As the book progresses, I feel that Jane’s story gets more and more intriguing. I actually enjoy reading it now and her growth throughout this section of the book is impressive. She’s gone threw so many different scenes and stages so early on in her life which totally characterizes this story as a bildungsroman. I think this particular story is a really good example of this gothic form of writing because Jane has gotten so far and matured without anyone’s help, which kind of makes her growth more her own. I personally think the story got lot more interesting now that Jane has a thing for her boss Mr. Rochester. Its cute, she has her first crush and its natural for her to feel sad that he’ll be away at a party with lots of more mature beautiful girls. I find this normal since she is young, and looks up to him, all girls have a crush on an older, mature guy at some point. However, I do find it rather strange that Mr. Rochester might have feelings for Jane too, he’s older, and her boss, and I cant help but feel like that might even be a little perverse, this brought up by the fact that he asked her if he was handsome. I feel like this might indicate the beginning of a whole darker side of the novel and I’m excited to see if Jane acts on her feeling towards her boss and how it all turns out in the end.
