It's the classic trope, the protagonist is brought low and will have to overcome further barriers to soar again, and deployed very well by the author! A completely different view of the world for Jane, who has yet to enter society without protection and is still naive. It gives the reader a new perspective on the period.
He couldn't save her! That's kinda the point. He was too entangled in his problematic private life. Jane had to leave to preserve her sanity, her dignity and her independence. She commented herself that as his mistress, she would have been degraded and thrown over. It would only be repeating a History that had tormented Mr. Rochester
“my dripping clothes were removed; soon a warm, dry bed received me. I thanked God--experienced amidst unutterable exhaustion a glow of grateful joy--and slept”
“I blamed none of those who repulsed me. I felt it was what was to be expected, and what could not be helped: an ordinary beggar is frequently an object of suspicion; a well-dressed beggar inevitably so. To be sure, what I begged was employment; but whose business was it to provide me with employment? Not, certainly, that of persons who saw me then for the first time, and who knew nothing about my character. “
Honestly I feel bad but I’m kinda angry, how is one given the absolute world and denies it??? I genuinely think what she did was quite selfish and believe that’s she’s quite hard-headed, how is one gifted with such self-restraint, humans have to act upon their emotions or else they’ll be miserable... she’s going against her own nature ...
I feel like it is more complex than that. Infidelity, at the time, was much more meaningful than it is today. Marriage had religious and social significance. If you were married, it stayed that way unless you wanted to be shunned by society at large and refused a place to work. Jane is obviously of faith, and so she cannot, under even these circumstances, bring herself to be the 'other woman' for Mr. Rochester. She has to go against her nature many times in this novel, but she does so out of her own faith. It is, I believe, in this way that Helen has had the most influence on her as a person. She used to be so naive and impulsive with her words and actions as a child, yet as she has grown older she has become more tame and accepting, yet never forsaking her own role/identity for her feelings.
Brendan O I agree and it’s not selfish to put your honor before your heart. It is not pride, it is not self serving, it’s her self respect. In The Great Gatsby, Nick Caraway similarly sacrifices his love with Jordan for the honor of his values, I cannot tell you how much respect I have for him for that. (Sorry if that was a spoiler)
Miguel Ramos - Castillo lol sry we just have to read this for honors English and assumed you went there cuz of ur recent post. I’m behind two chapters rn and I don’t wanna read it 😬
Miguel Ramos Castillo I chose it for an English presentation without realising how long it was! I definitely struggled with it (I kept reading the same thing on accident as it is hard to read because of the language) So I looked it up as an audio version and it has helped so much!

Poor girl needs a hug. And if Mr. R doesn’t come back and save her, I’m going to riot.

“my dripping clothes were removed; soon a warm, dry bed
received me. I thanked God--experienced amidst unutterable
exhaustion a glow of grateful joy--and slept”
“To-night, at least, I would be
her guest, as I was her child: my mother would lodge me without
money and without price. “
“ and of
her, reader, I could not bear to ask the relief for want of which I
was sinking; I could not yet beg; and again I crawled away.”
“I blamed none of those who repulsed me. I felt it was what was to
be expected, and what could not be helped: an ordinary beggar is
frequently an object of suspicion; a well-dressed beggar inevitably
so. To be sure, what I begged was employment; but whose business
was it to provide me with employment? Not, certainly, that of
persons who saw me then for the first time, and who knew nothing
about my character. “
Im so fed up with this book already, like stop
it wоooorks for me

Dude Mr. Rochester literally had a woman locked up in a windowless room inside his house. Would you want to stay there?
It was much different 200 years ago. Marrige and human law were thought to be a God given. To break that law would be to reject God’s will.
