A review by rebekah_s
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

4.0

I decided to re-read this in its entirety after many years and was glad that I did because it was so nostalgic, fluid in its narrative and description of the eponymous character, Jane’s marked nuanced personality, her experiences and Bronte’s other characters were quite visceral. I could definitely see parts of myself in Jane. Here is a classic example of human decency, the still relevant challenges of navigating the world as a woman and a great expression of how Jane thrived through adversity. Would’ve given it 5 stars if not for the sometimes unnecessarily long sentences and frequent overused use of adjectives, but that’s just the harsh old English literature student in me, hah! Bronte did paint a good picture, though. I enjoyed reading it very much to the point where I’ll probably read it again in the future!
