Forth Roar: JANE EYRE

Jane Eyre: Charlotte Bronte

(169- 303)

      As we look into the more about Jane Eyre she is very helpful and self-determined but, after her escalating romance with Mr. Rochester she becomes more open to others and to herself so she goes to get her fortune read in the library. The gypsy women seemed to really catch Jane's attention because Jane enters in her trace and it seemed like the Gypsy knew a lot about Jane. The Gypsy told her that jane is very close to happiness, she also told Jane that Rochester was not as rich as it may seem. But the funny thing about this gypsy is that her voice starts to deepen and in reality the Gypsy was Mr. Rochester in disguise. Jane gets mad, and well the real Gypsy arrived he looked kind of frightened because he was afraid that this might have a chance to ruin things for the future with Jane before things even erupt.

     That same night Jane was scared because someone had a cry for help, but Mr. Rochester said that it was just a servant who had a nightmare. After that everyone returns to there bed, but Mr. Rochester went to Jane's room and asked her if he can use her help and ask her if she is afraid of blood. He asked her this because Mr. Mason was stabbed in the arm and he asked her to watch over Mr. Mason while he gets help. He asked Mr. Mason and Jane not to talk to each other so all they do is stare at each other. After Mr. Rochester gets help he sends Jane to go get a potion downstairs and then gives it to him. After that Jane and Mr. Rochester have a little chat about what happened. He tells Jane about him marrying Blanche and if she will be his salvation but, before she could answer it he ran of.

     Jane seems to be having a lot of dreams about children she believes that having dreams about children is an Omen. She discover that her cousin John Reed has commiteed suicide, her aunt Mrs. Reed had suffered from a stroke, Eliza and Georgiana become nuns. Jane tries to be friends with Mrs. Reed knowing that she is about to die, that cynical aunt wont let them. At midnight Mrs. Reed ends up dieing in her sleep.

    Jane and Mr. Rochester have finally talked about this new impediment they have come across and Mr. Rochester agrees to marry Blanche, but then jane opens up to him and tells him she has an undying love for Mr. Rochester, and on the stop he surprises her and asked her to marry him. She accepts and then he kisses her. When they star preparing for the wedding things dont go as planed. Mrs. Fairfax does not support the wedding. Jane feels unsettled and scared because she looks at this as a fairy tale and she isnt ready for all this. Mr. Rochester tells her that she can have anything she wants he will dress her jewels. She has the pre wedding jitters and she writes to her uncle John Eyre and asked him to give her some of the inheritance money so that she can put it towards the wedding and feel less uncomfortable.

"All day yesterday I was very busy, and very happy in my ceaseless bustle; for I am not, as you seem to think, troubled by any haunting fears about the new sphere, etc cetera: I think it a glorious thing to have the hope of living with you, because I love you" ( Bronte  239).

As I reading this part of the book I was stunned of how much Mr. Rochester is interested in Jane. He disguised himself in Gypsy clothing to tell her future funny thing this is he is going to be in her future as  a husband. I think he was just going to marry Blanche just to make Jane jealous and finally confess because breaking up with Blanche was not very hard for him to do at all he just continued on with it and immediately started planing for the wedding. Jane feels like he's drowning her in gifts and she feels uncomfortable because of that because she would want to help him out now.
