In chapter 23, Mr. Rochester asked Jane if she would like to go for a stroll in the garden. Jane is caught off-guard to his request, but accepts anyway. They walk to the bench near the chestnut tree and Mr. Rochester converses about the job that is opened in Ireland- a governess position. Jane "distress[es] at the great distance that separates Ireland from Thornfield". I think that Mr. Rochester is making Jane want to stay in Thornfield because I believe that he does really like her deep inside. Though I don't think that Jane gets the hint that he actually wants her to stay until he then proposes to her. While reading this, I thought that is was quite queer as how he asked her when the marriage of Blanch and him was being postponed for the time. Jane desisted at first, wondering why he was teasing her, but he convinces her that what he was asking was no joke. Jane's fall for it, and she giddily says yes. If it were me in her shoes; I would've said no because I know that he was going to marry someone else. It would make me feel as if he were a player; just trying to get all of the girls that feel bad for themselves. But then again; if you had a secret crush on him from the start, I wouldn't be surprised to hear myself say yes.
Jane gets unexpectedly ask by Mr. Rochester to walk alone with him through the garden. Through the garden, Mr. Rochester begins to explain to Jane that he is going to be marrying Blanch very soon, but Jane doesn't know that he wants her to stay in Thornfield, not Ireland, for the proposal. Of course Jane would accept this because because Jane is in love with Mr. Rochester, what would you do for your love?
