Jane and Mr. Rochester now know that the love they have for one another is reciprocated. Jane wakes up happily and feels that everything is surreal. She feels that becoming Mr. Rochester's bride is like a fairy tale considering their differing social statuses. Is it possible for their relationship to survive under these circumstances? Can two individuals living in this time period, coming from different social classes get married? Jane's mother was disowned by her family for marrying a man of a lower social class. In their society, it was conventional for people to marry others that were of the same social strata. When a wealthy individual married someone poor, society would deduce that the latter was only getting married for the money.
I think that the chances of Jane and Mr. Ronchester marrying even though they will probably experiance some political contraversy are very high. I believe both of them are head strong and are not easily discouraged.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Eliza's statement of how Jane believes the marriage is too good to be true. All of the events that Jane has witnessed have influenced her thinking so much that she now believes someone such as her could not ever be married to a dignified man such as Mr. Rochester; it is simply an impossibility.
