It is not a simple plot in any means. a Girl ( whose rather dismal background is dealt with at length) is hired as a live-in maid to the somewhat mysterious Landed-Gentry type Mr. Rochester. The two, put mildly do not get along well. Rochester is a menacing manager to understate it. as this takes place before the advent of, say telephones, she doesn"t once try to bail out ( they are not- except for a sort of trick ending) married. any really strong willed dame would , these days- call the police- and so on.Things come to a head, there is talk of ghosts- and Rochester"s mentally ill ex-wife goes berserk and starts a suspicious fire. Mrs. Rochester dies in the blaze- Mr. Rochester very nearly and he not only suffers smoke inhalation and ( one would imagine, Burns, scars) but loses his sight- in the aftermath he recovers his sight and ( crazy to my eyes) the two get married- as Wife no. l is deceased- it is a weird story that Like Scrooge, could not happen today.
