What symbol is this, and what does it symbolize? If you've studied Eastern philosophy at all, you may know the image is called yin and yang; the two colors "swirling" together--one light, one dark--represent the ways in which darkness and lightness or any other opposites work together to create meaning or to create balance. As you consider the way opposites attract, or inspire, each other in Jane Eyre, remember the details of this symbol.
