"At any rate, there is neither room nor claim for me, sit."
"It is cruel-she cannot help being mad."
"You are to share my solitude. Do you understand?"

When they are up there Bertha attacks Mr. Rochester but, he wont strike her back he just wrestles her until he can tie her up. Jane locks herself in her room and doesn't even cry, though she feels dead inside and empty like when she was a child. she decides she must leave because she still loves Mr. Rochester and in her tormole she remembers God and does a little prayer. When she talks to Mr. Rochester she tells him she is leaving but he can't get it through his head and keeps insisting that she is leaving with him too be his bride. Jane wont listen and he gets upset and calmly threatens to use violence on her to make her.
