I'm reading Jane Eyre...

Today Chapter 25 and 26...

Chapter 25- story about a ghost or something...
Passage: 'Ghost are usually pale, Jane.'
     'This, sir, was purple: the lips were swelled and dark; the brow furrowed: the black eyebrows widely raised over the bloodshot eyes. Shall I tell you of what it remind me?'
     'You may.'
     'Of the foul German spectre-- the Vampyre.'

So Vampires are mentioned on Jane Eyre... interesting.

Chapter 26- Fascinating Chapter about Mr. Rochester having a wife who is still living...
Passage: 'No, by God! I took care that none should hear of it--or of her under that name.' He mused--for ten minutes he held counsel with himself: he formed his resolve and announced it.
     'Enough! All shall bolt out at once, like the bullet from the barrel. Wood, close your book and take off your surplice; John Green (to the clerk), leave the church: there will be no wedding today.' The man obeyed.

What? John Green is this novel? Someone should have tell me this! Why?

My WMG: Charlotte Bronte was visited by a nerdfighter who was there to capture some evil babies. After telling that her book is too short and she needs something to write more about Jane Eyre. The nerdfighter gives an idea to further the story by Mr. Rochester having an another wife and gratified, Jane Eyre says to mention the person's name in the scene. The nerdfighter, feeling humble, said 'John Green is my name' referencing the author and left to capture and raise more evil babies.
