I forgot how much I love this book.
Thanks to the amazing yarn advent based on Jane Eyre, and the maker of said yarn (AdventuresInYarncraft) holding a read-a-long, I fell back in love with this one.
I hadn't (re)read a classic in a while, this really made me want to start reading all my favourites again

Literally incredible. Idk I’m not going to start analyzing stuff out of this because english isn’t my first language but it was worth spending a month on this book. So so so good.
Another classic I re-read for comfort. Life for a single woman with no relations was indescribably hard in the time of the Brontës. Though perhaps not entirely so, as Charlotte Brontë shows in her page turning masterpiece.
Having to fend for herself from a very young age, Jane Eyre manages to stay mostly collected in the most challenging of circumstances, but she feels, deeply. She is endowed with a clear mind, but a passionate nature lingers below her quiet surface that is extremely satisfying to see shine through.
On the other side of this gothic romance there is Mr. Rochester. He is not your calm, collected gentlemanlike character, he is rather a Byronic hero. His darkness and ugliness, his capriciousness and moodiness, they all make him difficult to gauge and predict. He alarms you, yet you feel for him, even when he's being quite the jerk on a regular basis.
I enjoy how this book is more raw and real than for instance Austen's books, where poise and self-control at times hinder a more honest glance at conflicting feelings.
Do give it a go if you haven't yet, as a reward there is a whole slew of excellent adaptations to relive this gripping story!

"And for the rest, though you have a man’s vigorous brain, you have a woman’s heart, and—it would not do.”
Wow! I loved this! Can't wait to see all the adaptations... Charlotte is witty, fun, entertaining writer!
Jane is a true heroine & the way she talks to us readers is amazing! Jane is brave and never disregards what her woman's heart wants. We could all learn from that!
