More of... Jane Eyre

Despite my last two reviews of this book
I must say that I'm finally begining to enjoy this book.
I can see why this was such a hit with readers at that time.
I guess you really have to put yourself in the position of the characters
and that isn't possible without getting well into the book.
Romances don't appeal to me that much
but I can say that this is kind of like a different type of novel.
It's very hard to describe.
But once you get into the book
it's easy to understand what I'm talking about
I'm up to chapter 25 right now
and recently in the story
Rochester is preparting to get married to Blanche.
And Jane wonders how her emotions will react when she sees him with this other woman.
Jane swears that she has never loved a man like this.

In the next chapter, while they are both alone
they profess their love for one another.
Rochester even proposes to Jane.
He says that God approves this marriage so it doesnt matter what the rest of the world thinks.
While they are kissing under a tree
Jane notices Mrs. Fairfax watching them.

Jane is still baffled by the fact that this marriage is taking place despite their age and social differences.
