My Dear Teacher and My Fellows,
How are you? How does your week-end pass? I hope that everything is fine. My week-end is awful,I've got a terrible flu and a very high temperature-39,2. It's one of the worst moments in my life but I will fight with this ailment,eating lemon,honey,garlic and onion:)
This week I've read some more pages and I enjoyed it as usual.Now,I will summarize all that I've read.
So my dearest people,my previous post finished at the moment when Jane accepts Mr.Rochester's proposal.
Let's continue: Everything seems to be going great.It's the day of Jane and Mr.Rochester's wedding. It should be the happiest day of Jane's life,but during the church ceremony two men show come claiming that Rochester is already married! Mr.Rochester admits that he is married to another woman,but tries to justify his attempt to marry Jane by taking them all to see his "wife".
Mrs.Rochester is Bertha Mason,the "madwoman in the attic" who tried to burn Rochester to death in his bed,stabbed and bit her own brother (Richard Mason),and who’s been doing other creepy and dreadful things at night. It is Bertha who is hidden on that mysterious third floor. Mr.Rochester was tricked into marrying Bertha fifteen years ago in Jamaica by his father who wanted him to marry for money and didn't tell him that insanity ran in Bertha’s family.
Mr.Rochester tried to live with Bertha as husband and wife,but she was too horrible,so he locked her up at Thornfield with a nursemaid,Grace Poole. Meanwhile,he traveled around Europe for ten years trying to forget Bertha and keeping many mistresses.Adele Varens (Jane's student) is the daughter of one of these mistresses,though she may not be Rochester’s daughter. Eventually he got tired of this lifestyle,came home to England,and fell in love with Jane.
After explaining all this,Mr.Rochester claims that he’s not really married because his relationship with Bertha isn’t a real marriage. The main problem is that he can’t divorce her because it was pretty tough and difficult to get a divorce at all in the Victorian period,and Bertha’s behavior isn’t grounds for a divorce,since she is mentally ill and therefore not responsible for her actions. He wants Jane to go and live with him in France, where they can pretend to be a married couple and act like husband and wife. Jane refuses to be his next mistress and runs away before she is tempted to agree.
That's all I've managed to read this week. Very interesting! What will happen next??? I will read for sure and I will discover. But I can predict (from Nastia's last post) that everything will be alright. Jane will forget Mr.Rochester,will miss him,will come back to him and they will marry truly. But how? If there is still Bertha. Something special will happen. I will see.
Good luck sweathearts(as Marcela likes to call us:)!!! Enjoy reading and life!
Sincerely yours,
Alina

My sweety! It's a pity that you cought a cold. But I'm sure you'll be alright soon. Don't eat too much onions and garlics, it can cause a pain in stomach.
