Read it years ago and loved the start that's covering Jane's childhood, especially the misdemeanor bits and the one friend she had. The OG female POV romance. Would have liked to read more about her life post-"getting with the guy".

“Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton? — a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! — I have as much soul as you, — and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty, and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, or even of mortal flesh:— it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet, equal, — as we are!”
“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will; which I now exert to leave you.”
“I am not an angel, and I will not be one till I die: I will be myself Mr. Rochester, you must neither expect nor exact anything celestial of me.”
!!!!!!! i will never forget this book !!!!!!!

So enjoyable to read classics. This was an interesting read about a woman who really comes into herself. I get why it's a classic, feminist, and why people still love it today.
“Sacrifice! What do I sacrifice? Famine for food, expectation for content. To be privileged to put my arms round what I value - to press my lips to what I love - to repose on what I trust: is that to relea sacrifice? If so, then certainly I delight in sacrifice!”
