Chapter 25-26
Period 4
Summary: In the first chapter Rochester leaves for the evening the night before the wedding and Jane also gets her wedding dress. Under the wedding dress was her wedding present from Rochester which was a veil. Jane also has very weird dreams where Grace Poole comes and rips her veil in half. In the second chapter, the wedding is stopped because they find out out Rochester has a second wife from Jamaica. He has her hidden under the care of Grace Poole in a hidden door.
Quotation: "In the deep shade, at the farther end of the room, a figure ran backwards and forwards. What it was, whether beast or human being, one could not, at first sight tell: it grovelled, seemingly, on all fours; it snatched and growled like some strange wild animal: but it was covered with clothing, and a quantity of dark, grizzled hair, wild as a mane, hid its head and face."
Quotation Significance: This quote talks about Bertha Mason who is trapped in the hidden room. It shows how frustrated and mad Bertha is. It also shows that she was not treated well either,
Reflection: These last chapters of the book have been full of very surprising events. The whole book explains Mr. Rochester as a very nice guy that is trying to take care of Jane. I knew something bad was going to happen when that tree was snapped into two after they proposed. I feel very bad for Jane because now she doesn't have anyone else, and right after she trusted him, he turned on her. Mr. Rochester is a very mean guy now that I have learned. To keep a girl locked up with Grace Poole is so mean, and irresponsible. The least he could do is divorce her before marrying Jane.
Discussion Question: What will Jane do in Thornfield now that she has no one?
