Let Go

"One instant, Jane. Give one glance to my horrible life when you are gone. All happiness will be torn away with you. What then is left? For a wife I have but the maniac upstairs: as well might you refer me to some corpse in yonder churchyard. What shall I do, Jane? Where turn for a companion, and for some hope?"(321)

At this point Jane has found out the Mr. Rochester is married to Bertha Mason. She doesn't know what to do. Mr. Rochester had shown that he loved her and was willing to get married with Jane. But, could all of what he said have been a lie. If he knew that he was already married why would he want to hurt Jane. She would have found out about this sooner or later. Mr. Rochester is saying that if Jane walks out of his life now then he will be miserable. If his intentions weren't to hurt Jane, why would he have done this? What Mr. Rochester did was a horrible thing. He could have told Jane that he really did love her but he was already married to someone he didn't even like, it was an arranged marriage.
Now Jane is confused as to what she should do. Should she escape and run from all her troubles? Should she forgive Mr. Rochester? It is clear that Jane fell in love with Mr. Rochester. But, Jane has no one in her life. Mr. Rochester was the only person she had. She may consider herself a fool for falling in love. Now, I think that she won't ever fall in love again because she may be scared that something like this could happen again. Even though it may be hard to forget about Mr. Rochester, the right thing could be to let go.

  1. You do a good job of thinking through all the angles of Jane's feelings and situation.

    I'm not sure your link goes where you want it to.
