Granbois, Dominica

After their wedding, Antoinette and Mr. Rochester move to Grainbois, Dominica to celebrate their marriage where Antoinette's family owns an estate. The estate, according to Mr. Rochester's point of view, is "more awkward than ugly, a little sad as if it knew it could not last" (Rhys 42). Mr. Rochester is underwhelmed by the state of the home, acknowledging that the house itself "looked like an imitation of an English summer house-- four wooden posts and a thatched roof" (42). Prior to being underwhelmed by the estate house, Mr. Rochester was overwhelmed by the land surrounding the estate claiming that it was "too much" due to the bright colors, greenery, floral scents, and more (41).
