The love she lost

The whole consciousness of my life lorn, my love lost, my hope quenched, my faith death-struck, swayed full and mighty above in one sullen mass. (301)

In this part of the novel, Jane Eyre is depressed because she found out about Mr.Rochester's old marriage. She is sad and very confused due to the fact that she still loves him and Mr.Rochester loves her. But she cannot love him, he's already married, but her heart doesn't understand that. She doesn't want to be viewed as Mr.Rochester's second wife. It will change her reputation and although she'll be happy with him she would be viewed differently from everybody else. She never thought that would happen to her in mass, the moment her life was suppose to change for good just back fired on her and became the moment where she lost her love, Mr.Rochester. I think that she's making a good decision here because she can't change her reputation for bad, especially the way her life has been going. Although she is sad her heart will recover and it will grow stronger. But until then, she has to live her life and try to recover from this great loss.

Here's a link that will take you to a picture of a heart that is broken. In this picture, I quickly saw the emotion and feeling of the heart broken.

Cassandra, a classmate of mine talks about forgiving Mr.Rochester. This relates to my blog because it also talks about how Jane felt in this situation.
