Assignment 5

I liked these chapters because it was both humorous and weird. I think that Mr. Rochester for me is a big question at a romantic hero. It seems like is very difficult character to describe because of his actions throughout various chapters. He does not seem very romantic in them to me, just a little compassionate, but he also seems aggressive. I think that he does appear to like Jane, but at the same time their relationship is very awkward. For example, when he was drunk and telling her that their relationship to him is not as a servant. Plus I think that it is even more difficult to call romantic because when he asked her if she thought he was handsome. She said no on the spot and that seemed to me as though she had her mind already made up. Their relationship seems a lot to me like Pertruchio and Katherine's. However, I think that although she may fear for his safety, I can't seem to understand why she would start to have feelings for him. I think I like the book now more so when I first started reading it. I think I have gotten used to the numerous use of detail in her writing. I thought it was interesting because she didn't seem to use a lot of detail in the chapters, except for when she is talking about Rochester's time away. I think that Jane may have grown more affectionate towards Adele because of what Rochester told her about her mother Celine. I think that she feels as though she could be somewhat like a mother figure to her.
