Jane Eyre: Charlotte Bronte (Penguin Classics)

Product Information

Trigger and content warnings for bullying, abuse, abandonment, loss of a friend, and use of the slur g*psy. The relief she experiences when she learns she is getting away from the condescending attitude of the Read house and going away to school at Lowood also reminds me of Harry’s relief to discover he, too, is escaping to Hogwarts.

John Rivers, when he was such a small part of her life, not to mention the fact that the part he did play was primarily negative. However, the standout is the rawness in which the author expresses Jane’s feelings of love, hurt, and anguish, and the many themes it embraces particularly for its time. Jane has too much self-worth to have Rochester until he redeems himself in her eyes, until he repents. Second to that is the uninhibited depiction of the characters, their emotions, and the inner battles they must conquer in the face of temptation.When they first meet in the house and he is quizzing her, she consciously mirrors his tone ("I, speaking as seriously as he had done") and "His changes of mood did not offend me because I saw I had nothing to do with their alteration".

Jane refuses to take the steps that would destroy her integrity in her own eyes, and for that she has my strongest and most sincere respect and admiration. She lacks the requisite features of today’s female subjects of romance: the quirkiness or the humor or the adorkable way she trips and falls/spills coffee/etc.

With every twist life hurled at her, Jane merely straightened her shoulders, adjusted her pack and trudged on. Her mother died in 1821, and Charlotte, her four sisters, Maria, Elizabeth, Emily and Anne, and her brother Branwell were left in the care of their aunt, Elizabeth Branwell. Feminism, Religion, and Class are constant themes through the novel where the eponymous Jane tells her own story. It is as powerful as ever - but is it really a l ove story, given Rochester's Svengali-tendencies, or is it a l ife story?
