They get married....and then they do it!

Well, we now find out about Rochester and how his father is refusing to give him money. He's sort of forced to marry Antoinette and really has no other choice. But, at least he get's paid about 30,000 pounds to do it. At this point they're really getting to know each other but also realizing that they are very different. Rochester is more interested in money and social class while Antoinette is more kind hearted. Rochester does seem to view her as fairly beautiful and also has lust for her, not love. The novel then continues to have scenes with fire in it, so I'm guessing this a pretty obvious motif that you can tie into Jane Eyre and WSS. Rhys probably switches points of view so we can also learn about Rochester's story and how he has arrived at this point. It pretty much just gives you more insight.
