JE Reaction
While i was reading the latest section of JE, i found it very confusing. After Rochester changed his mind about marring Blanche Igrim and wanted to marry Jane, i found it very confusing why she was so repulsed when he offered to buy here all the gems she could handle and buy her the most beautiful dress. She really didn't want to have all of these luxuries. I just stared reading from the latest point and i don't know if i missed something but why does she not want to have all of this. It seemed to me like they were almost in a fight during some of the scene the next morning she woke up and had a conversation with Rochester. I found this very confusing.

I think it has to do with the way she grew up cale. She is not used to having wealth and grew up in Lowood where she didn't receive much. This is a great section though! I agree, who wouldn't take all the special stuff he was offering her?!
ReplyDeleteI agree that it has to do with the way she grew up. I think that she has only really known being poor and she is afraid she will change who she really is. I also think that she probably doesn't want people to think that she is just using Rochester to get the best stuff.
