Antoinette was raised in a convent, and the marriage that's been arranged for her upsets her very much. She and her husband are mismatched from the very beginning; I have no idea what they were thinking of here! They come from different cultures and adhere to different customs; both of these issues make it possible for either one to relate to the other.

Antoinette's past actions are a bone of contention with Rochester. He disapproves of her, and he disapproves of her relationship with certain family members, particularly her half brother. Antoinette exists in isolation, an isolation that began within her own immediate family, and then went with her into her marriage. She has no sense of self; she has no peace.

This novel is a parallel of Bronte's Jane Eyre.
