saved

Alright, I'm a little behind some of these other posts, but its all good.
One thing that really bothered me is in the chapters before she gets picked up by the Rivers, all she does is complain about her situation which is a 100% her fault. It wouldn't bother me so much if she was kicked out or something, but after leaving voluntarily, and acctually denying someone else of happiness and then complaining about it...I'm cold, I'm hungry, I'm so lonely, etc. I believe she should have stayed with Rochester. First of all, the book would have ended 200 pages earlier. Second, she broke the immortal law of true love. And finally she had nothing to lose, she might have lost her character, but she loses it anyways after being outside for only two days by herself. She becomes a beggar and beseeches herself upon whomever she thinks will listen. For the first time in her life she is truly independent, and after mearly two days she almost dies. I thought Jane was supposed to be a strong, headstrong woman, but really, reflecting on past passages, there has always been someone there holding her hand. Also, after she almost dies, but is luckily saved by the Rivers, she recovers, and then, her first time downstairs she calls out Hannah, Who took care of and nursed her back to health. Jane had no right to accuse Hannah of anything, I think that Jane thinks herself better that hannah because hannah is a servant. And it is only because Jane knows this that she picks up enough courage to knock on the door.

The Rivers Family is very interesting, the twins are better looking versions of Jane, and St. John is almost like the male version of Jane. I think Bronte uses the twins to show how Jane is her own person, they go off to be governesses, which jane just was, and aren't mentioned again. Bronte makes the twins and Jane so similar to show how different the choices Jane makes are, how "individual" she is. Also, I don't think jane will last very long at her post of schoolteacher, she said yes mostly to repay St. John for his hospitality. But it is not what she wants, being a schoolteacher is too normal, too conforming for Jane. I can't understand why Jane doesn't just accept some things and be content with her life. Maybe this book wouldn't be as interesting, maybe some women are just unhappy to the finish. I predict that this book will end with Jane's death, there will be no happily ever after, and Jane will make sure of that.
