MARRIAGE IN JANE EYRE: FROM CONTRACT TO CONVERSATION

Charlotte Brontë's first novel contends that marriage is irreducible to a contract; it must be sustained by the conversation of equals. Yet equality cannot survive without legal recognition and, in early nineteenth-century Britain, this means legal reform: Jane cannot be Rochester’s equal if she is simply his mistress and she also cannot be his equal if the laws concerning marriage are not reformed. Jane and Rochester come together in conversation, inventing each other for themselves, and reinventing marriage as the social form of such freedom.
