Unhinged

A great introduction to the Brontë sisters. Glad I took the time to read it.

The dark and melancholic mood of this book is unmatched; the unyielding agony, the lonely desolation; the insatiable desire to be loved, ugh Charlotte Bronte you genius!! I especially loved the ideas of female otherness and the supernatural, almost as if Bertha and Jane exist as a manifestation of the duality within the female psyche, Bertha revealing the primitive demoniac side of madness while Jane upholds the purity and righteousness of an almost saint like figure. The love story between Jane and Mr Rochester I definitely did not like, however I think that it allowed Charlotte Bronte to oppose the Victorian conventions of a obedient and docile woman. Such a beautifully written book, the Bronte sisters are insanely talented!!

Wow. Surprisingly one of my faves !
