Why chose Rochester?
Jane explained to St. John, that she could not marry without love. If this is the case, why chose Rochester, who attempted to trick you into marriage when he was already married, vs. someone who truly wants her and to be with her. Jane says she can’t marry without love, but does she really love Rochester? Or does she love the idea of Rochester? Running into the house to save his mentally ill wife? Has the hero complex somehow seeped into Jane Eyre, or does Jane truly love Rochester?
How was I somehow content with the ending, while not being content with the ending?
I can’t be the only one who didn’t agree with the ending, but somehow, with this particular story, I was content with the ending. It isn’t what I wanted to read, or what I thought it was going to be, but I think with all the texts we’ve read so far this semester, somehow this has been the least tragic. Even with Rochester’s wife dying in the fire, Jane herself ends up in a better place than she originally thought she would be. So it can’t be all that bad… Right?
