I liked his physiognomy even less than before: it struck me as being at the same time unsettled and inanimate. His eye wandered, and had no meaning in its wandering: this gave him an odd look, such as I never remembered to have seen. For a handsome and not an unamiable-looking man, he repelled me exceedingly: there was no power in that smooth-skinned face of a full oval shape: no firmness in that aquiline nose and small cherry mouth; there was no thought on the low, even forehead; no command in that blank, brown eye.
– Charlotte Bronte
Jane Eyre, Chapter 18. Jane is describing Richard Mason, who is visiting Thornfield to speak with Rochester. Mason, brother to Bertha Mason, is a significant minor character in the story. It is clear Jane doesn’t like his appearance and this is foreshadowing of the trouble he brings with him to Thornfield.
