“Diana announced that she would just give me time to get over the honey-moon, and then she would come and see me.
'She had better not wait till then, Jane,' said Mr. Rochester, when I read her letter to him; 'if she does, she will be too late, for our honey-moon will shine our life-long: its beams will only fade over your grave or mine.”
I like this quote at the end of the novel because even though she had a tough life, it ended happily for Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre is both a Gothic and Romantic novel, and after all the ghosts and deaths and crazy people and cousins and sadness, which are the gothic aspects, we finally see the romantic aspect in the love and marriage and destiny to be together and inevitable fate and love and happiness at the end. Jane Eyre (Rochester?) and nameless Rochester marry and live happily ever after.
