The last 20% of this book was very good and I very much enjoyed it. Zaara I won’t spoil anything I promise. I definitely do think I recognized a few themes and I’m gonna do some research now so I’m in tip top shape for group discussion. I understand how this was a classic and I certainly felt for Jane and was rooting for her the entire book. First half was a bore but I’m sure catrette will enlighten me in some fashion about how important it was or something. I do think Jane’s trauma from her gos awful family definitely played a role in all of Jane’s decisions and it made her insecure and doubt in several cases of the book. Fun book

This is my first time ever to finish a classic. Well, I finished Wuthering Heights but it was an abridged version. This book hands down is one of the best I've read so far. To be honest, I read the book after I watched the movie adaptation where Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender played their part, in my opinion, perfectly. Of course the movie only excerpt a small part of the book yet I consider the movie in some way do the book justice, sort of.
Charlotte Bronte not only tells a love story between Jane Eyre and Edward Fairfax Rochester, but a story about social issues happened in Victorian era England when it was the largest empire with colonies all over the world. However, in England itself, people were struggling for class division, gender inequality, and moral/religious standards. The fact that the book was first published in 1846 astonishing me more. In an environment where woman was being oppressed in the form of limited movement, speech, etc, Jane Eyre become the voice of the generation, it is even still relevant today. Of course, Charlotte Bronte used an alias (Curer Bell?) when the book was first published for the reason that the plot of the book was too masculine.
