Document Summary

Lecture 8: jane eyre: rochester is kind of a shady character; we never really know if he is telling the truth. He married a woman just for her looks, etc: nothing at thornfield hall is what it seems to be, rochesters are an old family, their buildings reflect this. Their main floor is modernly furnished but the upper floors have older furniture, demonstrating their connection to the past. Made a fortune in madeira in trading, sent a letter to jane at age 16 stating that he wanted to adopt her and share his fortune with her but mrs. reed upon receiving the letter kept it from. Jane and told john rivers that jane was dead. Rosamund is in love with st. john, her father runs the factory in morton and is rich as a result, he endows the local charity school.
