this took me a lot.
i feel so guilty for not liking this one.
I have always been interested in the brontë sisters and this is the first book I have read about one of them. Starting to read the book I was super deep into seeing what would become of Jane, then the writing starts to slow down and I feel that some things are extra, and Rochester seems to me at first like the "man of your dreams", but then their attitudes are rude)?. Jane, dear, you really did not need a man who treats you like that (I know that at that time that was not "frowned upon")
One thing I really like is the religious trauma, but it gets tired and tired once you dig in more.
I like Jane
I don’t like Rochester
I don’t like Saint John
All the woman in this book are incredible and amazing.

Este libro se presta a una lectura liviana y rápida. Una historia de vida peculiar y amores tóxicos, nada que no se viva en la actualidad. Me encanta como escriben las hermanas Brontë.
Jane Eyre es una historia interesante aunque debo reconocer que no me gusta para nada el personaje del señor Rochester (un tipo muy tóxico y excéntrico), aunque si recordamos al primo, a la pobre Jane por su carácter solo atraía hombres excéntricos.

This is one of my favourite books of all time. Every time I read it, I love it more, and understand it more.
Jane is a character who I have identified strongly with ever since I first read this book as a teenager. I love her strength, her intelligence, her compassion and her independent spirit. I love that she strives to improve herself, and that she does not do things which go against her nature. She stands up for what she believes in, and puts everything into the things she does.
Some say that they do not like the relationship she has with Rochester, but in these I see two people who accept each other for who they are. In a world where women were often looked down on and seen only in terms of how useful they were or how beautiful they were, Rochester sees Jane for who she truly is, and views her as an equal.
Some of the quotes in this are astounding, the writing is so beautiful and evocative, giving a real sense of the atmosphere and the times that the book was set. I think my favourite quote from this has to be this one, though:
"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will, which I will now exert to leave you."
I have read this book so many times over the years, and I am sure I will read it many times in the future.

This book has many beautiful hidden details that are not related to the main plot, so many will ignore them because they are not easy to spot. Very well described the feeling of the main character and her thinking. Women at that time, even today, have to accept the thoughts and decisions of men by struggling and doing as they envisioned, without any negotiation. We see this behavior through all the women in this book except Jane Eyre, who eventually gives up on her feelings at the end. She never refrained from thinking rationally and expressing her opinion in crucial moments.
In the end, she fell under her feelings though and I don’t know how to feel about it. I probably expected it to stay strong until the very end, but life always brings us different things. Definitely worth reading.
