“To speak truth, I had not the least wish to go into company, for in company I was rarely noticed.“
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.
