1. Honestly if I would be in love with a man to the extent that Jane loves Rochester, I don't think I would be able to leave. The stubbornness of Jane astounds me, because Rochester tells Jane the story about his wife and it's not his fault. I feel like if it was a different situation like if 1) he wasn't tricked into marrying her and 2) the wife is some hyena like creature... so how could he continue a marriage like that. I can see where Jane could be mad at Rochester, because he didn't tell her he was married. But would Jane have even considered him them????? Who knows...
2. I really want to finish the book and I have enjoyed reading Jane Eyre. I like the old english style of writing and even though Charlotte Bronte uses a ton of detail in her writing and with that she includes a ton of motifs as well. I like how the motifs aren't easily known, you really have to think about it critically in order to get more out of the text.
3. I think that this book should be taught in college lit. cause it's totally opposite from Catcher in the Rye. Mr. Kunkle said that in college we are going to have to learn to read all types of text and I think Jane Eyre in particular is a challenging one with different themes. I also think that it corresponds with the theme of the class of "coming of age" well too.
