About Jane Eyre but you can answer without having read it.
I have an assignment in my cp english class. We are having a mock trial charging mr. rochester of fraud. He was married to an insane woman which he can not get a divorse from. He attempted to hide it and marry Jane any way attempting bigomy. He lied to her about his wife. He also lied to a woman named blanch ingram about his intention to marry her. In reality he only told her he wanted to marry her because he wanted to make jane jelous. So I'm defending him from 2 counts of fraud one on jane and one on blanch. Keep in mind this was during victorian times so women weren't favored over men in situations like this. How can I defend him because there is very little evidence for him?
