In the novel Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, the author shows us a man, Mr. Rochester, who has already had one tragic marriage and has a somewhat closed heart (symbolized by his lack of vision/eyesight later.) Jane Eyre is an honest, plain-spoken woman with no "side" or artifice to her personality. because she is not striking-looking or beautiful in the classical sense, at first mr Rochester hardly notices her in terms of emotional or physical attraction terms. But little by little Jane Eyre gets under his skin and an attachment is growing under the surface. Jane's clear vision (juxtaposed against his "blindness") is one of the qualities that attracts him.
