In the book Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, secrets arouse a lot of distrust in the holder of the secret and pain in those who hold or discover the secret with examples found in secrets like Rochester actually being the gypsy, Jane's secret reading place, Mrs. Reed hiding Jane's letter, and Mr. Rochester's wife in the attic. When Mr. Rochester is disguised as a gypsy and tells the ladies about these mysterious fortunes, it sometimes hurts some mentally, but more importantly, in Jane's case, it leads to distrust of Mr. Rochester. As John discovers Jane's secret reading place, he further loses trust in the so-called "naughty child" and causes Jane to suffer knowing that she no longer has a safe place in Gateshead. Once Jane discovers that Mrs. Reed had hidden her uncle's letter away from her, she loses almost all of her waning self-confidence. Finally, when Jane found out that Mr. Rochester is married, this is what led Jane to leave him due to lack of trust, and it also weighed on Mr. Rochester with the loss of his beloved Jane. Let's not go too far and talk in more detail about Mr. Rochester and his time as a gypsy. To begin with, when Mr. Rochester secretly returns to Thornfield as a gypsy, he predicts many fortunes, but when the secret is revealed, there is nothing. but distrust for him. For example, when Jane finds out that Mr. Rochester was the gypsy and Mr. Rochester asks her if she can forgive him for his trick, she responds, "[She] can't say until she thinks about it." all this. … [she] will try to forgive [him]; but it was not right¨ (Bronte 213). This shows that Jane had lost trust in her beloved Rochester because of such a simple joke and that the secret had been kept from her, making Jane really wonder if she could really tell... to middle of paper. ....I lost some of Jane's trust. Once Jane's secret hiding place was discovered by John Reed, she lost any chance of trust with John in Gateshead and was harmed physically, mentally and emotionally by her secret. As Jane discovered, Mrs. Reed hid the letter from Jane, any hope of trust between them was demolished, and Jane was also saddened and hurt by the secret. Finally, when Jane discovered the existence of Mr. Rochester's wife on the third floor, the relationship of love and trust between Rochester and Jane weakened to the point that Jane had no choice but to leave, which caused a deeply painful situation. for both. All of these elements thus show the impact that secrets have on trust and feelings on relationships in this book and in our world. Works CitedBrontë, Charlotte. Jane Eyre.
