When Jane says she’s cold while Rochester is holding her hand… and he replies in question, “Cold?”. He can feel she is not, quite the opposite, her hands were very warm (so warm home girl felt feverish and couldn’t sleep all night bc of that stirring passion awakening). The text doesn’t explicitly say this but I think it’s implied. We are reading from Jane’s POV who in this moment is just trying to leave his room bc the feeling of desire is unfamiliar to her at the moment and she wants to avoid it in the present. But the clue lies with Rochester’s reply when he questions her “Cold?”. To Rochester’s silly lil brain Jane saying “I’m cold” translates to “Get away from me you unlovable beast I want to leave now and you’re ugly” in Rochesterian. So he plays along and is like “oh yes yes and standing in a pool! go Jane😐 ( 10/10 acting) obviously Rochester being Rochester does the totally rational thing any normal person would do and leave immediately, go get Blanche and execute plan make Jane jealous. Because waiting until morning to find to your surprise Jane is absolutely down bad simping for you is too long of a wait. Clearly spending roughly a month on this plan is way faster (Rochester math).

“He held out his hand; I gave him mine: he took it first in one, then in both his own.”

Jane Eyre 🤝 Sonya Marmeladova

Two women able to forgive and show empathy to the men they love (Mr. Rochester and Raskolnikov) but told them to seek God to gain redemption and take responsibility by telling the truth.

Was thinking this morning about how Jane Eyre goes with Rochester into the woods, sits on his lap "because I saw no reason why I should not, reader," doesn't disabuse him of his notion that she's engaged to her cousin, who she tells him is very hot, morally good, and intelligent (when he asks), and then when he tells her to get off his knee, she says no because she's comfortable.

I’m currently obsessed with Crime and Punishment. I didn’t know Dostoevsky wrote babygirls and poor little meows meows like that.

Jane: what do you want for dinner?

Rochester: my little fairy I don’t want food I want your soul.

Jane: here we go again…

Rochester: how can food satisfy my soul? don’t bother to answer Janet bc it cannot. Your soul is what nourishes my flesh. You are my source and spring of life. Now to answer your question I guess that means I shall have you my Bonnie wee thing!

Jane: you’re getting whatever I put on your plate.

Rochester: yes Janet🧎‍♂️

The way Rochester can’t contain himself when talking to Jane, like he ALWAYS compliments or admires her mid convo at the most random times.

Rochester: (*telling Jane the story of him and Bertha. Very crucial and emotional scene in the book*)

Jane: Well, sir?

Rochester: When you are inquisitive, Jane you always make me smile. You open your eyes like an eager bird, and make every now and then a restless movement, as if answers in speech did not flow fast enough for you, and you wanted to read the tablet of one’s heart. But before I go on, tell me what you mean by your “Well, sir?”…

Like bro just had to pause real quick just to gush and fan girl over Jane lmao.

“Once, she said, she had actually put the question to Mr. Rochester as to when he was going to bring his bride home; but he had answered her only by a joke and one of his queer looks, and she could not tell what to make of him” (Jane Eyre, chapter 22)

This is how I picture that conversation…

Mrs. Fairfax: Sir, when will you be bringing your bride home?

Rochester: My bride is home already.

Mrs. Fairfax: Miss Ingram is here?

Rochester: No

Mrs. Fairfax: Sorry sir, I thought you said your bride is here.

Rochester: she is.

Mrs. Fairfax: …

Rochester: 😏

I must have you. The world may laugh - may call me absurd, selfish but it does not signify. My very soul demands you: it will be satisfied, or take deadly vengeance on its frame.

“Rochester is a bad flirt” … personally I disagree because his whole “I forget how people say goodbye Jane teach me” act is prime Rizzchester.

“Mr. Rochester sought her as if she had been the most precious thing he had in the world, he could never hear a word of her; and he grew savage — quite savage on his disappointment: he never was a mild man, but he got dangerous after he lost her.”

Is your boyfriend the jealous type? Does he…

get jealous of inanimate objects? such as the floor for instance because your hypothetical tears fell on it instead of falling on his chest? Now he has beef with the wooden flooring in your room.

If yes then that’s not your man, that’s Edward Fairfax Rochester.

The scene where Jane plans to have Rochester sing for her as a distraction so she doesn’t have to get all romantic with him in the evening is gold. She’s like “play me a song😊” and Rochester is like “no I’m not in the mood let’s cuddle😔👉👈” and then Jane is like “I’ll have to resort to flattering his ego😐…” and says “but I really want you to play me something🥰”, and Rochester is all like, “oh do you like my singing😏” and she’s like “yes😍”. Then Rochester gets all excited and says he’ll only sing if she accompanies him on the piano which Jane does. She attempts to play but remember Jane can only play “a little” and Rochester literally shoves her off the stool and calls her a “little bungler😏” and does a solo.💀Jane is all happy she didn’t have to play and was like “yay my plan worked hehe” then goes to sit by the window and listen. Rochester drops a banger romantic song about Jane, then gets extremely turned on by the end of the song. He passionately walks over to Jane with some heat in his eyes ready to kiss Jane then she dodges the kiss and is like, “who’s the song about? cuz it ain’t me🤷‍♀️” Rochester is like 👁️👄👁️🫵. Then Jane goes “certainly not me you said the lovers will die together… what a selfish idea I’m twenty years younger than you sir why do I have to die when you die?🤨”. Rochester is like “I’m sorry Jane please forgive me with a kiss?🥺👉👈” and Jane goes “I’d rather not😐🤚” LIKE IM WHEEZING THEY ARE SO FUNNY IN THIS SCENE💀 Rochester calls Jane some kinky pet names after this like “hard little thing😒” and Jane gets all happy bc she is like “he’s annoyed with me good!🤭” Meanwhile Rochester is 100% into this type of treatment from Jane, he’s like “mark me down as annoyed🙄 and turned on🥵”

THE DEVELOPMENT…

Jane: why do you need a chair when you can have a husband? ;)

Rochester: 💁‍♂️🧍‍♂️🧎‍♂️🪑

Jane: it’s perfect for when you go on long walks in the forest and there’s nowhere to sit, I just have my husband become my portable seat. He’s so comfy :)

Rochester: 🪑🪑🪑🪑
