4.5 stars; Jane is way ahead of her time & I’m glad I crawled through the last ~200 pages because it was great

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

very very very slow. i would recommend everyone reads it at least once in their life

ok so i didn't know anything about this book before reading and I thought it was like pride and prejudice? it is decidedly NOT like pride and prejudice

once i realized this was more like a thriller and less like an easy romance, life got so much better

also mr. rivers is my favourite character ever
slow-paced

I liked Jane as a little girl. very cool. but then she fell in love with a man twice her age. whatever. ik it's a product of its time

jane eyre è un romanzo che esalta l'indipendenza, crescita e realizzazione di sé. jane è una ragazza che nonostante le umiliazioni subite da bambina riesce comunque a realizzarsi, una protagonista che pur mantenendo un comportamento convenzionale al tempo e quindi con sani principi spirituali e coerente con i valori morali dell'epoca, non abbandona la sua forza d'animo, la ribellione e la voglia di cambiamento e riscatto.

un classico a cui non avrei dato una possibilità ma che alla fine mi ha sorpreso in positivo, ho apprezzato particolarmente l'intreccio di elementi gotici e mistery con un umorismo a tratti pungente che ha reso la lettura ancora più interessante. storia d'amore discutibile ma ho comunque cambiato idea sul signor rochester alla fine. john rivers mio vero e unico nemico, insopportabile.
