Bertha is the wife of Rochester. When she marries Rochester she is ok but later she becomes mentally ill and is imprisoned in a room for ten years. One day she starts a fire in the house, she escapes from it but throws herself from the roof and dies. Bronte makes Bertha a rock in Jane’s shoe, she is the one who stands in the way of her marriage with Rochester. Bertha plays with fire when literally she starts a fire in the house, a fire that makes Rochester blind, and her redemption is killing herself what makes Rochester free to stay with Jane.


Rochester is the man who falls in love with Jane. He starts as a dark man, full of problems because of his mentally ill wife. He plays with fire when he attempts to marry Jane even when he is already married to Bertha. After there is a fire at the house and he becomes blind and loses his wife Bertha. His redemption comes when Jane forgives him and marries him at the end.


Jane is a woman who is emotionally and physically abused by her aunt. She becomes a governess at Rochester’s house. She plays with fire when she falls in love with her employer and also when she gives St. John hopes that she will marry him out of duty. Her redemption comes when she listens to Rochester's voice and comes back to see him blind but yet in love with her.

"If you play with fire, eventually you´re going to get burned" is a popular saying, and we can apply it to Bertha, Rochester and Jane´s lives in this way:

Rochester was pushed to get married to Bertha by her family. He did not know anything about her mental illness, Bertha´s family only wanted to have her off because they knew she could have inherited the illness. But Bertha Mason was very wealthy and beautiful. Rochester becomes an unhappy husband and he lies to Jane about his secret past.

The plot is based upon lies, disappointment, bitterness and this comes to unhappy end: the castle is set on fire by the "secret component". The characters didn´t follow the order of love and compassion.

Brontë gives redemption to them; a second opportunity for Jane and Rochester to start living together in harmony. And Bertha sets herself free through the escape and eventual death in the flames.

Why does connell reveal the main conflict until a good deal of the story has passed?
Xelga [282]
This is a good observation. The General reveals to Rainsford that Rainsford himself will be the hunted in page 11-15 of the story. So, your observation is correct. There is a delay in introducing the main conflict. The main reason for this is to keep Rainsford in suspense and study his reaction.

Being aware of your presence as well as physical presence of others.   What does this mean?​
anygoal [31]

Social facilitation is defined as improvement in individual performance when working with other people rather than alone. Compared to their performance when alone, when in the presence of others, they tend to perform better on simple or well-rehearsed tasks and worse on complex or new ones.

the third one, if you add the comma without the when then you would have a comma splice (when you put a comma between 2 independent clauses without a conjunction) adding the when before Cynthia makes the first part a dependent variable  and makes it okay to add the comma!

Hope this helps! :)

in the bass the river and sheila mant, how does the narrator's regret for his choices as a teenager affect his future
azamat

The narrator's regret makes him more thoughtful and reflective about his choices and the people he will be involved with in the future.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • "The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant," tells the story of a fisherman who is in love with his neighbor, Sheila, and invites her on a date.
  • She accepts the invites, but hates the moment when she finds out that the date will be on his boat.
  • He says that he likes fishing and being on the boat, in the water, but realizes that Sheila doesn't share this feeling and that he's not enjoying the ride.
  • At this point, a very large fish pulls the fishing net that the fisherman left in the boat. This causes the boat to shake violently and the fisherman must decide whether to hold the fish or to hold Sheila so she doesn't fall into the water.
  • He decides to hold Sheila but regrets it.

The fisherman regrets this decision because he loves fishing and that fish would be a great victory for his life, Sheila, however, did not seem all that interesting.

This makes the narrator rethink his actions for the future and rethink the people he wants to be close to him, as it is better to avoid people who despise his interests, like Sheila.
