3.0

I first know this book as a classic feminist novel. While this might be true to the period, it didn’t meet my expectations in that aspect at all.
The long chapters about Ms Burn - I thought she will be a impactful character but she wasn’t?
And the relationship between Jane and Mr. Rochester seem forced. Jane talks about her love with passion but all I was thinking was “girl you’re eighteen. And the way he talk trash about his former mistresses, are you really just gonna let it slide? 🤨”
