Chapter 22-24
October 15th 2012
Period 4
Summary: Jane starts off in Gateshead but then hears that Mr. Rochester is going to London to marry Blanche. Jane heads to Thornfield and is greeted by Mr. Rochester. Then Mr. Rochester is talking to Jane about marrying Blanche, but then Jane confesses her love to Rochester and he proposes to her. They then kiss and are engaged. Mrs. Fairfax is not fond of this, and when Mr. Rochester calls Jane Mrs. Rochester she gets quite uncomfortable.
Quotation: “I am strangely glad to get back again to you; and wherever you are is my home—my only home.” -Jane
Quotation Significance: Jane expresses in this quote about how much she truly cares about Mr. Rochester. She says that she feels at home when she is with him.
Reflection: These three chapters have a very big event in it that is very surprising. I would never have expected that Mr. Rochester was using his fake love for Blanche to make Jane jealous. I do believe at some point that he really did love Blanche, but when Jane was gone he realized that he really missed her and wanted to be with her. I think it is ironic that right after they get engaged that there is a storm and that a lightning bolt splits the tree that they kissed under. This just sounds like a bad omen to me and it seems that this wasn't supposed to be. I feel bad for Blanche that she was led on for that long. She did not deserve that.
Discussion Question: How is Blanche going to find out about the engagement, and what is going to be her reaction?
