Rochester in Jane Eyre, as a landowner, rich and powerful, said to the lowly and unhandsome Jane Eyre, I have the right to despise you! But Jane Eyre, who has a strong personality and longs for equality, retorted: do you think I have no self-esteem because I am poor and not good-looking? No, no! We are equal in spirit! Just as you and I will finally stand before God equally through the grave.  This remark shocked Rochester strongly.
