I am very happy we read both Jane Eyre and Wide Sargasso sea. I believe it’s very essential to read both novels in order to actually see what is actually there and understand every character better to actually knowing the true intentions Of Rochester. Prior to reading Wide Sargasso Sea I made up my mind about Jane and Rochester finally living together in a way I was content and happy Jane finally felt empowered in a way due to Rochester’s disabilities at the end. But once reading Wide Sargasso Sea it is unveiled who Rochester was and in a way, it got me more upset about Jane’s decision. I was actually pleased that Bertha/Antoinette relieved herself from the impressment Rochester had put her in even though it was upsetting she had to kill herself for it.  I was even more happy that he ended up being disabled because of her actions, in a way prior to Jane coming back to him, he got a taste of what Bertha’s life was once he married her. She had a disabled life but once Jane returned to rescue him, he was disabled no more and made Jane the disabled one without her even knowing.
