About This Quote

Jane said yes to Mr. Rochester, but will she have the same answer all the way through? Jane is a young woman who has had her heart broken. She is blind and is afraid of being led about by the hand. She has been crippled by her former fiancee, Mr.

Collins, who tried to get Jane to marry him so he could get wealthy inheritance. But Jane is not willing to give up on her dream of Rochester, despite his rude treatment of her. Jane says yes to everything Rochester says until she knows more of his treatment of servants, but even then she still feels it is worth the risk.
