Ch.13

Dinner with Mr Rochester

• This is when we learn of the abrupt, blunt, and seemingly rude nature of Rochester. Jane responds by being more outspoken than a woman was thought to be in that period. Basically, she is herself with him.

• It is mostly dialogue throughout the chapter, which suggests that Jane isn't thinking anything contrary to what she is saying to Rochester- feels she can be honest with him, or perhaps sees she has nothing to hide, or still remembers being called a liar from childhood.

• Dialogue also means we are left to form our own opinions about Rochester rather than using Jane's, which means we are making judgements of Rochester as Jane would have done, which gets us more involved in the story.
