Blanche and the relationship between Mr. Rochester and Jane
In chapters 18-20, Blanche is introduced to the story as the woman Mr.Rochester is going to marry. Blanche and Jane are complete opposites in hobbies and character. She seems to be the the third wheel in between Mr.Rochester and Jane's love. The two somewhat hidden lovers are even more isolated and mysterious because of Blanche being the center problem. Mr. Rochester and Jane each hide their feelings for one another -- Mr. Rochester more than Jane. Jane obviously has feelings for him that she can not excuse; Mr. Rochester also has feelings, but are more deeply hidden.

Implication of both Mr.Rochester and Jane's feelings made the entirety of the story more complicated. If they have expressed their affection to each other, they might have had a better understanding. Mr.Rochester didn't trusted Jane enough the fact that Mr. Rochester disguised as a gypsy on chapter nineteen showed his intelligence but at the same time contrasted with his faith for Jane.
