    pervasive that they serve as a substructure for the entire novel: fire and water-and their extremes, the flames of lust and the ice of indifference. The fire is in Jane's spirit and in Rochester's eyes. Jane desires "life, fire, feeling" (p. 105); Rochester has "strange fire in his look" (p. 145). If these two are fire, St. John Rivers (note the last name) contains the icy waters that would put out fire, destroy passion. His nature is frozen over with an "ice of reserve" (p. 334); when he tells…

    This can be seen by the social cues in the dialogue. For example, the formality of the way the characters addresses each other as “Miss Eyre” and “Mr Rochester”, this was an essential part of polite Victorian society. Furthermore there is the over flourish of words in the discourse which was common during this period. For example, when Mr Rochester says “the first time I, or Rumour, plainly intimated to you that it was my intention to put my old bachelor 's neck into the sacred noose, to enter…

He apologizes for demanding her, tells her he truly loves her, then demands her and objectifies her, making her seem like his property instead of a person with a desire for independence. That this ‘love’ he admits of supposedly having for Jane when they first meet is not ‘true’ love as defined, but is a disordered ‘eros’ based on pleasure in imagination. This identification of Rochester’s ‘love’ to be disordered ‘eros’ can be seen when he…
