This is amazing! I've always loved how Jane is a stubborn little weirdo who knows her self-worth. Thanks for framing this as masterful negotiation. I also plan to have as my new mantra "I WILL be happy. Goodbye."

Thanks Jennifer! The first time I read Jane Eyre, as a teenager, I rolled my eyes and thought she was dumb to be so devoted to this guy who lied to her? Reading it now as an adult, after having to make tough decisions of my own, I appreciate the book and Jane so much more.
