This statement is intended for people who would take offense at Jane Eyre because it is about a strong woman. The analogy presented is that custom is not always correct and even though it is the practice of the time for women to be soft spoken or lacking intelligence that does not make it the just way of doing things. This analogy leads to the Currer Bell's point that "conventionality is not morality." This statement is here to urge the reader to accept the ideas in the book all though they are new and unfamiliar. It helps the Currer Bell to explain his stance on the book and to place a question in the minds of his audience which may help him to achieve presenting a new way of thought or practice.
