Example Mr Rochester example essay topic

Essay: Should Jane Eyre have Married Mr Rochester? It is a common opinion that Jane Eyre should not have married Mr Rochester. From their very first encounter Mr Rochester have not been truthful or kind to Jane Eyre. For a start Mr Rochester and Jane's age difference is much too far apart, Rochester was 40 and Jane was about 20, but it was probably normal, that time in England. Even when Jane Eyre offered to help him back onto his horse, he did not offer a Thank you or any form of praise. He simply rode off as though nothing had happened.

Another example is that when Jane saves Rochester from the flaming bed curtains (Which Bertha had started). Not only did Mr Rochester not praise Jane for the trouble of saving him, but also he lied about it saying that he fell asleep with the candle. Jane's stay in Thornfield was made much more unpleasant because of Mr Rochester, for example he criticized Jane on her skills as a piano player, and he questions her ability to draw; he scrunched up one of her paintings of him, simply because he looked unhappy, in the picture. Mr Rochester not only doesn! |t appreciate Jane, but he does not appreciate other people around him, for example, he invited Blac he Ingram to stay in Thornfield, just to make Jane jealous, how would Blanche feel if she realized that Mr Rochester only used her to get to Jane. Another example is the way he treats Adele and Mrs Fairfax. Adele is Mr Rochester's daughter and he makes all effort to ignore her making her feel unwanted and alone.

He treats Mrs Fairfax as if she was less than a servant, he is impatient with her and orders her around. He never tells her of his frequent departure or arrivals to and from Thornfield. Mr Rochester also has some bad habits of his own. He is very much unpredictable and he has an extremely bad temper, and his dishonesty is highly unacceptable. For example Mr Rochester did not tell Jane whom he was when they first meet, instead, he decided to play tricks on her. The other main reason is that he never once mentioned about his wife Bertha, who had been locked up in the attic, all these years simply because she was mad.

Rochester not only did not fetch help for her but probably contributed to make her sickness worse. (Keeping her in isolation.) He didn! |t tell Jane until the day they were about to get married, and that was not until the solicitor and Bertha's brother had found Rochester to stop his wedding. After all these persuasive points, it is very much a common opinion that Jane Eyre should not have married Mr Rochester and would have been better off living with her cousins with her newly inherited fortune.
