- The constant change of mind of Jane (when it comes to her feelings to Rochester) - “I do, I do, I do” (want to leave) first cold, then hesitant, then cold, then returns to him but only to say goodbye and leaves in the end. (p2. S.56 “Law and principles…”) - Torn between the norms and her feelings, she wants to be with him but the bigamy is ill seen in the society. (And she does not want to be his mistress) - A classical struggle between the superego and the Id. - She was all by herself back with Mrs. Reed, only trusting herself and God, now she have made the mistake to trust Rochester and has been “betrayed”. - Love is insanity (p2s55 - I will hold the principles I received by me when I was sane…”) It goes against everything she has taught herself. The marriage/relationship restrains her just like her relationship to Mrs. Reed restrained her - She is however very insane(read: in love) (p2s60) o The insane woman in the attic is a symbol of her own insanity/the love, which is locked up and hidden away safely.
- Rochester is not strong as would be expected (given the time) - almost on his bleeding knees begging for forgiveness. - o Normally she should be like: “yes master, of course! I obey!” o But she is “It would be to obey you”, which she does not wish - His pathetic, begs for her love, throws himself on the sofa like a child - But also he has a more primal side, “…for this voice was the pant of a lion rising” - Egoism dictates how he live his life - “”Just marry me cause no one knows the cracker in the attic is my wife; nobody’s going to know”” - He gives up in the end… does not keep on fighting
