Where is sex in Jane Eyre?

What is love?

To the first question the answer often seems

simply: “sex is in Bertha” – albeit imperfectly

contained – or “in Rochester”, the two obviously

sexual creatures of the book. If Bertha seems to

offer a cautionary illustration of the dangers of

excessive sexual appetite, Rochester’s example is

much more equivocal.
