After fleeing Thornfield Hall upon discovering that Mr. Rochester was already married to Bertha Mason, Jane Eyre eventually hears a mysterious, mesmeric call from him while she is considering a proposal from her cousin, St. John Rivers.12

Following this supernatural summons, Jane returns to Thornfield to find the estate destroyed by a fire set by Bertha, who died by suicide during the blaze. Rochester, having attempted to save his wife, was left maimed and blinded. Upon finding him in his diminished state, Jane reunites with him, and the novel concludes with their marriage, famously summarized by Jane’s declaration: "Reader, I married him."132
