At the beginning of the novel, she wrote: She felt homeless and displaced, and her aunt and cousin were cruel to her, which alienated her from society and she could never feel at home. She desperately needs relatives and care. When she came to Thornfield to meet Rochester, she soon fell in love with him secretly. In Rochester's view, Jane is a very special girl, unlike ordinary Victorian women who pursue wealth and beauty, fame and status.

Although Rochester's confession and marriage proposal made Jane happy, she was also worried and worried. Because she has been longing for a free life, marriage means bondage and submission, which means that she is responsible for him and controlled by him. When Rochester spent a lot of money on silk and jewelry for her, she became more sensitive and felt like a slave loved by Sudan.

She said:? The more things he buys me, the more my face burns. I feel bored and feel inferior. ? She objected to Rochester calling her? Angels? I don't like him dressing her up as a doll. She said:? I am a thoughtful and emotional person. ? In order to remain independent, she decided to continue to be a tutor in Adel. All these clearly show that Jane has a strong sense of independence. However, after learning that Bertha exists, Jane? Although love could not bear to part with Rochester, she resolutely chose to leave.

On the wedding day, Rochester's crazy wife's brother appeared. Knowing that Rochester had married a new wife, he came out to intervene forcibly. This reminds Jane of the terrible laughter, the mysterious fire, and the stranger who tore the wedding dress? So many strange things have happened in Thornfield! She told herself that she must leave.

Leaving Thornfield was Jane's biggest decision. From Rochester, she found her longing.

After a long love, Thornfield is her first real home, and leaving here is like leaving herself. However, living with Rochester as his mistress means self-compromise, which is the last thing she wants to see. Even before she knew Bertha existed, she thought it was an adventure to marry Rochester. They are not equal at all. She was afraid that Rochester would treat her as a plaything. What's more, marrying someone taller than her will make her feel heavily in debt.

Jane clearly sees that her relationship with Rochester means the loss of self-esteem and his control over her. She thinks it's a moral mistake, and she can't accept doing such a thing. Although Thornfield is her only home, Rochester's proposal has given her happiness and a sense of belonging, but she knows that staying here means a kind of self-imprisonment. So when she was able to leave, she resolutely chose to leave.

After the Thornfield fire, Jane and Rochester got back together and found a happy home. After leaving Thornfield, Jane lived a simple life in Moreton, teaching a group of poor children. She is economically independent and plays an important role. She treats missionaries and saints? John's attitude also fully proves her independence.

When I got there, I found that Thornfield had been razed to the ground and Rochester had become disabled. He is blind and has no arms. He relies on her to walk and read, and Rochester's physical disability requires Jane to be his master. The fire destroyed Rochester's manor, making him blind and penniless in an instant. On the other hand, Jane inherited a large inheritance from her uncle at that time. Their economic status has been reversed.

She can give up her love and her existing poor and lonely life. However, she took the opposite action? I ended my hesitation between dignity and love and decided to marry him. Because only if she can be self-sufficient, she will marry Rochester. She said:? Between love and dignity, she just wants inner peace, a heart that is not overwhelmed by too many gifts. ? She doesn't want to be a master attached to him. Marriage can only be established under equal conditions.

Rochester's Perceptual Supreme View of Love

Rochester was born in a noble family, because he is not the eldest son and has no right to inherit property. His father? Not only do you want to keep the family property from being scattered, but you also want him to have property to maintain the family reputation? Together with his brother, he helped him find a companion Bertha who later went crazy? Mei Sen, before him? I married her before I knew what happened. . The short married life made Rochester see Bertha's character clearly and made him realize? I never loved her, I never respected her, I never even knew her? .

Rochester can't get the comfort of love from his wife, but he yearns for love in his heart, but his view of love still stays at the perceptual level. First of all, Rochester is married, is his wife crazy, and can he fulfill his marital obligations? Legally speaking, he is already the husband of a woman, so he can't form a family with other women. But rochester thinks he? There should be freedom to love and be loved? In his mind, love has been above moral law.

Secondly, in order to test Jane's inner thoughts, Rochester specially invited Miss Ingram and others to visit Thornfield Manor, and deliberately flattered Miss Ingram, creating the illusion that he seemed to propose to her, in order to make Jane jealous. He also pretended to be a gypsy, pretending to tell the fortune of unmarried women, and wanted to further peek into Jane's emotional world.

In fact, this practice has hurt at least two people, one is Miss Ingram and the other is Jane? Love. Rochester used his power, position and wealth to play the game of love and talked about love, but how cruel his behavior was. Say again, when with Jane? When the wedding plan of love was dashed, Rochester proposed to live in France together and dreamed of living with Jane? Love? Stay together? ,? Live a happy, safe and carefree life? ,? Grow old together? . Rochester painted a warm and beautiful picture for readers, only considering his own spiritual needs, but did not think of what consequences it would bring to others.

St. John's love view of rationality first

In sharp contrast with Rochester's love view of perceptual supremacy, St. John's love view of rational supremacy. In St. John's body, reason triumphs over emotion, and the spirit of serving the Lord suppresses the normal feelings of human beings, and even can be martyred with holy love.

The second embodiment is St. John's choice of partner. He admitted it himself? Madly in love with rosamond? Oliver. But at the same time? But realize soberly that she will not be his good wife, and that she is not the right partner for him? . For him, marriage is only a means and tool to realize his missionary ideal.

In daily life, St. John saw Jane? In love? Docile, diligent, selfless, loyal, loyal, brave, very elegant and brave? Same quality. St. John found that Jane's qualities were very suitable for being a missionary's wife and conducive to achieving his future religious goals, so he fell in love with their utilitarianism? Practical? Strong Jane? Love ordered her to study Hindustan with herself and tried to persuade her to be her spouse and assistant to go to India to realize her martyrdom. Obviously, St. John's love for reason is against humanity and morality. The third embodiment is St. John's attitude towards marriage. He asked Jane? Love to marry him will not give her the love she wants, but she hopes to have a real marriage relationship.
