Jane Eyre Question 2

The conflict in Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte is that Jane Eyre is in love with Mr. Rochester, who is already married. Jane first met Mr. Rochester when he pulled up to Thornfield not to long after Jane arrived. "The horse followed- a tall steed, and on its back a rider." (Bronte 134) Mr. Rochester and Jane clicked after that because Jane was the only one in the house that could carry on a full conversation. At first I thought that the only reason why Mr. Rochester wanted to marry her was for the conversational purposes. But I soon found out that they both truly loved each other. The causes of the conflict were because Jane was sent to Lowood which gave her an education she was then led to being a mistress at Thornfield. Being at Thornfield brought her closer to the love of her life, Mr. Rochester. The gains of the conflict were that Jane got to experience falling in love and he also felt loved for the first time, besides Bessie and Helen. Jane had to deal with pain and separation when she went to live with St. John because she had to be away from Mr. Rochester. That was the losses of the conflict.
