Plot: Mr. Rochester first meets Jane Eyre in the episode of falling from a horse, during his return to Thornfield Hall, but their acquaintance occurs later. In communication with Jane, at first, he behaves primly and impudently. After some time, Mr. Rochester and Jane become good friends and often spend evenings together talking. Mr. Rochester loves Jane, "his little elf," but hides it and is going to marry the young beauty Miss Ingram. When Jane tells him about her intention to leave Thornfield Hall, Rochester asks her to become his wife and admits that he was not really going to marry Miss Ingram. But the wedding was not destined to take place, since Mr. Rochester has a terrible secret. This secret is that his first wife was crazy, and he was forced to marry her in his youth, for the sake of money. And according to the law, you can't have a wife.
