15. Chapter 14: “I am not a general philanthropist”
Listen now
Description
Jane sits down with Mr. Rochester for another revealing (?) conversation that quickly goes into territory she is unfamiliar with.  She may be a little confused, but it does seem like Mr. Rochester knows what he is doing as he attempts to peel back the layers of her personality. Charlene also peels back the layers of the character inspiration for Mr. Rochester and some of Charlotte Brontë’s history. ---- Our theme song is “You Live In My Heart” by Zakhar Valaha. Audio clips are from the 1973 BBC production of Jane Eyre starring Sorcha Cusack and Michael Jayston.
