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.

How does the characterization of the aunt contribute to the satire?
Tcecarenko [31]
She misinterprets the reactions of others. “Perhaps the grass in the other field is better,” suggested the aunt fatuously. Hope this helps!

How does the setting in how a cat played robinson crusoe affect the way the cat behaves
Elza [17]

Answer:

The answer is option C

Explanation:

Feline conduct incorporates non-verbal communication, end propensities, hostility, play, correspondence, chasing, preparing, pee stamping, and confront rubbing in household felines. In a family with numerous felines, the cooperation can change contingent upon which people are available and how confined the domain and assets are. Most proprietors consider this to be an indication of friendship and welcome this conduct. At the point when felines rub against articles, they are exchanging their aroma. It is nearly as though they are asserting proprietorship and we are one of their effects. Your feline head-butting or nestling your face stores fragrance from organs in their cheek area.Kittens may grow up to be meek in the event that they are not mingled early. Albeit each feline has its own identity, all felines have a few qualities that a few people discover charming and others find off-putting. Felines can be curious, neighborly, fun loving, dynamic, adoring and free.
