"Glad was I to get him out of the silk warehouse, and then out of a jeweller's shop: the more he bought me the more my cheek burned with a sense of annoyance and degradation." (Bronte, 236)
After Jane has agreed to marry Mr. Rochester, he showers her with lavish gifts. This is ironic because he claimed earlier to find no interest in pretty, rich girls who lacked intellect; however, the first thing he does with his quaker-like Jane is attempt to transform her into a fluffed up rich girl. This may be the only way Mr. Rochester knows how to express his love, but he should realize that Jane is not interested in material things. He should dote upon her intellect and treat her to afternoons of conversation, which she seems to enjoy.
