“Wherever you are is my home – my only home”, are Jane Eyre’s confessed words of love to Mr. Rochester, revealing that a home is not necessarily confined to a place, it could also be found where people are. In Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, Jane’s home is Mr. Rochester, who she falls madly in love with him, and it is that precise love intensity that allows her to continue demonstrating her diligence and great work ethic as a governess throughout the novel – and reason for her to ultimately return home to him. As far as how Rochester affects Jane’s actions and work, she struggles to find a balance between that of her yearning of love and belonging (i.e. a home) and that of her religious and personal morals.
