Assignment 12

I thought that these chapters were crazy, but a very pivotal part in the story. I was not sure of how Jane felt after the last chapter, but I was very surprised to see that she forgave him so easily! I find so weird how Jane has established herself as this woman who didn't take anything from anyone, and wasn't afraid to say how she felt. However, it seems to me that although early on she established herself as this woman that thinks that you should not always forgive, she has done that consistently in recent chapters. This definitely reminds me of Taming of the Shrew because of the same way Katherine had her ways of dealing with people. The same exact way she carried herself throughout the story has changed since she met Rochester. I think that the attitude and the way she sort of fought back with her and Mr. Brocklehurst has somewhat disappeared. It seems as though Rochester is an exception in her book. I was actually sort of surprised to see her leave rather than go with him. Rochester seemed to show how much he loves Jane by putting everything out on the table about his wife and why he married her. I think that although Jane may have forgiven him, she may have left because Rochester could still have secrets. In addition, I thought the most interesting part came when she assumed a pseudonym but changing her last name. However despite doing that, I think that because of that and the way she left, nothing good can come from this. I think that the story is about to get a lot more interesting.
