Why is Jane so readily thinking of a future with Mr. Rochester? - Cassie Barber

Women are often portrayed differently in books than in real life. People romanticize abuse in books and one a woman finds a love interest, all of their past abuse is suddenly "forgotten" and thrown out the window like it never happened. It's not that the author forgot about it though, they purposely write the character that way because they have a false sense of reality.
