The term euphemism refers to polite, indirect expressions which replace words and phrases considered harsh and impolite or which suggest something unpleasant.

Euphemism is an idiomatic expression which loses its literal meanings and refers to something else in order to hide its unpleasantness. For example, “kick the bucket” is a euphemism that describes the death of a person. In addition, many organizations use the term “downsizing” for the distressing act of “firing” its employees.

Read the excerpt from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë.
VikaD [51]

The juxtaposition of Jane’s and Mrs. Fairfax’s attitudes toward the dining room shows this about Mrs. Fairfax:

  • She sees the rooms in a practical way.

<h3>What was Mrs. Fairfax's disposition?</h3>

The disposition of Mrs.Fairfax in the text is that of a person who is not moved by the magnificence of the rooms. She rather sees them for what they are.

More so, since there were no humans to inhabit the rooms, there was not so much to brag about.
