Ch. 24
The engagement period.- Long engagement because Jane doesn't want to rush into it like Rochester does. Doesn't want wedding to seem like a rash move- shows she can sometimes be more ruled by her head than her heart.
- Jane says, "I like rudeness a great deal better than flattery" (p.261) It's what she has always been used to, and is probably why she was so drawn to Rochester- something familiar.
- Mr Rochester says, "I feigned courtship of Miss Ingram, because I wished to render you as madly in love with me as I was with you, and I knew jealousy would be the best ally." (p.261) Is this a cover up or is it the truth?

A good question about R. What do you think? Your quote from J about preferring rudeness is well chosen.
I think thst it's probably the truth- but not as simple as it sounds, I think he makes himself appear more noble than he actually is.
