This last chapter stured up my emotions. When i initially read that Jane would leave and work in Ireland away from Thornfield it really upset me. There was to many unanswered questions for her to suddinly leave and never see Mr. Rochester again. The part that was most upsetting was when they bid goodbye to each other and Mr. Rochester asked Jane how to do it. In a way the whole seen was sympathetic and romantic at the same time. However it was mostly sad. Then the tone changed and suddenly i became satisfied with how the novel was unfolding. It does prove my previous prediction wrong that they would never be together. The remaining chapters will hold the truths and i believe Mr. Rochester is planning something big. I can understand were Jane became hesitant and immediately started to question Mr. Rochester. He completely switched directions with his life plans. This could have easily surprised Jane and confused her on what Rochester really wanted with his life. I'm still super anctious to find out more about Mr. Mason and Grace Poole. Plus how Rochester is going to break the news to the elegant Ms. Ingram and if he folds under the pressure and criticism of the upper class.

Good post, Carl. It was fun to read this after your more recent ones (which I read first). It's been interesting watching you refine your reactions to these characters and their actions.
