Ch. 14

The second evening with Mr Rochester.


  • We notice now that Rochester actually enjoys Jane's company, "...I ought to be at liberty to attend to my own pleasure. Miss Eyre, draw your chair a little farther forward..." (p.131) He talks very roughly to her, ie. he isn't polite and asks blunt questions.

  • Jane doesn't yet enjoy his company, but it is the most amusement she has had for a while. Chapter is entirely focused upon Rochester, rather like Jane is, because having her as narrator means we have to follow her actions and thoughts.
