What important symbolism is present in Chapter 8 in Jane Eyre?Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

In Chapter 8 of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre,
after having been accused of being a liar and being subjected to the ignominy
of standing for thirty minutes upon a stool, Jane weeps in her shame and fear of being
repudiated by the other girls, her friend Helen arrives to comfort her.  Throughout the
narrative that ensues, there are symbolic names and
places:

• Miss Temple, the kind-hearted,
  perceptive superintendent of Lowood School, invites Helen and Jane to share tea with her
  in her quarters which has a "good fire and looked cheerful."  Like her name, Miss
  Temple's apartment is a peaceful and comforting place where Jane finds refuge from her
  woes, just as her heart finds solace with the mother-figure of Miss
  Temple.


•  Miss Scratcherd, whose name, grating in sound,
  befits her personality, is representative of the oppression that Jane suffers at Lowood
  School.  The most severe of all the teachers, she is inspecting the bedroom of Jane and
  Helen, and berates Helen for the disorder in her drawers. The next day she humiliates
  Helen by writing "Slattern" on a piece of pasteboard which she hangs around Helen's
  neck.


• Helen, like Helen of Troy, is heroic and rescues
  little Jane from the miseries in her heart.


• Solomon is
  the biblical wise king to whom alludes when she states at the chapter's end that she
  would rather live at Lowood where she is loved by Helen than at Gateshead where she was
  better fed, but there was no love.


• The red room, to which
  Jane alludes when she relates her history to Miss Temple is symbolic of the punishment
  and alienation that Jane must overcome before she can truly develop as a character.  The
  memory of the red room reoccurs whenever Jane feels there is a connection between her
  present situation and her initial experience of being ridiculed.  The red room is
  symbolic of Jane's intellectual and emotional
  imprisonment.
