i love when Brontë directly addresses the reader
the romance between Jane and Mr. Rochester is quite complex but engaging. Brontë's portrayal of their relationship challenges societal norms and explores themes of equality and mutual respect.
i love the gothic elements in the novel, as they add a layer of suspense and intrigue - it is very interesting how all of the supernatural encounters have the logical explanation except for Jane and Rochester telepathically communicating. however, i want to know more about bertha and why she acted like that - i also want to know why grace poole tried to kill them.
Brontë's writing is so poetic and vivid - it was such a delight reading the novel; however, some aspects of it feel a bit dated, but that is why it’s a classic.
conclusion: reader, this novel is a must-read.
