I have so much love for Jane!

I enjoyed this the first time I read it, but loved it the second time, and I think understood and appreciated it a lot more on reread. I just loved Jane's journey in finding belonging, and I adore her as a character.

The gothic themes and atmosphere throughout was just beautiful, and I really loved the kinda fairytale imagery throughout, especially in the way Rochester describes Jane (as a witch, fairy, elf, sylph, mermaid etc, and himself as a ogre, ghoul etc).

It took a reread for me to realise how much I dislike St John aha. He's self righteous, judgement, mansplains non-stop and is incredibly pushy

Jane refuses him 15 times, I counted, and still he never really accepts her answer until she literally runs away across the country

A really enjoyable re-read. The language is a little flowery for my taste (I'm comparing it to Jane Austen), but does not detract from the narrative. You can't help but root for Jane and even for remote and forbidding Mr Rochester.
