Page 177: Jane sees beauty in Rochester that is not in the form of his looks, though she find his crude form pleasing. The other people never mention how handsome he looks and only vain mention of his other attributes. It is Jane who cares for him the most and rightfully sees the best of him.
Page 179: The ladies are discussing governesses and how they acted and how they disapproved of all of them. None of their descriptions match Jane, like she is an exemption from the rule. Jane's demeanor is that of nobility. She greatly surpasses the intellect of any of them. Perhaps Rochester will marry her and bestow upon her the right she deserves.
Pages 180-183: Throughout the party, that he invited Jane to, he doesn't look at Jane. She is obsessing over him yet he doesn't even look at her. Instead he flirts with Ms. Ingram who he is expected to court. Is he trying to be like Jane and surpress his feelings by courting this lady and letting Jane know his position? Then when he can spare a moment with Jane, Rochester shares some compassionate words with Jane and it is clear to tell he has feelings for her. He even starts to refer to her as something then stops short. He so desperately wants her yet something holds him back.
Page 185: Jane considered by the others too dumb to play charades yet she guesses all the ones the party does and even the one they can't guess. She is better than any there.
Page 188: Jane is observing the relations between Rochester and Ingram and notices all her flaws and failed attempts to win his heart. She alludes to her shooting arrows at his heart but they glance off, yet if shot by a steadier hand they would ensure his love. Jane knows the technique to win him. What Jane doesn't realize is that she has already won Rochesters' heart and nothing Ingram does can change that.
