Jane Eyre
by Charlotte Brontë
Frankly I prefer her sisters' writings, Anne for her modernism and Emily for her passion and her poetry. Tragic the three should have died so young, how much great literature we missed out on. I tried to read this in a day, I show the attempt on my YouTube channel jane eyre challenge 2020, I failed, I managed to read 2/3 of the novel. I finished it four days after the attempt. It is quite easy to follow for a classic, as it is told in the first person. There is some problematic racism, Charlotte describes Mrs. Reed, a hateful character till the day she dies, as having “dark and opaque” skin. And she writes of John Reed, Jane’s spoiled and entitled male cousin, that “ . . . he called his mother, ‘old girl,’ too; sometimes reviled her for her dark skin, similar to his own . . . ”
