More questions about Jane Eyre.

*Why did Jane not question Rochester more than she should have? He kept Grace Poole even though Jane told him she did not like it. Even when Jane senses she is unsafe with Grace Poole in the house, Rochester still continued to not tell Jane the truth.
Also, what was Jane thinking? That if Rochetser was able to not tell her something when she asked for it, what guarantee was there that he would tell her his secrets after they were married? How could she have just trusted him like that even when he told her he could not tell her truth (until after they were married).

*If Bertha was mad, how come she found Jane's veil in Jane's room and tore it up? How mad really was Bertha? Was she even mad at all?

*How come no one else showed up for Jane and Rochester's wedding? Did Rochester not have any friends for family AT ALL? I realize Jane did not...but could she not have invited her pupils or even Mrs. Temple? Wasn't Mr. Rochester known to the gentry in the neighborhood? Then why did he not invite any of them? Why did they keep the marriage in such secret? Were they both ashamed of it unconsiously or conciously? Or did they just not care about having anyone else at their wedding..that what mattered was just each other? Or did they know that no one else would have approved of such a marriage?

And here's a pic of a screenshot from the 1983 JE:
