If I had to pick any of the events of the story to be the main conflict, it would be Jane’s relationship with Mr. Rochester. It was not exactly your typical love story, with a handsome young man and a pretty girl, who both are perfect for each other in every way. The relationship had good moments, but also bad moments, and these ups and downs continued throughout the entire novel. Other conflicts of the novel are living with her cruel Aunt and abusive cousin, and her stay at Lowood School. The cause of the main conflict is when Jane first meets Mr. Rochester and they are immediately attracted to each other. This started a relationship, and thus forming the conflict. Gains of the conflict are that Mr. Rochester finally has someone that he can rely on to help him if he needs it. Unfortunately, Mr. Rochester is not the nicest person to Jane all of the time, and not only that, but he is also already married! (Bronte 378). This angers Jane and she is heartbroken, so that could be a definite loss of the conflict. She leaves him and barely makes it before her cousins (whom she has never met before) take her in. Conflicts arise there as well, especially with St. John Rivers. Jane eventually heads back to Mr. Rochester in the resolution of the book, and they marry, living happily ever after.
