Jane Eyre "AI" pages 204-218

Page 204: The gypsy is revealed to be Rochester who was just trying to pry into Jane's thoughts. He is making clear attempts at Jane and wants to know what she truly thinks of him before he makes a move. Does he love her so much that he is willing to stay with her without any commitment just to avoid the risk of losing her if she doesn't feel the same? Jane mentions to Rochester about the guest and his name. At the mention Rochester becomes weak and freaks out. Jane not sure what to think but follows his orders.
Page 209: Jane awakens by a great ruckus and when sitting up Rochester comes to her for help. Jane is again playing savior because the noise has again come from Grace. It's a stony woman that Rochester has no emotional control over, just like Jane, and he needs Jane to fight fire with fire?
Page 211: Mr. Mason, the newcomer, is bleeding and Rochester threatens neither of them to speak to the other while he is off to get the surgeon. Grace is in the next room. There is obviously something he doesn't want to get out.
Page 212: The candle goes out and Jane starts to worry, just then Rochester returns giving her hope. Yet again he came to her rescue right before she gave in, they are each others savior.
Page 213-217: Interview? Grace attacked, bite, cut? Strange saying of sucking blood? Poor creature not to be discovered? Mason, who was attacked, wants Rochester to take great care of her and cries for her safety?
Page 218: Jane had earlier referred to Rochester as a volcano and now he referres to himself as suck. They are made for each other.
