Esta obra é um clássico gótico, isso está claro na atmosfera da narrativa. Gosto bastante de histórias góticas e Jane Eyre não me decepcionou. A escrita de Charlotte Brontë é excelente e no Audiobook que escutei a atriz Thandie Newton conferiu uma ótima interpretação do texto da autora. O enredo em alguns momentos me deu a impressão de dispersar, mas isso é compreensível pois o foco da obra é aprofundar a personagem Jane Eyre à medida que a mesma se depara com uma diversidade de obstáculos pessoais. Em alguns momentos houveram soluções convenientes para os problemas de Jane, mas isto não me impediu de gostar da história. O livro tem um clima de mistério, especialmente no que diz respeito a esposa escondida, mas infelizmente já tinha recebido o spoiler. Imagino que teria sido ainda mais intrigante ler sem saber antes da existência de Bertha. A narrativa é lógica, porém, como havia mencionado, em alguns momentos soluções por demais convenientes desafiaram um pouco essa lógica. Gostei de Jane Eyre, tanto da obra quanto da personagem, contudo, uma ressalva que faço, deixando claro que é uma questão de preferência pessoal e não um defeito do livro, é que teria preferido que Jane tivesse recusado a oferta de St. John de forma mais assertiva. Ele havia se mostrado um pouco manipulador e eu gostaria que o “Não” de Jane viesse dela mesma e não tivesse sido uma consequência da descoberta de que Rochester havia se tornado viúvo e debilitado e necessitava da ajuda da protagonista.

This is the first ever classical novel that I have read that I truly adored. With a purely descriptive writing style, a relatively loveable heroine and a complex moral story, I really enjoyed Jane Eyre.
Bronte's writing is delightful and although long winded at times, beautiful, with lots of extended metaphors and references to the supernatural and fantastical. One other downside to the writing is that of the different languages that are sometimes used; this does add to the book however you may need a translator to understand completly what is being said in dialogue. This in itself is an easy solution to a small problem.
The story is interesting as we follow a girl throughout her childhood as she becomes an adult woman. This is one of the first novels to do this in its time, with less of a focus on marriage and courtship. Instead the focus is on Jane and her life and adventures.
I would highly recommend as a relatively accessible and interesting, classic!
