A review by thechanelmuse
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

3.0

"'You examine me, Miss Eyre,' said he: 'do you think me handsome?' I should, if I had deliberated, have replied to this question by something conventionally vague and polite; but the answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I was aware—'No, sir.'"

Jane Eyre is a long, heavily descriptive, 19th-century soap opera about a young, isolated orphan girl who grows up to lead a melodramatic adult life that addresses themes of family, love versus independence, social class, gender roles, and religion. It's simultaneously ridiculous AF and entertaining.
