Jane Eyre Progression Chapters 16-20
After the fire, Jane became increasingly curious about Mr. Rochester and his whereabouts. This is strange because at this time, a woman did not have any buisness asking questions about a man, especially a man that is her boss. Jane asked questions about women he had been seen at with parties as well, suggesting she might be jealous and interested in Mr. Rochester in a relationship type way. After more than a week of her master's absence she tries to forget about whatever feelings she had in order to just do her job for her salary. Although when Mr. Rochester returns from his absence, he seems more fond of her, but she requests to sleep early because she feels ill. Jane however is unable to "unlove" Mr. Rochester which is strange because women are not supposed to feel for a man, and honor it.
