The strongest conflict dealt in the book, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, is Jane's undeniable love for her master Edward Rochester. The cause of this is kind of hard to describe. I mean, how can you describe such an uncontrollable and indescribable emotion such as love? I think one of the main reasons that caused Jane's love for him was when Mr.Rochester was almost killed in the bedroom fire. After she saves him, she feels more of his equal and realizes her true feelings for him. The gaining dealt in this conflict seems fewer to me, than the losses. The gains really do not appear until the end of the book when Jane and Mr.Rochester reunite and Jane gains a lifelong husband and true love. Some of the other things Jane gains towards this part of the book are the inheritance of 20,000 pounds and a family of legit blood relations. "Now the wealth did not weigh on me: no it was not a mere bequest of coin,-it was a legacy of life, hope, enjoyment" (Bronte, page 469, paragraph 4). The losses in this conflict were plentiful. The first loss was the trust between Jane and Mr.Rochester when she found out the truth. The loss immediately following was of a husband. (For the time being anyways.) Jane also dealt with the loss of a home and of employment.
