The Cruelness of the Human Species- Chapter 28

After Jane had left Mr. Rochester, because she found out about his first wife, she had no money, no food, and no where to go.  She eventually wandered to a house and a lady answered the door., and a morsel o

"'Where do you come from?' 'I am a stranger.'...'I want a night's shelter in an out-house or anywhere, and a morsel of bread to eat.' 'I'll give you a piece of bread,'... 'but we can't take in a vagrant to lodge... 'But where shall I go if you drive me away? What shall I do?'... Here is a penny; now go-'... Don't shut the door:-oh don't, for God's sake!'  'I must; the rain is driving in-'" Chapter 28.

This qoute shows just how cruel and unjust one human being can be to another.

The End

Jane and Mr. Rochester are finally reunited. Mr. Rochester believes that Jane should have chosen to stay with St. John instead of choosing to be with him. He feels as though he does not deserve her because he is now blind and crippled. I believe that everyone deserves to be loved including those who do not think they should because of their handicaps. Jane loves Mr. Rochester despite his physical disabilities. Ironically, in spite of Mr. Rochester's indifference towards children, the two lovers have a son. Although the ending of the book is not a "perfect" one, the couple will live on in happiness with one another.

Rochester and Jane Chapter 36

Altough Jane is has not worked for Rochester in over a year, and since then has aquired a large some of money, why does she still refer him "master"?

Karma

Karma is the basic belief that, if you do good, then good will come of it and to you, and vice versa.  I believe that Jane is a victim of this belief: She has never done something bad to a person and she has always strived to do good when she can.  Janes many years of commiting selfless act have finally payed off; she is rich!  She has now inherited the money of her dead uncle, which totals out at 20,000 pounds.  Could this massive amount of money corrupt Janes view of things? or possibly turn her friends against her?

No Perfect Endings

I think that Charlotte Bronte displays that there are no perfect endings in reality. However, imperfections are what make life real. Nothing is ever perfect. Nothing ever completely moves in our favor. Some might say that it would have been better if Mr. Rochester had not lost his left hand or became blind because of the fire. Some might also say that it would have been better if Thornfield had not been burned down. Mr. Rochester and Jane could have lived 'happily ever after' in Thornfield and end their love story where it began. However, this is not what happened in the book. The best ending for anyone despite all of the imperfections is to finally be with the one they love and spend the rest of their life with that person. That in itself is a perfect ending. I believe that in the end, this will be true of Jane and Mr. Rochester.

St. john and Jane chapter 34

In chapter 34, again, we see as the readers, the hold St. John still has on Jane. She cannot bear to be alienated from him although he "pushes" her away every time she attempts to befreind and connect once more with him. St. John on the other hand has other things on his mind, he has a trip to India to prepare for, and Jane to marry. He is offended by Jane when she indirectly declines his offer of marriage by saying, "If I were to marry, you would kill me. You are killing me now" (420) Although Jane has grown to depend greatly on St. John she cannot bring herself to marry him, thus she remembers Rochester and decides to find out what has become of him before Jane makes her final decision.
