"He claimed these services without painful shame or damping humiliation. He loved me so truly, that he knew no reluctance in profiting by my attendance," (Bronte 639).
As the reader begins the novel, MR. Rochester is presented as being a rude, proud, yet kind master, who cares not for anyone else in the world. At first he appears to be a flat character, but we soon learns all about Mr. Rochester's life, thoughts and emotions and he turns into a round character.. He turns out to be a loving man, though he hides many secrets. After his accident in the burning house we see a whole new side of Edward Rochester. He was extremely brave and righteous in getting all the other people out of the house before himself. Once he is crippled, Mr. Rochester is sympathetic, understanding, and much more down-to-earth than he was previously. In his love for Jane, his character is made less harsh, and less proud which was his ultimate character flaw.
