"Spread Solemn purple, burning with the light of red jewel and furnace flame at one point, on one hill peak, and extending hight and wide, soft and still softer over half heaven". This is just a quote i thought was very descriptive and appealing.

Grace Poole...WHAT!
who would have thought? so we were all right about Mr. Rochester and Jane getting together. Mr. Rochester was torturing her all along for this? what a horrible person. When Rochester finds the hug moth we again are introduced to the West Indies so obviously the author is trying to drop some hint about the West Indies which since i have already read i know that it has to do with Rochesters wife. In chapter 23 there is a lot of talk about the moon and how it rises and sets this is symbolism. It really bugs me how when Jane and Rochester are out sitting in the garden he is like " you'd forget me" because obviously he knows she likes him he is just trying to get a rise out of her. Through out all of chapter 24 we see how Jane is very giving and caring and how she just wants to live a simple life, that of which she can be independent. When she gives the beggars money is just one example that displays her nice qualities. She also keeps refusing all the fancy jewelry and clothes that Rochester tries to buy her and she is always thinking of others. I really like this quality in her. You can also kind of tell through out the chapter that Mrs. Fairfax knows something that Jane doesn't, she says things like "all is not gold that glitters". It sort of makes me mad that no one in the house tells Jane about what is going on. I mean if Mrs. Fairfax cares enough to make little comments like that then why doesn't she just tell her whats up. Rochester seems very controlling also, he like always wants it to be his way which to start is a bad sign that their marriage isn't going to go well. Ok and also the so called "dream" Jane had freaked me out. The whole thing was just weird and then how we come to find out that it was actually his WIFE, thats just strange and there is something way deeper going on in this story that we have yet to find out about.

And it's a good quote (especially that purple bit). The revelations that take place in this chapter are indeed surprising (and I'm glad you are now, in retrospect, recognizing some of the clues that preceded them, like the moth), but you still seem pretty miffed at Rochester. Does he still seem like a 'creeper"--even more of one? Or is there any reason to feel some sort of sympathy for him and his plans to 'ensnare' Jane?
