Josh's Analysis Through Chapter 33
I was indeed right with my assumption that Jane was cousins with the very same people whose doorstep she landed on. How coincidental!! Anyways, although Rochester was a deceitful bigamist, I think that one of the main reasons that Jane was reluctant to return to Rochester, even after his confession of his "capital error" was still the difference in class. Despite the fact that Jane still loved Rochester, I think that she would inevitably feel inferior, and ultimately subservient, due to the difference in class. Now, however, if she does decide to return to Rochester, her assets will be akin to his, resulting in a more equitable relationship. I wish that St. John would have given Jane a synopsis of how Rochester was living. He simply dismisses the matter as unimportant. I assume that he is already courting another lady. The simple way that Jane eagerly asked St. John about Rochester, along with her sensual dreams, are indicative of the fact that Jane is still deeply in love with Rochester. I find it very magnanimous that Jane equally distributes the money amongst the cousins.

So...I was trying to throw you off the track, but clearly you're a very astute reader--not just with the prediction regarding Jane's uncle, but here with your speculation regarding Rochester.
Bronte would appreciate having you as a reader, I think.
