29. Chapter 27: Part 1 “I will not be yours”
Listen now
Description
This chapter - the chapter where Jane leaves Rochester - is Charlene’s favorite part of the book.  Rochester tells all, and Jane is faced with the most difficult decision of her life.  There’s a lot to unpack as this is the longest chapter thus far, so Mike and Charlene are discussing it in two parts.  The focus of Part 1 will be on Jane’s reaction to learning about Bertha and Rochester’s justification for his actions. Enjoy! ---- 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.
