a beautiful book. it shows that we all as people have flaws, and that there will always be someone out there, no matter how long and how far, who will love us. i get that many people don’t like edward rochester, but you’re not supposed to like how he treated bertha. you’re supposed to see how jane holds her ground as an independent women and leaves him - giving them both the space they need. the first and second half of their relationship (separated by when she leaves) are very important in their contrast and seeing how they improve upon themselves and their feelings for one another - especially the second wedding. as opposed to being anxious and uncomfortable during the first wedding, mr rochester takes it slow and easy alongside jane. they don’t even have any guests when they marry in their everyday clothes, just the two of them in their own world. it shows that someone will always love you… despite your faults. Jane is also a beautifully complex character, that deserves a ton of appreciation.
