Happiness

Jane:"He kissed me repeatedly. When I looked up, on leaving his arms, there stood the widow, pale, grave, and amazed. I only smiled at her, and ran upstairs. 'Explanation will do for another time,' thought I. Still, when I reached my chamber, I felt a pang at the idea she should even temporarily misconstrue what she had seen. But joy soon effaced every other feeling;" (260)

From this quote I can tell that Jane is finally happy. She finally got what she wanted: to find love. Although she is very happy about Mr. Rochester proposing to her, not only did she find love with a man, but she also found the kind of love that makes her feel wanted. No one showed her love when she was a child, and now that she has found someone that loves her, it is only understandable that she is really happy. Every child deserves to be loved, but instead, Jane was treated with such cruelty by her aunt.
I'm kind of happy for Jane because I think she deserves to be happy with the one she loves after a life of bad treatment by others. It seems as if she doesn't care about anything else because she is happy where she's at. This isn't going to help her forget about her past, but instead deal with it. I'm really hoping that everything between her and Mr. Rochester work out.

Happiness is one of the things Jane never had as a child. Here is a picture of a happy child:
