In an unbalanced world, there can be perfect symmetry to dichotomized forces. Jane and
Rochester repel each other, as well as attract because they hold similar experiences yet inhabit
different characteristics. Often times, Rochester is seen as the corrupting, or rugged force, and
Jane as the calming or reserved force. In a song by Dustin Lynch, cowboys and angels are
compared as contrasting forces that pair very well together, [Cowboys] touch is her temptation
[Angels] kiss is my salvation. In this instance, Jane can be aligned with the angel and
Rochester with the cowboy. Jane can be seen as Rochesters salvation because she is motivated
by her care for him to save him from multiple situations that he finds himself in; such as the fire.
Despite their obvious differentiation from one another, they pair well together and complement
each others shortcomings, [they] ride side by side. Both of their pasts stay with them as
baggage, and they both react to those experiences with trauma and obvious pain. Both are equals
in the lengths they go to to protect themselves and those they care deeply about.
