Assignment 14

I am actually starting to become very curious as to what is going to happen next in the story, because it seems as if Charlotte Bronte is building up for something. However, at the same time, I am unfortunately thinking that nothing is going to happen. The definition of marsh is an area of under-lying, waterlogged land, difficult to cross and liable to flood. Due to all of the small motifs that we have spotted throughout the story, with names such as Gateshead, Thornfield, Grace Poole and Helen Burns, I cannot help but feel that Marsh End has something to do with these next couple of chapters. I think that it is going to be a neutral time in the book for her and because of that there may be very slow or no character development. On the other hand, this could be to throw the reader off and completely surprise the reader. I thought the most interesting thing I noticed throughout the chapters was Rosamond and St. John's relationship. I thought that it was important because the possible influence it could have had on Jane (nightmares or not...). My thoughts about these chapters and what would happen next were constantly changing, but the last chapter finally gave me my answer. I had a feeling that this whole name situation would come back to bite Jane. I just wonder what is going to happen if she gets caught and in addition to that, what is going to do about her Uncle's death? Considering how far we are in the book, these last few chapters are about to get very interesting.
