One thing in the story that had a Gothic style was the look and manner of both characters, especially with the introduction of Mr. Rochester. According to Jane, he had a dark sort of countenance rather than some unimaginable beauty that you might expect from a romance novel. He also had a rather sharp demeanor without much tact, constantly asking Jane questions and trying to provoke her. Jane's personality is also something that was common for Gothic novels--quiet and introverted, and at this point, she doesn't smile often.
Also, Jane had a talent in art, which Mr. Rochester also viewed and seemed to enjoy. When asked about the paintings, Jane says that painting is one of the few times that she really enjoys life.
