Asylums
In the novel Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, Bertha suffers from a severe mental illness. Mr. Rochester, Bertha’s husband, locked Bertha in the attic and hired someone to look after her when her mental illness became prominent. Although Rochester did take some measures to provide care for Bertha, she needed far more help than what was provided to her. One option could have been for Bertha to live in a mental asylum.
