Jane Eyre actually has a religious dimension.

There is the matter of Mrs. Reid's daughter who decides to join the convent.

Then there is the man who plans to become a missionary to India, who wants to marry her.

I had not remembered that. I've only read that book once and it was years ago....other memories of other stories have interfered in the meantime. I'll have to read it again, thank you.

From the way she describes it and from what i remember, it sounds like religion is more of a "setting," than anything else. Not really much more important to the story, then the fact that they are english and in england.

No, there's definite significance in those stories. Although I think there's as much criticism of "religious excess" as there is recognition of it.

However, Jane does refuse to become a mistress, and Rochester is punished for his transgression.

So, what do you think are the lessons about marriage and choosing a spouse in it?

Obviously it suggests it's not wise to marry to please a parent at 19 for money, especially if you're a man.

Yeah stevus, the culture is filthy, but we can't have girls saying hello to a devout man after church if the priest and father don't want it.

marry for love, marry for money, i guess there's a lot of different reasons. I would marry for things like that too, but i think the first priority should be religion and to a lesser degree ethnicity. Even more important than things like money and love though, I would think would be a set of common priorities.

Marcelino · « **Reply #40 on:** June 02, 2012, 09:13:25 PM »

I think respect would be what I was looking for, in the realm of where I'd think our modern culture would put "love."

....or being bitter and making every thread that mentions women about your own personal problems and hang-ups.

João, the desire of people like yourself and egoveritas to interject has nothing to do with any problems I have.

Rather it has to do with attachment to a culture that supports lies and hypocrisy in women. If you still post on fisheaters, that's exactly what you support. A disgusting cultural marxist parody of Catholic traditionalism.

The culture is in the gutter but it's more important for scuмmy people to treat me as a freak for having liked a young woman (who gave me ample encouragement) and having been kicked out of church for simply wanting a chance to talk to her.
