Well, he is not a ghost; yet every nerve I have is unstrung: for a moment I am beyond my own mastery. What does that mean? I did not think I should tremble in this way when I saw him – or lose my voice or the power of motion in his presence. I will go back as soon as I can stir: I need not make an absolute fool of myself. I know another way to the house. It does not signify if I knew twenty ways; for he has seen me.
– Charlotte Bronte
Jane Eyre, Chapter 22. Jane speaks of how she trembles, loses composure and feels nervous on seeing Rochester as she walks towards Thornfield. She didn’t think that she would react this way after her brief absense. What does it all mean, she asks herself? It clearly means that she is in love with Rochester.
