The red hue is used jointly in the Book of Revelations as the color of the seven-headed dragon. “Then there appeared another sign in heaven: and, behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven diadems” (Revelation 12:3). This dragon represents evil and esoteric darkness. The dark serpent is Jane's burden due to her extreme passions and unpleasant aunt. Although crimson is not traditionally associated with light-dark imagery, the red room was chosen to illustrate both Jane's passion as a child and as a color of war and bloodshed. At this point in the novel Jane is bleeding from the violent head wound she received from John Reed, this physical blow only begins to scratch the surface of the horrible war Jane has fought. Psychological and sometimes even physical warfare is fought for Jane's equality and right to love and be loved. Brontë goes on to illustrate the vile sanguine room. “From that profound environment the shadows rose high, and shone white, the piled mattresses and pillows of the bed, spread with a snow-covered Marseille bedspread. No less prominent was a large upholstered chair near the head of the bed, also white, and looking, as I thought, a pale throne” (Brontë 17). The white chair is the symbol of justice and the victory of incorruptibility. The allusion to pure white demonstrates Jane's innocence, against the accusations vehemently made by John Reed. This is further stated with the mention of the snowy throne. “And I saw a great white throne and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the sky fled; and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, small and large, standing before God... And the sea... in the center of the paper... light against darkness. Works Cited Bane, Theresa. Encyclopedia of Vampire Mythology.
