Jane Eyre remains one of my favorite classics I have read this year, and ever. I look forward to returning to this masterpiece time and time again.
Jane Eyre follows orphan Jane as she navigates the cruel home of her aunt, desolate boarding school of Lowood, consuming gothic mansion of Thornfeild and its resident, and ultimately life in pursuit of moral/financial independence.
Jane is by far the most strong willed character I have ever encounter in literature. Her will for the good in life despite the horrors which she was subjected to growing up is truly remarkable. That being said, the journey through Jane’s adolescence through adulthood is tedious, and fans of fast paced novels might struggle with the length. However, Brontë is a master class in character development, and I love seeing the depth and complex nature of our protagonist.
For fans of beautiful writing, atmospheric setting, and an engaging plot, I would highly recommend Jane Eyre.

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.
