I went into Jane Eyre with surface level information about it and I was so confused about what was so appealing about Mr. Rochester.

I think Jane is dumb for going back to him when he basically told her that he was going to ‘chain her up’ with jewellery. He is by far the most unlikable character I’ve ever come across in a book

Finished this book one minute ago. I read the last 100 pages in one sitting and it’s now 2am. I’m just stunned and so relieved by the ending. It’s been so long since a story had me so invested that I felt physical ache for the characters’ love and misfortunes. Jane is such an icon I love her strong sense of self. I love the motifs in the imagery like the moon and wind and woods and fire etc It’s exquisitely written. I underlined the shit out of this book to the point i think I’ll have to buy a new copy since I destroyed this one with love. Definitely one of my all time favourites now
