Discussion Questions In a recent adaptation of the novel for television, the story began with Jane’s running into Mr. Rochester. Are chapters 1-11 unnecessary? How does our understanding of Jane’s childhood and child self contribute to our understanding of her as an adult?

Discussion Questions What is the significance of specific houses and characters’ relationships to them? Gateshead, Lowood, Thornfield, Ferndean What is the significance of homes and domesticity generally throughout the novel?

Discussion Questions In what ways, and for what reasons, is Jane portrayed as an outsider? Consider Jane and Rochester’s relationship: What do they have in common; How do they establish a relationship; Is their relationship reasonable?
