Right from the beginning Rochester struck me as a man of wealth but the way he acts towards his employees, to me, seems very odd. He is abrupt and moody and expects others to hold themselves to a high status and act that way. When others do not hold themselves to these high standards that he sets in place for other people he, to a certain extent, pity's them and from then on will not have anything to do with them because he is this way to most people he is around, he Jane believes he makes it up by being extremely polite and nice towards her. As the story progresses and Jane spends more time with Rochester she begins to find him handsome and continually wants to be in his presence and spend time with him. She fears that Rochester will leave her because from past experiences it is known that he only stays at Lowood for a fortnight. Rochester has been in Lowood for eight weeks and Jane's affection towards him grows every day
