Esta obra é um clássico gótico, isso está claro na atmosfera da narrativa. Gosto bastante de histórias góticas e Jane Eyre não me decepcionou. A escrita de Charlotte Brontë é excelente e no Audiobook que escutei a atriz Thandie Newton conferiu uma ótima interpretação do texto da autora. O enredo em alguns momentos me deu a impressão de dispersar, mas isso é compreensível pois o foco da obra é aprofundar a personagem Jane Eyre à medida que a mesma se depara com uma diversidade de obstáculos pessoais. Em alguns momentos houveram soluções convenientes para os problemas de Jane, mas isto não me impediu de gostar da história. O livro tem um clima de mistério, especialmente no que diz respeito a esposa escondida, mas infelizmente já tinha recebido o spoiler. Imagino que teria sido ainda mais intrigante ler sem saber antes da existência de Bertha. A narrativa é lógica, porém, como havia mencionado, em alguns momentos soluções por demais convenientes desafiaram um pouco essa lógica. Gostei de Jane Eyre, tanto da obra quanto da personagem, contudo, uma ressalva que faço, deixando claro que é uma questão de preferência pessoal e não um defeito do livro, é que teria preferido que Jane tivesse recusado a oferta de St. John de forma mais assertiva. Ele havia se mostrado um pouco manipulador e eu gostaria que o “Não” de Jane viesse dela mesma e não tivesse sido uma consequência da descoberta de que Rochester havia se tornado viúvo e debilitado e necessitava da ajuda da protagonista.

"Jane Eyre" follows a young girl, Jane Eyre, throughout the majority of her life. When Jane was very young, her parents passed away, and her loving uncle took her in, despite her aunt's desire to leave Jane to find her own way. Not too long after, her uncle passes away as well, and Jane is left in a home where she is unwanted, and her aunt is plotting to be rid of her. Jane is sent away to a miserable school for girls where she spends the rest of her childhood as a student and become a teacher for two years. She then moves on to be a governess and continues to bravely face the adversity a young woman orphan faces in these challenging times.
If you are looking for a classic that will make you laugh, cry, be consumed by anger, and that makes you believe in love, this is the book for you! I was not expecting to be so sucked into Jane's story, but I was. Jane is the epitome of a strong woman; she is smart, confident, and willing to do whatever she needs to in order to keep her life moving forward. Every time Jane seemed to get some solid footing and make moves that would better her seemingly dreadful life, something outside of her control would arise and foil her latest venture. Jane is such a relatable character, even today.
This quickly became one of my favorite classics, and I look forward to reading more of the Brontë sisters.
