Summary
Inspired by The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins. This is a modern retelling of Jane Eyre in which Bertha has a degenerative illness and is in a nursing home—meaning it’s easier for Rochester to keep her existence a secret from Jane because Bertha does not live in his house. I feel okay about revealing this detail because nearly everyone knows about Bertha by now, even though her existence is supposed to be a plot twist.
The title of this story references what Jane says to Mr Rochester about Bertha in Jane Eyre: “You speak of her with hate...It is cruel; she cannot help being mad.”
This fan fiction is somewhat faithful to the original story, though set much more recently; it has many of the same plot points. However, some plot points are changed to reflect modern sensibilities. For example, in the very first chapter, Jane’s uncle rather than her aunt is depicted as abusive, because I believe it is misogynistic to portray a woman this way.

Summary
'JANE EYRE was her name. You had heard it repeated like a mantra, one word together instead of two, become infatuated with its hollow sound. And, sneaking shyly to gaps in floorboards and plaster, some created by yourself, you would watch her.'

Summary
"Despite everything, Richard Mason loved his brother-in-law, though Rochester likely wouldn’t see it that way. When he thought back fifteen years to the weeks he spent helping to catch a husband for his sister, he was filled with shame. What was worse, he knew if he had to do it again, he would not change his actions."
Or Richard Mason's perspective of Rochester before and during the novel.

While Rochester is away on a mundane errand, Jane ascends to the forbidden attic and meets the woman she was never meant to understand. In a shared space haunted by secrets and rain, Jane and Bertha—Antoinette—have a conversation that could undo everything Thornfield promised. What begins in fear turns into reckoning, and two women long confined by male narratives begin to imagine escape, not into fantasy, but into freedom.

Summary
He cannot make out the stars and constellations as he once could, nor even the shape of the beautiful moon he had once admired so ardently. All shape and shadow had blurred together. The delineation of his life had been smudged like an imperfect drawing rubbed out by it’s regretful artist.
“Jane . . . Jane . . . Jane!” he calls out to the wind.
He receives no response. Even the leaves have seemed to abandon him, their faint rustling silenced.
*My take on the scene where Jane hears Rochester calling her name toward the end of the novel, only this time it's written from Rochester's perspective.

Summary
"Подумай про його муки, про загрози, які чигають на нього... уяви, що з ним станеться, коли ти покинеш його самого... згадай його запальну вдачу... зваж на те, що за відчаєм завжди йде розгнузданість... утіш його, врятуй його, люби його..." (Шарлотта Бронте, "Джейн Ейр", розділ XXVII, переклад Дмитра Щербини)
Але, попри ці роздуми щирого серця, Джейн все ж покинула його.
