I haven’t read this since high school, and it might be because I am doing the audiobook but a lot of people in this book like to monologue and speechify. Were people like that in the 19th century or is this Bronte being melodramatic? Rochester is definitely a mansplainer.

Me when Jane packs to leave Thornfield Hall and mentions she has only 20 shillings: I get that you have pride, but he lied to you about being married, take the damn pearls with you.

So is it me or does Jane seem to have a lot of anger at points throughout the book but none of it is directed at Mr. Rochester. Not when he is dressing up as a woman to get her to share confidences, not when he admits to a wife.
