Read this book for Uni as it is a classic. I just found a lot of characters and situations either frustrating and confusing. Along with Jane's choice of emotions for certain events are so bizarre. Overall, just confusing and I feel like not worth my time.

I have to say, I much prefer Charlotte to Emily. I can say that as I have read an equal amount of books by each (yes, I am aware Emily has only one published work).

I have so much love for Jane!

I enjoyed this the first time I read it, but loved it the second time, and I think understood and appreciated it a lot more on reread. I just loved Jane's journey in finding belonging, and I adore her as a character.

The gothic themes and atmosphere throughout was just beautiful, and I really loved the kinda fairytale imagery throughout, especially in the way Rochester describes Jane (as a witch, fairy, elf, sylph, mermaid etc, and himself as a ogre, ghoul etc).

It took a reread for me to realise how much I dislike St John aha. He's self righteous, judgement, mansplains non-stop and is incredibly pushy

Jane refuses him 15 times, I counted, and still he never really accepts her answer until she literally runs away across the country
