Interesting phrases/extracts



'It was my master, Edward Fairfax Rochester, and no other.' even though she calls him master does it mean that she still feels inferior? For once in her life she could be called superior, but she doesn't feel it, not really.



' "I am my own mistress" ' she is free of being dependant.

' "Ah! But Jane I want a wife" ' ... ' "Her I love best, Jane" ' contrast with Rivers (SJ) Jane loves Rochester and he wants to marry Jane.

Yes, she is free of dependence but does she long for it? You raise a good question.

Also, yes, clear connection with ch 1 in terms of place.
