Answer:
Jane and Mr. Rochester's relationship is based on intelligent equality at first. Mr. Rochester is intrigued with Jane's honesty to his questions which prompts him to inquire more into the way she thinks rather than merely judging her physical features or social status. Generally, for that time period, rich men did not marry their employees; so, for that fact alone, their relationship would not have been taken seriously at the time. Because of that fact, however, the implausible becomes a romantic notion to be explored by the author and discovered by the reader. The phrase "opposites attract" seems to fall into place as both Jane and Mr. Rochester discover intriguing details about one another's life. The details seem to be unequal, though, because Mr. Rochester has more experience and more secrets about his life than Jane has. This makes it easy for Mr. Rochester to manipulate a young girl by trying to make her jealous and keeping a deep, dark secret from her. No true relationship can stand on lies or manipulation.
