Jane Eyre #3

I have come to notice that the universal theme of Jane Eyre is extremely similar to Wuthering Heights. The theme of Wuthering Heights was that with love there are obstacles. But if you are truly in love, it was always find a way. I believe that this is the exact same theme as Jane Eyre. In this novel Jane finds love with her employer, Rochester. At first she decides to keep her love a secret from him. Surprisingly, Rochester brings home a woman named Blanche Ingram. This is an obstacle that Jane must overcome if she really loves Rochester. Jane thinks that Rochester will propose to Blanche. Surprisingly again, he does not. Rochester then turns around and asks Jane for her hand in marriage. Jane is so surprised, but of course she says yes. As they are in the midst of their wedding, Jane is informed that Rochester is already married. He got married in Jamaica to a woman that had gone crazy. So there is just another obstacle that their love must face. Later on there is another fire at Thornfield, and because of the fire the crazy woman, Bertha, lost her life. That is another obstacle that they got over. Then they got married, gave birth to a son, and they lived happily ever after! Therefore, the theme is that love can make it through anything. There might be speed bumps or road blocks, but in the end it all works out right.
