After finishing Jane Eyre I have a lot to say about her and Mr. Rochester. First that was the biggest twist ever! I was completely shocked to find out that Mr. Rochester already had wife. He had a previous marriage to a woman named Bertha and she crazy and locked up in the attick! Thats just weird!
If I was Jane I would be absolutely devistated! I would feel betrayed that he did not tell me. There is so many ways to look at this situation. She could leave him, but she loves him. If she left I feel like she would just be miserable because she is missing her sole mate. The other way is she could stay and she could learn to deal with the situation.
If it were me I would stay. I know I would be miserable without the one I love and it is not like he is still seeing her on a regular basis. He aslo said they would be leaving Thornfeild Hall so they could start a new life together. I think it would be in her best interest to stay with him, but that is just my opinion.
I definetely agree with you! Bertha was a big twist in the story. But if I were in Jane's position, I think I would stay too. Like you said, she has always wanted to feel loved and feel like she belongs somewhere and she's found that with Rochester. Yeah, it sucks that he is already married, but the way I look at it is that he has this woman locked up in the attic where he rarely goes. So how much can she really mean to him anymore? So I would stay. Nice post!
