After Jane leaves Thronfield, she wanders to the Moor house. She is taken in by people who she later found to be her cousins. She inherits money and starts to live her life and settle. She marries her cousin and seems happy with her new life, but she is not 100% content. Still, this place is comforting for her for a while and she describes it as teh followoimg
"Whitcross is no town, nor even a hamlet; it is but a stone pillar set up where four roads meet: whitewashed, I suppose, to be more obvious at a distance and in darkness. Four arms spring from its summit: the nearest town to which these point is, according to the inscription, distant ten miles; the farthest, above twenty. From the well-known names of these towns I learn in what county I have lighted; a north-midland shire, dusk with moorland, ridged with mountain: this I see. There are great moors behind and on each hand of me; there are waves of mountains far beyond that deep valley at my feet. The population here must be thin, and I see no passengers on these roads: they stretch out east, west, north, and south" (Bronte)
This location provides her with ahome of her own and a life thart she starts to live. Instead of staying here and being comfortable, she eventually returns to Thornfield to be married. This, to me, follows the gothic novel theme, where she seems to gp back to places where she was heartbroken. She may seem happy at the ending, but Thronfield itself had dark memories through the novel that I associate with the locatuon itself.
"The house of Moorseats, just north of Hathersage, is believed to be the inspiration for Moor House. It was owned by Thomas Eyre and visited by Charlotte with Ellen Nussey." (Reader's Guide to Jane Eyre)
