;—I am sure he is,—I feel akin to him,—I understand the language of his countenance and movements: though rank and wealth sever us widely, I have something in my brain and heart, in my blood and nerves, that assimilates me mentally to him. […] I must, then, repeat continually that we are for ever sundered:—and yet, while I breathe and think I must love him."</span>

Answer:

You can infer that traditions are very important, since they stop fighting for such an important matter in order to send away their mother in the proper way of their culture.

It is also very interesting to see how they respect and protect the tree that, it seems, holds the essence of their loved ones in many ways.

It also seems that crop is just as important to their culture as family is.

Explanation: It's right on Edge, I just did it.
