Vergebe hier keine Sterne, weil ich mir damit schwer tue - Positives: Sprachlich sehr schön geschrieben, viele Naturmetaphern, es war leicht, sich in die Welt „einzufinden“, z.B. Landschaft gut zu lesen beschrieben, habe zum Teil richtig mitgefiebert - Negatives: Stark christlich geprägtes Moralempfinden (wenn auch „fanatische“ Christen nicht gut wegkommen), mit dieser wird auch nicht gegeizt :D, hätte mir ein von Männern unabhängiges Happy End für Jane gewünscht, Mr. Rochester ist ein Kontrollfreak & Arschloch, sehr kolonialisiertes/rassistisches Bild von allen, die nicht britisch sind, z.B. Bertha Mason
Fazit: Trotz der Kritikpunkte habe ich das Buch sehr gerne gelesen. Hier hatte ich beim Lesen nicht, wie so oft, das Befürfnis, möglichst schnell fertig werden zu müssen. Hier war tatsächlich „der Weg das Ziel“.

As I was reading this book I was ready to immediately make it a 6 star book. I was in love with it. The pacing, the writing, the storytelling, and the characters were all perfect. I just fell in love with all of it. Until the end. I really was not a fan when Jane went to Moor House and when she went back to Rochester. I understand that was her happy ending, but I just did not agree with that choice. After I finished the book I thought it was probably not a 6 star because of the ending, but over the past few days I keep thinking about this book. I keep wishing that I was still reading it. I find myself obsessing over it in the same way I obsess over The Great Gatsby (which is my favorite book of all time). So even though there are parts I wasn’t in love with, I have come to appreciate them. Those parts gave the development of the character and I have come to an understanding of the time period the book written in. If this book was written now it absolutely would have had the ending I was expecting. So in conclusion, this is one of my new 6 star books and one of my top 5 favorite books of all time.
