Best Answer

Jane Eyre uses the pseudonym Jane Elliot when speaking to Mr. Rochester after she leaves Thornfield Hall because she wants to keep her true identity hidden. By using a different last name, she's protecting herself from being recognized and potentially harmed by Mr. Rochester or anyone else who may be looking for her. Additionally, assuming a new identity allows Jane to start fresh and establish herself independently.
