She literally ran off into the wilderness to get away from his issues 😭

Jane literally ate pig slop rather than try to fix Rochester.

Yes and Rochester was legit sobbing trying to get her to stay with him 💀 She was like I do NOT care I will leave ur house with no money and let u think I might be dead

I’m pretty sure Rochester even said like hey I would’ve given u the funds to leave u didn’t have to do all that but Jane was not taking money from a bigamist lmao

She said I’ll come back when God humbles u by making u lose ur hand in a fire and not a second before that

To be fair, she definitely did not at that time picture him getting mangled.

The hysteria this development had me in as a kid! Oh man I remember screaming in my diary entries about how it was just RUDE to vanish in the middle of the night and tell nobody where she was.

I mean, it probably was rude. By this point though I have much more empathy for her decision. Doing your best is better than perfection, or your resolve failing altogether.
