One of my favorite stories, solely because Jane is that strong of a character. Reader, these stars are not for Mr. Rochester who reminds me of more than a couple of Matt Berry’s television personas, or St. John who still somehow manages to be the awful one of the two.

One of my favourites from being a teenager. The religion and colonial aspects now deter me a bit more as I understand them more fully, but I still love the book. Rochester is such an arsehole, but flawless characters are, I suppose, less interesting.

Ach. Idk how to even write a review of this. I could not have gone in more blind, I didn’t even know this was a gothic book. Imagine my delight when weird ass creepy shit started happening!! I felt like a young woman reading this right after it got published.
She’s a dense book. But refreshingly so?? It’s slow and arduously picks apart emotion and thought. The reader is Jane Eyre’s companion and she treats you as such. I can’t remember the last time I got to know a main character so intimately. What do you know about my dear friend Jane Eyre!! This book is an epic and should be treated as such! Content wise, I’m a bit too much of a modern woman to be wooed by Rochester 24/7, that man does some crazy manipulative things. But my good friend Jane likes him so I’ll look at him with a bit of a kinder eye. Mostly.

This amazing tale following Jane Eyre’s life, starts with her being an orphan girl adopted by her uncle’s family where she is mistreated and abused. Then the story goes on to Jane going to school and becoming a teacher. As a now young woman, she goes to work as a governess for a certain Mr. Rochester , an encounter that will change the course of her life. Jane Eyre, the novel, to me, is much more than a love story. So many important subjects such as class, discrimination, and patriarchy are explored. I really loved Jane Eyre’s character, her fierce personality and kind heart. I’m glad the story ended on a happy note.
