As she reflects upon the people and emotions that have defined her, it is clear that the isolated and imposing residence - and Mr Rochester's coldness - have sorely tested the young woman's resilience, forged years earlier when she was orphaned. She must now act decisively to secure her own future and come to terms with the past that haunts her - and the terrible secret that Mr Rochester is hiding and that she has uncovered...
