A review by kamrynkoble
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

5.0

Jane Eyre is perhaps one of the finest pieces of literature ever written. With seemingly haunted manors, oppressive schools, broody and rugged love interests, evil relatives, and raving lunatics in the attic, it presents a perfect recipe for a dark romantic.

The novel follows Jane, an orphan who grows up knowing that she is a liability. Sent away to a boarding school, she grows up as a seemingly meek and mild woman, suppressing spurts of passion as she ages despite herself. She tells her story as an autobiography, giving an honest account before telling her reaction in most situations. Sensitive and crippled by realism, she comes to terms with her own assets and liabilities as a person.

Jane's devotion to the truth and keeping herself in check makes the novel a fascinating study. Her journey as a character is documented directly; however, is caught up in the midst of breathtaking figurative language. The writing style is beautiful, and accented well by insightful character arcs and themes.

Charlotte Brontë's work has been immortalized for due reasons. Any person who enjoys fine literature and and a fantastically sensitive wordsmith for an author will find satisfaction in this classic piece of art.
