Letter

Dear Edward

I have thought of your suggestion about moving to your place far away,
and I must say that I love you too much to be with you as your sister. I think it will be too difficult, because we have been as close as a couple, and I think it will too erroneous having you as my brother.
Furthermore I must think about all the consequences it has to live with you when you are already married. It is against the norms and rules in society, and therefore I will disappoint my family if I do so.
In addition to this, I also have to give up my job,
my family and my daily life here in Thornfield, and I am not sure, if I want to take that risk.
I must be faithful to my family and to society.
I hope you would do the same and follow the norms and take good care of your real wife who sits alone in the attic, and love her to she dies.
I know that it can be difficult, and I know that it is hard when you love me, but God will help you. It will also be hard for me, because I love you, but it will be even harder for me to give up what I stand for.
I know you will make it, and I know you can love her, like you love me.
Lots of love
Jane
