I can’t help but love Rochester. I can’t. I adore him and his sarcasm and charm. I think his romance with Jane (wives and age gaps aside) is very sweet. He’s like a total weirdo tho, but idk I like that he doesn’t want to change Jane (like a certain someone does). That being said it is absolutely not the basis of a healthy relationship and it should be read for enjoyment purposes only, as opposed to something to strive to.

Jane Eyre is the knockout star. I loved reading about her. I kind of wish I was born before it was published, so I could read it when it came out. It feels like a story that would have caused major scandal. Maybe it changed the traverse of a young woman’s life. 

It drags a little at around page 300, but I enjoyed every second. Jane is such a pleasure. I loved reading about her and I loved that even in spite of her hardships she was kind, and kept true to herself. She did not let anyone dampen her flame, and I think that’s beautiful. She’s the classic strong heroine and her story was so satisfying. 

Not a 5 star read for me (casual racism, antisemitism, and ableism) but a read that I found to be very wholesome and interesting. It’s absolutely worth it, I will be thinking about Jane for a while to come.

This is a very slow paced book. The middle takes FOREVER to get through, but the beginning is strong and the end is so good! It is a darker book not a fluffy romance like Jane Austen. It is a dark romance but not the kind like nowadays where people get kidnapped and such. Overall, It was good and I get why it is a classic. 

Quotes:

“Children can feel, but they cannot analyze their feelings.”

“I was not heroic enough to purchase liberty at the price of caste.”

“There is no happiness like that of being loved by your fellow creatures.”

Throughout the course of the novel, I became quite fond of Jane Eyre. She is a well-written and developed character, whose virtues are numerous. Her stubbornness and sometimes blunt but honest replies really show her strength of mind and faith.
