Ch. 26

The wedding that never happened.

  • This is also the ch. when Jane discovers Rochester is already married, and to a mad woman she thought was Grace Poole in the attic. So another instance when Jane has a bad ending to a happy beginning.

  • The reader finally gets some answers on who set the fire on Rochester's bed, and who attacked Mr Mason.

  • We leave Jane as depressed as she has ever been. We are completely clueless as to whether or not there will ever be a happy ending.

Do we care about her though? Has Bronte deliberately established a sense of exasperation in the reader? If so, why? If she hasn't then has the author let things slip? Too melodramtaic?
