1) I actually thought this exact question when I finished reading this section. Would I, if i were in Jane's shoes, stay and be with Rochester? Could I still love a man who is married ( and LIED to me about being married)? I think it would be an extremely difficult decision, but I believe I would leave. Jane is smart and daring, I don't think being out on her own scares her. And even though she has a wonderful love, her love is already taken. I believe that things happen for a reason, and maybe Rochester being married was meant to be, and a sign that Jane should move on with her life.
2) I really didn't get into the book very much until the romance between Jane and Rochester sparked. The read was just so long and boring, it was very hard to become interested in. But once their love affair began the reading was much more enjoyable, and I actually wanted to read to find out what will happen. So the romance worked for me, but the troublesome childhood and lengthy description paragraphs did not.
3) This is a tough question. I am really not sure. I believe the book does have great literature values, and should be taught. But I also understand that this book may not be exciting to everyone, and may be a bad match for some people. Then again, everyone knows going into a literature class you won't always like the books you read. So I do believe this book should be read, it has great symbolism and a lot of detailed description that every writer can learn something from.
