Character analysis of Edward Fairfax Rochester

叶可晴

The wealthy master of Thornfield Hall and Jane's employer and, later, her husband. Over the course of his life, he grows from a naive young man, to a bitter playboy in Europe, to a humble yet still strong man worthy of Jane. Both share similar virtues and seek their personal redemption. Yet Rochester errs in giving more rein to his feelings than his judgment and in expecting the world to submit to his will, as when he tries to marry Jane while still concealing Bertha and his secrets. In his distress after losing his eyesight, Rochester comes to accept his need of guidance and respect for God. His final strength comes from his newfound humility.

   罗切斯特的个性具有高反差，拉扯冲突感特别强，情场老狐狸与活泼青年人特质竟能够完美地兼容于一人：一面是严厉粗鲁阴沉尖刻自负郁结傲娇老谋深算，但也坚毅笃定敏锐幽默坦率真挚善良，还是嘴碎戏多的话痨体质。

         简的性格刻画更是符合完美文学形象：敏锐勇敢自尊自强聪明好学幽默善良包容奉献。

         归根结底，二者都是有着强大自我防卫机制和情感防线的个人：于简，是她的艰辛的成长经验，她举目无亲的孤女身份；于罗切斯特，是他的创伤经验，他的玩世不恭，他不可告人的秘密。两人最终走到一起，有彼此救赎的意味。

  Brontë uses many themes of Gothic novels to add drama and suspense to    Jane Eyre   . But the novel isn't just a ghost story because Brontë also reveals the    reasons    behind supernatural events. For instance,    Mr. Reed's  ghost in the red-room is a figment of Jane's stressed-out mind, while    Bertha    is the "demon" in Thornfield. In  Jane Eyre   , the effects of the supernatural matter more than the causes. The supernatural allows Brontë to explore her characters' psyches, especially Jane's inner fears.
