Jane Eyre
“ It little mattered whether my curiosity irritated him; I knew the pleasure of vexing and soothing him by turns; it was one I chiefly delighted in, and a sure instinct always prevented me from going too far: beyond the verge of provocation I never ventured; on the extreme brink I liked well to try my skill. Retaining every minute form of respect, every propriety of my station, I could still meet him in argument without fear or uneasy restraint: this suited both him and me.”
The previous plots seem to point out that Rochester is the one who controls the discourse, and Jane Eyre is just a listener. However, this statement fully demonstrates Jane Eyre's pleasure in it, revealing that Jane Eyre and Rochester both share the right to speak.
