WHAT IS THEIR ATTITUDE FOR EACH OTHER?

JANE

ROCHESTER

Both Jane and Rochester respect one another and share a sense of awe towards on another. They see each other in a different light. They trust one another and both feel the connection between them but are scared of the social barriers and the emotional risk that love might bring.

Rochester's admiration of Jane is expressed through magical metaphors throughout the novel. He saw her walking back to Thornfield he wonders that she did not ask for a carriage "like a common mortal" comparing her to a "shadow" or "elf" (208). He was able to "read [Jane's] unspoken thoughts" with such accuracy (209). Jane also comments that he smiled at her with his rare smile. He trusts her and enjoys her presence thinking she had forgot him while was away.

When Rochester asks if she could help charm him so that he might be more handsome for his future wife Jane thinks to herself, "A loving eye is all the charm needed..." (209). She respects him as her master but fears when he will "cease to be [her] master" (208). She says plainly that "wherever [he is] is [her] home - [her] only home" (209). Jane sees Rochester realistically, with all his faults, yet admires him so. She sees him differently from the rest and believes his presence to be a "sunshine" (210). The sight of him causes her nerves to become "unstrung" (208) because of the awe struck in her. She believes his "sterns has a power beyond beauty" (209).

HOW DOES ROCHESTER SEE JANE?

  • "if you are substance or shadow, you elf" (208)
  • sees her as something he can't get a hold on completely
  • "absent from me a whole month: forgetting me quite, I'll be sworn" (208)
  • misses her
  • absent implies an emotional distance (connotative)
  • "can't you give me a charm, or a philter, or something of that sort, to make me a handsome man' (209)
  • he trusts her and believes she has a strength or power that the normal girls in society don't

HOW DOES JANE SEE ROCHESTER?

"What does it mean? I did not think I should tremble in this way when I saw him---or lose my voice or the power of motion in his presence. I will go back as soon as I stir: I need not make an absolute fool of myself. I know another way to the house. It does not signify if I knew twenty ways; for he has seen me." (208)

-sentence structure/anticipation.

How does Jane see Rochester?

" I knew there would be pleasure in seeing my master again; even though broken by the fear that he was so soon to cease to be my master, even and by the knowledge that I was nothing to him...that to taste but of the crumbs he scattered to stray and stranger birds like me was to feast genially." (208-209)

-The author uses diction to show the contrast of what she feels compared to what she thinks Rochester thinks of her.

"well he is not a ghost: yet every nerve I have s unstrung." (208)

-The words "ghost" , "nerve", and "unstrung" all give the reader an image on how Jane feels to see Rochester again.

HOW HAS THEIR RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPED?

"..the sky, though far from cloudless, was such as promised well for the future: its blue- where blue was visible-was mild and settled, and its cloud strata high and thin..." (207).

  • clouds=barriers of happiness, foreshadowing that they still need to overcome something

"...but to steal into the vicinage of your home..." (208)

"Thank you, Mr. Rochester, for your great kindess. I am strangely glad to get back again to you; and wherever you are is my home-my only home" (209).

  • home=monosyllabic and connotative diction
  • provides sense of belonging, love, security
