Jane Eyre

When I read Jane Eyre, I was way too young. I hated the book because I was not old enough to really understand everything in it. It's very long, written in old english, and the plot is a little boring. But the characters are so amazing. Now, when I look back at the book, I realize that Jane was such a strong person, and she was so different from the usual women portrayed during that time. It was very interesting to see that type of life from an unprivledged, average girl when I'm used to looking through the eyes of pretty, wealthy girls in their beautiful carriages surrounded by all of their beaux. I understand now that I must go back and reread the book because I believe I can learn a lot from it.

  1. I really need to read this one! Chels was always saying how amazing it was and I feel like I'm missing out! By the way, 'beau' (or however you spell it) is one of my favorite words. Ever. :)
