I am less a fan of too much detail that can be given during a character depiction. The pacing is really good even though I felt like the second part was dragging on. The characters are all well written, despite the fact that I didn't particularly like any of them.
I am a bit disapointed because at some point in the story some things didn't make a lot of sense anymore and characters started to be unpleasing... Also, I wasn't charmed by the love story mainly because I have a hard time engaging with big age gap relationships.
Even then I totally share the love that people have for this masterpiece of storytelling and it's definitely one of those books that make you forget about time.

Also, I didn't realise how many red flags poor Jane is surrounded by. I begrudged her choice to go back to Rochester, but he was so much better than her cousin.
The story provides keen insight into what could happen to a poor and helpless woman in a patriarchal society. It seems so easy for the men in her life to push her around and even order her to marry them, it makes me so uncomfortable.
Also, as an Indian woman, I find St. Johns mission to rid the hindu heathens of their beliefs so ridiculous and disturbing. I don't know how people can go around claiming they have the greatest thing and try to fear monger people into a religion, its baffling.
