bukukurasi 's review for:
Jane Eyre
by Sam Gilpin, Charlotte Brontë
This is my first time ever to finish a classic. Well, I finished Wuthering Heights but it was an abridged version. This book hands down is one of the best I've read so far. To be honest, I read the book after I watched the movie adaptation where Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender played their part, in my opinion, perfectly. Of course the movie only excerpt a small part of the book yet I consider the movie in some way do the book justice, sort of.
Charlotte Bronte not only tells a love story between Jane Eyre and Edward Fairfax Rochester, but a story about social issues happened in Victorian era England when it was the largest empire with colonies all over the world. However, in England itself, people were struggling for class division, gender inequality, and moral/religious standards. The fact that the book was first published in 1846 astonishing me more. In an environment where woman was being oppressed in the form of limited movement, speech, etc, Jane Eyre become the voice of the generation, it is even still relevant today. Of course, Charlotte Bronte used an alias (Curer Bell?) when the book was first published for the reason that the plot of the book was too masculine.
