Jane Eyre

What I found most interesting about Jane Eyre so far was her Romantic Parents and their history. Her mother being rich and wealthy and her father being a low clergyman and their marrying each other even though here mother would be written out of the Will. Nothing fits our definition of Romanticism better than their union. You can see the same connection between Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester. When they first meet Jane Eyre unknowingly helps Mr. Rochester when he falls off his horse and sprains his ankle. The relationship between these two different class of people is something that is relatively new during the Eighteenth Century. But I have one problem, is this story bordering on being more Romantic in some aspects? Does the plight of Jane Eyre make the reader to sympathetic to realize these relationships wouldn't normally exist?
