Believe it or not, but I only recently became accustomed with the complete story of Jane Eyre. For some reason, it was completely glossed over in school and I never read it, or even watched a movie. The crazy wife in the attic part, however, I was aware of, as I think is everyone, whether they want ...
Someone at my book club mentioned this and said that Jane Eyre was what every woman wants. I assumed by this she meant that she viewed it as a love story. I would disagree with that. I saw the romantic element as being only one thread in a diverse narrative which comprised of themes such as abuse, f...
I came to Jane Eyre late - she was not the love of a teenage mind, passionate and agile and voracious, as Anna Karenina had been. I read her after college, after, even, law school, as part of a classics project born of the feeling that my brain was losing its edge, becoming complacent and unchalleng...
Re-reading as an adult a book you enjoyed while young is always an interesting pursuit. This book has been extensively reviewed – and I agree with the general opinion that it is excellent – so this won’t be a standard review, but rather my observations this time around (full of SPOILERS).I first rea...
It is probably a trifle surprising that I have not read this book before. I enjoy classical literature, and try to read it several times a year. Ye gods. I get that one is very much guilty of "presentism" when we judge the mores of another time by our own. However, I just wanted to slap Jane a great...
I have always wanted to read this classic especially because there have been so many movies made about this book. Written by Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre is written in the first person. Jane herself tells the readers the story of her life from childhood until she is eventually married. Right away re...
Het begin van dit boek vond ik echt fantastisch, haar jaren bij het pleeggezin en op de kostschool vond ik interessant en leuk om over te lezen. Maar het deel op Thornfield High verveelde mij, en vond ik op sommige stukken nogal langzaam. En mr. Rochester.. na reviews te hebben gelezen moest dit ech...
Let us picture the year 1847. Now let's picture a not quite pretty, not rich, highly opinionated and devout women who values freedom and independence, who also carries a stout refusal to settle for anything other than who she wants as a husband? And a said future husband loves and respects her bec...
So if you have been following my status updates you'll already know I have not been a big fan throughout this book. Jane for the most part is okay, actually probably 2/3 of the females in this book weren't terrible, they all had heir faults yea, but in comparison to the males they were almost angeli...
Nope, I couldn't finish it. Even though it's been sitting right here for ages and ages...I just have absolutely no interest in finishing it. Which is sad, because it's supposed to be such a good story.
