Well, I guess the reason that it seemed off to me is because it mostly read like a list of reasons that he, Rochester, would be attracted to her, Jane. But I do see your point now.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, I see.

Well, I think Jane's starved for affection. Much of her life she's been considered a burden, a nuisance, or only valued for the work she can do. (A couple of people at the school? But one died and the other left to marry.)

And now this clever, eloquent guy likes to play word games with her. He trusts her in desperate situations; he thinks her art is evocative; he describes her (who considers herself ugly) in a pleasing way... that's heady stuff for a teenage girl. And, he is considerate of her small comforts in ways that are uncommon in her life. He has great regard for her, and she responds to that. He makes her feel good about herself.

He's also... don't get me wrong, hiding the marriage and the violent madwoman aren't good things to do... but he's much less of a bastard, socially, than your standard Generic Brooding Bad Boy.
