Woman want what they can't have. Therefore if one makes them self unattainable then a lot more interest will accumulate. Rochester played it like a flute and of course, once again, the hard to get ploy worked again (this wouldn't be the first time I've heard of such an instance, its the hidden SECRET). I'm incredibly disappointed that such monumental information could be revealed in such a nonchalant way. (Men should learn for themselves!)
I can't imagine how happy Jane must be after her greatest dream comes true. Such a conversion could be compared to a person isolated for the first 20 years of her life in a small dark room, then being allowed to roam the world and experience the miracles of life first hand. This thought is reminiscent of transcendentalism and Emerson's ideas of preserving innocence in order to appreciate things to the fullest.
"If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and stare." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Jane finally saw the stars. (I'm happy for her.)

Okay. You quote Emerson. Expect many brownie points. I'm way behind on responding to these posts, so I'll await your reactions to events yet to unfold.
I do want to mention, however, how cool it is that you use an analogy entailing a woman shut in a small room for a lot of years. Pretty prescient in terms of what we now know about Bertha!
