Jane Eyre, who has lost her parents since childhood, lived in her uncle's house and suffered from the bullying of her cousins and the unfair treatment from her aunt. After graduating from school, she came to Thornfield to be a private teacher. In the context of that time, there was a large gap between their status, but Jane Eyre still won the respect and love of her employer, Mr. Rochester, with her sincere feelings and noble character. After going through a series of difficulties, they finally got married. Our intensive reading is excerpted from Chapter 23 of the novel. The selection focuses on Jane Eyre's complex state of mind as she learnt of Mr. Rochester's impending marriage and became more aware of her love for him, but then decided to leave Thornfield to preserve her dignity.

世事纷繁，爱疗百苦
“I love Thornfield: —I love it, because I have lived in it a full and delightful life, — momentarily at least. ”
“I have talked, face to face, with what I reverence, with what I delight in, —with an original, a vigorous, an expanded mind. I have known you, Mr. Rochester; and it strikes me with terror and anguish to feel I absolutely must be torn from you forever.”
