Progress on Jane Eyre, Part 3.5

Just a quick observation - the back and forth between Mr. Rochester and Blanche Ingram reminds me of the verbal sparring between Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet, only much more cynically portrayed. It's not a conversation of equals, more of a self-absorbed, haughty person talking to herself and Mr. Rochester just going along with it sarcastically.

I wonder if the similarity to Austen was intentional...
