especially, and arrangement to protect health is so bad that causes
several deaths among the pupils. Jane survives, but loses her best

The wedding ceremony is interrupted by a man who tells
everyone that Rochester has a living wife - Bertha Mason, the madwoman

they married, and at the time a divorce was very hard to obtain. He
asks Jane to live with him as his mistress, but despite her love for
him, Jane will not break the laws of God. She leaves Thornfield, and

eminent novel of love and languishment.
