Infer: Jane was lying in bed thinking about Mr. Rochester and the feelings she is beginning to develop. All of a sudden, her thoughts are interrupted by some noises and realizes that it was not her imagination, and something was wrong. She discovered that Mr. Rochester's room was on fire, and he was glad that Jane and him were the only witnesses.

A.I. #12 (163-177)

Annotate: Ten days, Mr. Rochester still did not come, a strange chill and failing at the heart, ladies, guests.

A.I.#14 (187-201)

Annotate: learned to love Mr.Rochester, soon marry this very lady, Blanche Ingram, not jealous.

Infer: Jane discovers that Mr.Rochester is going to get married to Blanche Ingram, and says she is not jealous. Although this is what she says, her way of thinking and the way she deals with certain situations makes me believe otherwise.

A.I.#15 (201-215)

Annotate: Gypsy, Mr.Rochester,questions, Fortune.

Infer: Jane was persuaded by Mr.Rochester's guests to see the gypsy. The gypsy begins to ask her many questions about her feelings towards Mr. Rochester, and she keeps her true feelings to herself, and later realizes that the gypsy is Mr.Rochester himself. I wonder what it would have been like if Mr. Rochester and his guests discovered her true feelings towards him then and there.

A.I.#16 (215-229)

Annotate: Mr.Mason, moaned, weak, Mr.Rochester, surgeon, afraid, Jane, confidence, Jane, farewel, ceremony of parting.

Infer: Mr.Rochester's guests woke up to some kind of strange noise. His guests, including those that live in the house became frightened. He told everyone it was not a big deal, and to return to bed. He had confidence in Jane, though. He chose her out of everyone in his house to help him in his task, which made her gain more confidence in Mr.Rochester, and him in her as well. This brought them closer together, and then Jane discovers Mrs.Reed is sick, and has requested for Jane to visit. I think that the whole situation that made him gain confidence in her and her having to leave makes their relationship alot stronger.

Annotate:Thornfield Hall, Bessie, Georgiana,Eliza,Mrs.Reed, demand, Jane, Helen Burns, recalled dying words, letter, death.

Infer: As Jane sees Mrs.Reed, she remembers Helen Burns, and everything that she had told her. She also seems to have a stronger bond with Georgiana and Eliza, but less with Eliza. I think that after not seeing Jane for so long, her cousins realized that she is intelligent.

Annotate: Mr.Rochester,London, marriage, Ms.Ingram,barrier,the sea,from Mr.Rochester,Jane,Married.

Jane realizes that she does not like the fact that he is going to get married to Blanche , and that she loves him and does not want him to leave her. I think that Jane has finally realized that keeping her feelings to herself all the time will not get her anywhere.

A.I.#19 (257-271)

Annotate: renew words of love and promise, happy, strange

Infer: Mr. Rochester has just proposed to Jane, and she feels so overwhelmed with joy and confusion, that she cannot really digest this well. She feels good because Mr. Rochester has just proposed to her which is what she wanted, but she also feels strange because it was so sudden.

A.I.# 20 (271-285)

Annotate:Mrs.Fairfax, looked bewildered, grieve you, little acquainted with men, young.

Infer: Mrs.Fairfax just found out that Mr.Rochester had proposed to Jane. She finds it quite strange that they had decided on doing this so quickly, and told Jane that she thought that she was too young, and that had very little experience with men to determine whether or not she thought that she was in love.

A.I.#21 (285-299)

Annotate: did not dream of sorrow, but did not dream of joy, Bride, marriage, Mr. Mason, Bertha Mason.

Infer: Mr. Rochester and Jane are going through some tought times. Jane is not sure where she stands, and if it is right to be with Mr.Rochester, even if she truly loves him. I think that she cannot accept that she has found true love, and is in denial because she never believed that she would find someone who loved her. As they are about to get married, their ceremony is interrupted by Mr. Mason and a lawyer, who proves that Mr. Rochester is married to Bertha Mason, and is Mr.Mason's sister. After Jane discovered this, she knew that the right thing to do was leave Mr.Rochester, although that is not what she truly wanted.

A.I.#22 (299-313)

Annotate: Terror-struck, solitude, never meant to wound you, pain.

Infer: Jane is very upset to find out that Mr.Rochester had kept Bertha, his wife, locked up, and is upset especially because he never informed her about his previous marriage. She is planning on leaving Mr. Rochester only because she believes that that will be the right thing to do. She truly loves Mr.Rochester, and the thought of being without him devestates her, and him, but she does not want to give in to temptation.

A.I. #23 (313-327)

Annotate: consider the recklessnes following on despair,flee temptaion, fairwell.

Infer: Jane and Mr. Rochester had bearly finished having a conversation about their status and how Jane could not give in, and just love Mr.Rochester. She decided that she needed to leave him even though she loved him dearly. Obviously, Jane is in denial, and is dumb for not staying with Mr. Rochester, who she loves and who loves her back.

A.I.#24 (327-341)

Annotate:Coachman, Whitcross,lost, hunger, dreadful, Hannah, St. John, Diana, Mary.

Infer: Jane has left Thornfield Hall, and has began a new journey. She was lost and she also had no money and no food. She was dropped off in Whitcross, and no one there was willing to give her a job, and she was homeless and starving. She found a house, and in it was Hannah, St. John, and Diana and Mary. At first they reject her, but then St. John finds her almost dead and they accept her into their house. They feed her and let her stay, and Jane is very thankful for that.

A.I.#25 (341-355)

Annotate: Jane Elliot, Mary, Hannah, Diana, St.John.

Infer:Jane does not want to give them her real information, so she tells them that her name is Jane Elliot. They let her stay in their house, and she begins to learn more about what they do and who they are.

A.I.#26 (355-369)

Annotate: The more i knew, the more i liked them, St. John, distant.

Infer: Jane started to like Mary, Hannah, and Diana the more she got to know them. The only one that she seemed to know less of was St. John. She felt distant from him. For some reaosn, she also felt depressed. I think that she feels strange

A.I. #27 (369-456)

Annotate: St. John, marriage, Mr. Rochester, Blind, Marriage, children, Jane

Infer: In the end, St. John proposes to Jane. It is at that moment that Jane realizes that she loves Mr. Rochester, and that she has to be with him. She also learned that Mr.Rochester is blind, and she was able to see past that and accept him and her true feelings for him. Overall, Jane was struggling to accept the true feelings that she had for Mr. Rochester, but she was not able to resist the true feeling of being in love.
