What is the mystery in Jane Eyre?

Perhaps the biggest and most important secret in Jane Eyre is that Mr. Rochester has a lunatic wife named Bertha Mason. This secret serves as the solution to many of the mysteries in Jane Eyre: Mr. Rochester's bed catching on fire, Mason being wounded, and the maniacal laughter that Jane hears throughout the novel. Bertha Mason is the secret that explains why Mr. Rochester does not call for help when his bed is lit on fire and why he attempts to conceal Mason's injury to the rest of his visitors. This secret also explains the behavior of Grace Poole. When Jane Eyre hears the strange laughter, she thinks it is Grace Poole, when really it is Bertha Mason. Grace Poole is hardly seen around the house because she is in charge of taking care of the lunatic Bertha Mason. But, perhaps, the most important thing that this secret does is obstruct the first attempt of marriage between Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester. When Jane and Mr. Rochester are at the altar, Mason walks in and publicly announces the existence of this Mrs. Rochester (Bertha Mason). When this secret becomes known, nothing can be done but for Jane to leave Mr. Rochester in order that he live properly with his wife and not with a "mistress" (according to the standards of Victorian society).
