Charlotte Bronte’s imaginative yet supposedly somewhat autobiographical novel Jane Eyre has as much a tale that would grace the pages of a children’s bedtime tale as it does the controversial and notorious novel that it was thought of after its publication. The romantic love story of Mr. Rochester and Jane is one that transcends all generations. ... Mr. Rochester and Jane’s love is more along the lines of Snow White than it is a true Victorian love story.
When looking at a novel like Jane Eyre one must realize the historical backdrop of the novel. ...
The governess position in which Jane was employed was one that was very popular for women who were once had money but lost it due to a father’s death or were other ways destitute. ... Jane’s job as governess is to teach Adele how to be a lady and to take care of her, but while she is doing this she falls for Mr. Rochester. (Cluesman)
Mr. Rochester can be seen as the beast in Beauty and The Beast. ... ”
She explains that Mr. Rochester is obviously someone with which social interaction is rather impossible. She has obviously known him for an extended period of time and most people would develop some kind of relationship with their master, but she seems to not have any feelings toward him whatsoever. ...
Mr. Rochester is also not considered to be a very good looking man. ... Jane also notes that she is not an extremely good looking girl. ...
We first see this forbidden love interest take shape as soon as Jane sits down and talks with Mr. Rochester. ... The next night he invites Jane to come talk with him. He then asks what could be seen as his first proposition towards Jane. He asks
“‘You examine me Miss Eyre,’ said he: ‘do you think me handsome?’”
This is when Jane becomes rather flustered and the words “No, sir” slip from her mouth. ... Jane also begins to see beyond Rochester’s less than handsome outside into something deeper.
Jane soon begins to realize how she feels about Rochester. ... Jane explains
“It does good to no woman to be flattered by her superior, who cannot possibly intend to marry her and it is madness in all women to let secret love kindle within them, which, if unreturned and unknown, must devour the life that feeds it; and, if discovered and responded to, must lead, ignis-fatuus-like, into miry wilds, whence there is no extrication.
