Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester together?

Somehow reading through the chapters of Jane's occupation as a tutor for Adele, I sensed an immediate connection when Mr. Rochester and Jane first saw each other. Reading through the part where Mr. Rochester fell of his horse, I imagined in my mind an old man riding on a horse than is distracted by this beautiful young lady and looses control of his horse. Not only that, but at Thornfield Hall, Jane Eyre is invited by Mr. Rochester including with Adele to have some tea with them, and Mr. Rochester asks the strange question to Jane Eyre, "...do you think me handsome".  I do not immediately think that he is trying to make Jane think he likes her, but it does lead me to the point where, are they going to marry, is their anything higher than a friendship relation going on? But now Jane is developing feelings for Mr. Rochestor. Awkward like to have person in their forties to like a young girl that is about to enter her twenties, but as they say, anything is possible.

  1. You think Jane is beautiful? Nobody in the book seems to think so. I wonder about their notion of beauty, whether it is similar to ours or not.

  2. I believe that Bessie said so when she came to Lowood Institution to see Jane.
