You got what you wished for Jane.

"No, sir; I am an independent woman now." (442)

Now, that Jane is independent she seems to be more enthusiastic about life. She definitely has learn from the consequences of her actions. She learns that when she wants to make a decision, not only does she have to think with her head but she has to follow her heart too. Going away from her cousins’ house and listening to the voice of Mr. Rochester is clearly to us that she was thinking with her heart and not with her head. And because of this action she is now happily married with Mr. Rochester. Nevertheless, now that she’s independent she doesn’t have to be begging for food like she was at a point in her life. She doesn’t have to live in someone else’s house, and depend on someone else’s money. Jane has her own school and a small apartment, but even though Jane is independent; she has now found happiness. She has everything she has wished for since she was a little girl: she has a family of her own, money, love and happiness. Jane has gone through so much through out her life. She overcame the big obstacles that life put in front of her. Throughout her life there has been many closed doors, but that wasn’t an issue for Jane; she opened those closed doors until she found what she wanted. And Jane found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and that was her happiness along with Edward Rochester. And Jane shows us her enthusiasm by telling us all, the readers this; “Reader, I married him.” (457)

  1. I am also glad to see that Jane has found everything she has always needed in life. Though, there is one thing that sticks out to me. Is it some sort of coincidence that Jane comes across this money, then all of a sudden gets a family and realizes her true love? Could there possibly be some underlying sign that money really does bring happiness? I would be interested in knowing what you think Bronte is trying to tell us by this.

  2. I definitely agree with you. Jane Eyre does develop into an independent woman throughout the novel. She finds a job which provides her with enough money to sustain herself but, does she ever become independent of Mr. Rochester? Does she eventually learn to be happy without him? Or does she always feel like he is essential in her life? I am very curious to know what you think about this.

  3. Its true, Jane goes through many obstacles throughout her life and in the end she finally finds the happiness she deserves. I also agree with what you wrote about her independence. Once Jane is independent she seems to be happier about life. And this independence comes about when she starts following her heart. For the first time she thinks about herself and not just about others. I also like how you use examples in your blog and show that even though Jane is independent she's found happiness. I thing you could add to your blog is how did Jane become independent. Write about what events led her to this change. Also, how did her independence lead her to happiness with Mr. Rochester. You give us an example but with more examples you could delve into this idea more.
