I am very confused by Grace Poole. Her character is very suspicious. Is she dangerous? Jane thinks she is the one who started the fire in Mr. Rochester's room. She heard her loud laugh right before the incident happened. That was fishy to me. She also might have bit Mr. Mason. That was very weird! Who goes around biting and attacking people?
Earlier in the reading it says that Jane over heard two servants talking about Grace. They were saying how she gets paid a lot more than everyone else and she could leave if she wanted to. I thought that was weird. Why is she getting paid so much? I was thinking maybe earlier her and Mr. Rochester were together at one point. I feel like maybe that is why she is still there.
Maybe if she is dangerous and violent it is because she is angry at Mr. Rochester. Maybe she is angry that he broke it off. I honestly don't know I want to know more about her character!
I agree Kristi, Grace Poole is a very confusing character. She has a creepy laugh and seems like she's insane! But now that I have read further I understand more about Grace. Just in case people haven't read it yet I won't give it away. :) But for a while, Grace was a creeeeepy character!
