Jane Eyre: Actions & Reactions

What Jane Eyre did when she found out that Mr. Rochester was married which was running away was a pretty silly thing to do in my opinion. What I would have done in her case was probably break down, especially if I found out during my wedding ceremony. Then I would have calmed down to try to understand what really was going on. Then I would have waited to marry him, while he could figure out how to get a divorce or perhaps an annulment. I have as much self respect for myself like Jane did, yet I don’t think running away from a situation is the way to deal with your problems. Also, I personally wouldn’t be able to say that Mr. Rochester’s marriage to Bertha was a real one because firstly, she was crazy and, secondly she was locked up in the attic.That isn't what marriage should and is like, but I guess it was a lawful marriage only on paper but not in any mental, emotional and, physical means.
