teawithstevie 's review for:
Jane Eyre
by Charlotte Brontë
I was very surprised to enjoy this classic as much as I did. I felt a strong bond with Jane herself that I dare say many people do when they read it. I found her strong will and unyielding sense of morality quite irresistible as it is something I would love to be able to achieve. My main attachment was with Jane’s strength, however, I also loved the environment built around Thornfield and the wilderness that she finds herself lost in later in the novel.
Parts of the novel seemed coated in a mystical religious tone, an almost faerie like setting and there are definitely gothic elements in relation to the mad women in the attic, but I wouldn’t class it as a gothic novel.
For me my immense satisfaction with this novel is difficult to explain but it seemed to tap into many things that I love in a literary world: nature, mysticism, a genuinely strong female protagonist, love and true tests of hardship. I absolutely loved it.
