I stood motionless under my hierophant's touch. My refusals were forgotten—my fears overcome—my wrestlings paralysed. The Impossible—i.e. my marriage with St. John—was fast becoming the Possible. All was changing utterly, with a sudden sweep. 去书内

    In nineteenth-century England, marriage was more subordinate to status and wealth, and a woman like Jane Eyre, who was neither pretty nor had a family fortune, was impossible to be admired by the so-called gentlemen of high society. Rochester s existence to Jane Eyre could be described as a miracle, giving Jane Eyre the joy of life and the sweetness of love. While at that time, Jane Eyre introduced a concept that is still deafening to the modern mind – men and women are equal in love. The saying is deeply branded in my mind: " I swear to you, if God gives me wealth and beauty, I will make you can t leave me, just as I can t leave you now. Although I am not beautiful and poor, we are equal, just as we all kneel in front of God through the graveyard after death."
