I cried when we saw the ending, because that's what we wanted and it didn't come easily.
But I never figured out why Jane Eyre left. Does love have to be attached to marriage to be able to reflect its existence? She left because she couldn't face Edward's wife and couldn't marry her? Was it because they struggled only to continue their platonic love in the spiritual realm outside of marriage? I don't understand that two people who love each other like this have to be separated only because of this form of imprisonment.
When Jane Eyre expressed her love for Edward, she was so relentless. At that moment, even if the sea was dead, there was no way to separate them. But when the truth was revealed, Jane Eyre seemed to collapse. But at this moment, I don't think anything major has changed. At this moment, Edward did not reduce his love for her in the slightest, and at this moment, she did not reduce his love for Edward in the slightest. But this fact has since changed their fate. I asked myself: Does Jane Eyre want Edward's love, or the title of Edward's wife? Does she want a love, or a marriage?
If love cannot lead to marriage, is it bound to perish?
I don't understand this inner battle, or this kind of plot caused by a social ideology in that era and regional context.
I followed my own thoughts: if I were Jane Eyre, I would stay, because at that time, he was more vulnerable than me, he would need me more, and he would love me.
