Jane Eyre and Mr Rochester Relationship

How does Charlotte Bronte explore Jane and Mr Rochester’s Relationship? (c)

Jane Eyre was written by the English poet and novelist Charlotte Bronte whose works proved to underestimate society’s state of affairs and discriminate inequality. Such examples where only successful whilst publishing her books where the characters were not applicable or contemplated to anybody in the Victorian era with ideas that often fell out of the fraternity that people assisted in which is why her book Jane Eyre is so symbolic.

The level of significance this handshake proves in this simple gesture both Mr. Rochester and Jane a compatible sense of respect, equality and balance between themselves and also outlines how poorly the gender balance is doing and for Mr. Rochester to shake hands with Jane who appears less supercilious then him opens up another perspective.

Likewise with Jane and Mr Rochester’s other most notable moment with Jane was when she rescues him from the disastrous fire. Jane saves him as she wakes up to the smell of smoke but it’s important that it was Jane who came to his rescue and nobody else. The fact she arises from her slumber to the treacherous smell of burning shows that Jane has a brilliant sense of danger.
