I think in chapter 20 you really see Jane's devotion, because even with all these odd occurrences happening she can't seem to stop loving Mr. Rochester, its as if all of this is a test, for something bigger to come. Especially when she is emotionally tormented by Mr. Rochester asking her opinion and almost "permission" to marry Ingram Blanche, when he knows he really does not intend to...or does he? Perhaps he is testing Jane, to see how far he can push her until she stops returning. I think he gets carried away with toying with Jane and testing the waters, that if I were Jane I would almost see him as immature when it comes to something so serious as love.

Good, post, Chambri--thanks for getting this done. I think we're going to find that Rochester may well have reasons for his insecurities with regard to claiming Jane's love--we'll see. But you're right to use 'test' so often, as events to come will certainly provide a test for both characters.
