There are many interpretations of Jane Eyre. These mostly try to see Jane Eyre as an independant and strong woman. There are also parallels between Bertha and Jane that are discussed in the video. I personallly think that the story is much simpler than most commentators allow.
It is an unlikely love story and that is what Charlotte Bronte enjoyed in writing the book.
Readers of Charlotte Bronte’s book Villette will also read of unlikely pairings and love. This is something that interests Charlotte Bronte and both these book have unlikely heroes for the lead man.
Mr. Rochester is an overwhelming man and it is hard to see what Jane Falls in love with at first. As the character of Mr. Rochester is opened up you begin to see what Jane is attracted to. Mr. Rochester’s apology to Jane is their second evening conversation is the first time that Jane Sees a differewnt side to Edward Rochester. She has never in her life been treated as an equal. Mr. Rochester treats Jane as a like mind with him. This is what begins the close relationship between them.
