Rochesters father was greedy and wanted to secure the fortune and wanted a big dowery. Bertha's brother and father wanted her married off fast because they knew the illness would strike, also he was rich. She was encouraged to flirt with him etc etc.

Lunatic asylums were very notorious for their cruelty and horrible conditions, people around these times were ashamed to have a family member in the asylum. By marrying her off, they diverted this future. The Mason's gave the Rochester's money for the arranged marriage so that she was married before the madness showed. Rochester was tricked into the marriage, unaware of Bertha's apparent hereditary illness.

What is the name of fingerspelling only?

The only name I've ever heard it called is fingerspelling. Also called "Manual Alphabet" :-) It is also, though not often, referred to as the " Rochester Method" or "Visible English". A method of deaf education that focuses on fingerspelling and speech. This method gets its name from the fact that it was used for a time as the main method of instruction at the Rochester School for the Deaf (formerly the "Western New York Institute for Deaf Mutes") in Rochester, New York. The Rochester Method is based on standard English. Each English word in a sentence is fingerspelled. This method isn't used much anymore because spelling out each word is a tedious, time-consuming process. (Stewart, 1992)
