Excerpt from chapter 23 of charlotte bronte's novel jane eyre
(jane is speaking to mr. rochester)

“yes — to ireland. i have spoken my mind, and can go anywhere now.”

“jane, be still; don’t struggle so, like a wild frantic bird that is rending its own plumage in its desperation.”

“i am no bird; and no net ensnares me; i am a free human being with an independent will, which i now exert to leave you.”

another effort set me at liberty, and i stood erect before him.

“and your will shall decide your destiny,” he said: “i offer you my hand, my heart, and a share of all my possessions.”

“you play a farce, which i merely laugh at.”

“i ask you to pass through life at my side — to be my second self, and best earthly companion.”

“for that fate you have already made your choice, and must abide by it.”

“jane, be still a few moments: you are over-excited: i will be still too.”

a waft of wind came sweeping down the laurel-walk, and trembled through the boughs of the chestnut: it wandered away — away — to an indefinite distance — it died. the nightingale’s song was then the only voice of the hour: in listening to it, i again wept. mr. rochester sat quiet, looking at me gently and seriously. some time passed before he spoke; he at last said —

“come to my side, jane, and let us explain and understand one another.”

“i will never again come to your side: i am torn away now, and cannot return.”

“but, jane, i summon you as my wife: it is you only i intend to marry.”

i was silent: i thought he mocked me.

“come, jane — come hither.”

“your bride stands between us.”

he rose, and with a stride reached me.

“my bride is here,” he said, again drawing me to him, “because my equal is here, and my likeness. jane, will you marry me? ”

still i did not answer, and still i writhed myself from his grasp: for i was still incredulous.

“do you doubt me, jane? ”

“entirely.”

“you have no faith in me? ”

“not a whit.”

considering information from both excerpts, which is a logical conclusion?
a) the character of jane eyre is based on the character of hester prynne.
b) if the plot has internal conflict, dialogue is an unnecessary addition to well written novels.
c) the ideas of independence and rebellion cause plot conflicts, especially for male protagonists.
d) the ideas of independence and rebellion cause plot conflicts, especially for female protagonists.
