Not What We Thought
So I’m kind of disappointed Grace Poole isn’t all she was made out to be. She was such a dingy character but now we know she herself must have been going insane taking care of such a crazy woman. I was at first confused when we saw Rochester’s wife and Grace in the small room. When I realized there were two people I was shocked. Grace Poole…still somewhat unidentified is kept at the home not only to keep a secret from the rest of the world but also to treat and care for Rochester’s insane wife! Is there some deeper connection the author is not telling us yet!? This mystery gets long!

I'm surprised your disappointment that Grace turns out to be an 'ordinary' servant wasn't offset by the description of Bertha (or even by the revelation of her existence!). The question now, of course, is what should Jane do?
grace poole fails... isn't she supposed to keep that phsyco wife locked up? somehow she gets out to try to burn Rochester and to rip up jane's veil. i'm pretty sure that grace poole's gotta be hiding something, herself...
