most of this book could've been an email. it was kind of boring in the beginning, then it got interesting, then it got weird, then it got boring again, then it got weird again, and then it had a happy ending. Not sure I agree that Jane Eyre is a huge feminist/if it holds up as well in present day compared to other literary classics.

This book is so good. I never had to read it in school so I read it for the first time as an adult. I strongly recommend it if you also didn’t have to read it in school, or even if you did and are considering reading it again. It’s wild to me that it was written in the 1800s. The commentary and central themes on the personhood and individuality of women is worth the read all by itself, and the story is excellent on top of that. Absolutely loved it.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Sexism, Forced institutionalization
Minor: Racial slurs
There are terms used that were typical for the time (1800s) but would be inappropriate or offensive to use today. Time period accurate sexism and racism. Though for the time the book is quite progressive in terms of its treatment of women and commentary on women. Time period accurate depictions of insanity and how the insane were treated (poorly).
Inte tillräckligt med tid igen då jag läste den i skolan.

En klassiker med gotiska inslag, den var ganska bra och det var intressant att följa en ung kvinnas uppväxt och hennes liv och är en av dem första böckerna jag ändå tyckte var lite kul att läsa, även fast jag inte hann läsa ut den🌝

Jane was such a boss. I mean there are parts to the book I didn't like but I was rooting for Jane the whole time. Such a well written character I honestly wished she got whatever she wanted. Such a boss.
i didnt rate this back in january, but i have not stopped thinking about it, and so i think it is time she is crowned with 5 stars
maybe ill do an annual jane eyre reread by the fireplace
