She seems to have made a decent life for herself outside of Thornfield, I hate to hear what happened with her uncle, but glad to know she has made friends.
I find it hilarious that St. John was talking about her, to her!
Lmao.
Her return to Mr. Rochester was a very sweet gesture, he seemed to be a very lovely man now.
I can truly tell she loves him.
And they live, and love happily ever after.....
The end.

WHAT A JERK!!
I can not, under any circumstances believe that he had his WIFE hidden up there all along!
No wonder Grace makes more money than everyone else, she's caring for his deranged, disgusting WIFE!
Jesus Christ, I would have bludgeoned him to death with my bed pan!!!
For the love of all things Holy in this world, what kind of people do that!?
I'm proud of Jane for leaving Thornfield and Rochester behind, it is in her best interest, she's right, she will never be more than a mistress to him.
Heck, I wouldn't have even forgiven him!

A possible wedding?
It angers me to know of the fire.
I question too why Mr. Rochester never called out the wretch. And then to find out that she makes more money than the rest of the household? Unbelievable.
And that Mr. Mason character, he seemed off. But after what Grace did to him...sheesh.
But I see her aunt has changed very little.
Pity to hear of John, serves him right.
But her aunt dying slightly saddened me, for I know she was Jane's family.
BUT OMG!!!!!!!!
JANE AND ROCHESTER ARE GETTING MARRIED!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
I nearly fainted reading that!
It's so freaking CUTE!

Meeting Thornfield Hall...
It truly saddens me to know Ms. Temple left the school.
Although good things came from it, Jane was so ecstatic to see Bessie, and I envision her son being a beautiful bouncing kiddo.
Her new employer Mr. Rochester seems like a real hunk, as well as a mysterious, abrupt butthead. He shouldn't be so ill towards Jane.
And that little girl omgsh.
I totally want to kidnap that spawn and bring her to my house.
I wonder what happens between Mr. Rochester and Jane.....

So this is how it begins?
Oh my goodness. I can't believe how they treat her. Her aunt is such an evil person, she could see that Jane was scared yet she kept her locked in that room, and then felt no remorse for leaving her there and making her have a fit.
John is such a tyrant, I know I could not have taken being abused that way, I'd have hit him right back, worse than he hit me. The girls, Eliza and Georgiana are just as terrible. Standing there watching him hit her and they just laugh like she's a stray dog.
Bessie is the only nursemaid that seems tolerable. The other seems like a wretched old hag. But the doctor, what a lovely man. He listens to her and helps her to escape.
Although, in that escape comes in an added foe, that evil old butthead mr. Brocklehurst. Had I been Jane I'd have hit him in the head with a walking stick. Stuck up old brood. And his family is no better.
The school seems to me a place of hope for Jane, she has acquired a friend, and the teachers seem to be quite gay. Darling Ms. Temple is truly a wonderful person, I do believe she can help Jane.

Jane Eyre Essay
“In some works of literature, a character who appears briefly, or does not appear at all, is a significant presence. Choose a novel or play of literary merit and write an essay in which you show how such a character functions in the work. You may wish to discuss how the character affects action, theme, or the development of other characters. Avoid plot summary.”
The entire back bone behind the story is the fact that Mr. Rochester has a hidden wife locked away in a room, guarded and cared for by the strange Ms. Poole.
This is the case because, had the wife been capable of caring for Mr. Rochester’s ward, when Jane decided to spread her wings and escape the compound that was Lowood Institution. For, when Jane sent post to make an advertisement out, Mrs. Fairfax answered for a governess for the ward in Rochester’s’ care. We know, from reading of older days, that when the woman of the house is in good health, the children are well cared for and usually attend a school if they are well enough off.
Once Jane arrives at the Hall, she is introduced to a Ms. Grace Poole, a very secretive and stand-offish woman who immediately struck Jane as a bizarre being. Immediately amongst Mr. Rochester’s arrival and a week or so past, a mysterious fire was set in Mr. Rochester’s apartment whilst he is asleep, a bizarre laugh roused Jane from her sleep and she rushed to his aide. After awakening him, she states her assumptions that Grace was involved and he leaves her in his apartment and ascends the stairs into the third floor of the mansion. Shortly after his departure, he returns and informs Jane she has nothing to worry about and to retire to her apartment.
Then whilst a party is occurring at Thornfield, a Mr. Mason is brutally attacked during the night, waking everyone from their sleep. Mr. Rochester runs to the aide of the offended and then quickly returns to the guests to bid them back to their apartments. After all was still, and he knew all were asleep, he pardoned Jane to go with him to the third floor and aide him. She dutifully followed him, where she soon saw the offended bleeding profusely. Mr. Rochester asks her whilst cleaning the man up, if she would stay with this brutalized man while he got a surgeon. After he is cared for by the surgeon and sent off, month or two went by and Jane finally reveals her love to Mr. Rochester and he proposes. During the wedding we learn of the wife, and we learn that she had been behind all of the happenings at Thornfield. She had attacked her brother, Mr. Mason, and had attempted murder against Mr. Rochester because she was mentally ill.
Behind all things that occurred during the course of Jane’s stay at Thornfield, and even after, were because of the wife. Had she been healthy, Jane would not have been invited there, her and Rochester would not have had those trials and fallen in love, and they would not have been married after her death.
