Adele isnt really his daughter but hes raising her to make sure she grows up properly and her mother left her. Jane feels that she wants to be there for him whenever he needed her.

Quote:

"He then said that she was the daughter of a french opera-dancer, Celine Verens, towards whom he had once cherished what he called a grande passion. This passion Celine had professed to return with even superior ardour. He thought himself her idol; ugly as he was: he believed, as he said, that she preffered his 'taille d'athlete to the elegance of the Apollo Belviere" (Bronte 120).

Reaction:

Personally I loved this section of the book because theres love involved, I strongly feel that they will fall deeply in love because of the fact that they shared past experiences and to him it was love at first sight, even though she didnt feel the same way she is developing feelings for him because she found out more about him and she saved his life. Not to mention they shared a night of sins. I think they;re something they been looking for. Life is becoming so much better for Jane and hopefully she and Mr. Rochester will become a couple. My only concern is how Adele will take it?, Does Adele know that he isn't her father? , and Who made the fire appear in Mr. Rochester's room ?
