Recently, I have somehow cast myself as Jane in my very own personal production of
Jane Eyre. No, not the musical, not the book, just my life. However, I find myself fortunate that I don't have a St John popping up yet. To be told that I was made for marriage and not love? Does that really win men points. That said, that became the second worst proposal I've heard in my musical theatre going career. The new top worst proposal was where one character informed the other that they were going to be married, and to seal the deal, he was going to rape her, and oh yes, by the way, he was going to sleep around with other women after they marry and she was going to like it.
Looking at that, I would take St. John hands down!
But, here's a brooding Rochester for you. A bit of stick figure fan art I created years ago based on Jasper Fforde's
The Eyre Affair. I really need to get cracking on my
Les Miserables/
Field of Dreams cross-over, don't I? "If you build it, they will come..."
