The Last Tale of Jane Eyre

As sad as it is, the last chapter has crept upon us. Reading the last chapter was pretty interesting because both good and bad things have happened or surprised me at the least. Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester have finally been hitched, but things aren't going as I thought would have happened in the 10 year timeline. Things start out to go well at first: Mary and Diana still talk to Jane, and Jane and Mr. Rochester are happily married. From earlier in the book, a young French girl, Adele, used to be very sweet and kind. When Jane goes to visit Adele, she has become a very sour unpleasant young woman. It's quite weird when she used to be a very nice girl who seemed innocent when she was first introduced in the book. Later on in the chapter, I found out that Mr. Rochester's sight has almost gone away, and then it starts healing. His appearance has changed also when he had lost some limbs, and my response goes back to what Latrell said in the class discussion: "Charlotte Bronte makes it known to us that looks may not stay the same, but the love for each other does". It really puts in the perspective that looks don't matter, and Jane has come to accept that. I believe that she has grown as a character because she has overcome her problems that troubled her when she was young at the beginning of the book.
