Assignment 9

I thought that this chapter was somewhat exciting to an extent. It actually reminded me of the recent chapter when Jane was awoken by a mysterious laugh and she had to help Mr. Rochester. However, I thought that this chapter was kind of cool because it created a bit more mystery. It seems to build suspense through mystery in the story, because you never know what is going to happen. Especially all of the crazy people in Jane Eyre. I liked how one of the motifs came to play in the chapter, blood. I thought it was even cooler when she looked up at the picture Jesus Christ on the crucifix because it seemed to paint some weird irony. Mr. Mason has been stabbed in the arm, for unknown reasons and although it is different, the picture does depict a similar image. I think that this chapter also gave a clear image of Jane and Mr. Rochester's "strange love." In my opinion at this point in the story their relationship seems reminiscent to Heathcliff' and Cathy's later relationship. I hope it doesn't end up the same way as theirs but I am interested to see what happens from their and how it progresses, or if progresses.
