The beginning felt a bit slow and repetitive at times but later on totally made sense for so much backstory to be included at the beginning. It helped a lot in understanding Jane's character and her actions and in sympathising for her. I was rooting for her so much.
I very much hate all men in the book, the way all of them think they know Jane, what she's thinking and why she's acting a certain way and they are way too bossy.
the way St. John demanded her to marry him and wouldn't stop asking made me so mad. Mr. Rochester didn't act that much better in my opinion and justthe age difference and him calling her 'his little friend', always adding the little gave me such an ick. I can however respect the drama queen he is. And men who yearn >>. The ending was super sweet I was hoping she wouldn't get married by the end and just be her strong and independent self but the ending was still very sweet.
I mean they are so connected they hear each other's voices inside their head calling out for them. I'm such a sucker for stuff like that.
