pages 59-86

Mr. Rochester comes to marry Antoinette, but for him to come and marry her his is paid 30,000 pounds. I think Rochester agrees to marry this girl for the money and because in one of his letters he told his father that he will not be useless and beg for money anymore. So I believe he agreed to marry someone he has never meet to proved to his father and brother he is not useless. Did Mr. Mason offer so much money to Mr. Rochester because he knew that if he didn't pay someone to marry his step-daughter no one would marry her. The day before the wedding when going to the house to it starts to rain and Antoinette sees an old friend. Was this an old friend or was it one of the slaves that burnt down the house? When they arrived at the house four servants are there to greet them. This four people came from the old plantation, did they not uprise and take part in the plan to burn down the house or did they and claim they didn't so they weren't out of a job? On the day of the wedding Antoinette refused to marry; I believe that she refused to marry because she found out that Mr. Rochester was being paid to marry her and did not want to give him the money. Mr. Rochester also took note on how she never wanted to get out of bed and her moods changed at night. I believe that this is foreshadowing how she is going to go crazy and this is the start.
