Take the Risk
I think that Mr. Rochester reciprocates the feelings that Jane has for him. Most of his actions have implications that he favors Jane. The problem with these two individuals is that neither one of them is willing to admit their feelings for each other. They are not relying on hints, but require to be one hundred percent sure that the other shares the same feelings. However, in a situation such as this, it takes one of the two individuals to take a risk, in spite of the fear of rejection. If neither one of them chooses to say anything, then they will always wonder what would have happened if they had told the other their true feelings. They will always wonder "what if?" What if they share the feelings I have for them? What if we are meant for each other? What if we became a couple? Then there are the other set of "what if?" questions which causes them to convince themselves not to take the risk. What if they reject me? What our relationship comes to ruin? What if I completely embarrass myself? What is life without taking risks? If you have the chance to tell the person you love your true feelings for them, take it. Making the choice is imperative. Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester have to make the choice. Take the risk or spend the rest of your life wondering what could have been.

Eliza has clearly described the troublesome contemplations that plague the minds of two people that secretly love each other. In order to overcome these frustrating thoughts you must dive headfirst into the unpredictable sea of love, which Mr. Rochester later does.
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't dive headfirst! He tricks Jane into admitting her feelings! He gets HER to say she cannot bear to leave him. Is this him being brave?
