Jane Eyre exhibits a disconcerting reality of the Victorian era from a feminine perspective. Hemmed in by society, orphaned and thrust to the ravages of fate but still retaining her Christian virtue and fighting for her beliefs Jane traverses a world opposed to everything she stands for.
But Jane is an epitome of religious virtue and refuses to despair ultimately traversing against all odds.
Overall, Bronte's narrative is labyrinthine. But it is also radical in how it conveys a sense of progression to the reader by the second half of the novel which reads like a Victorian thriller. With the hint of the supernatural to it, Jane Eyre is as tantalizing today as it was when it first fell upon Bronte's unsuspecting England.

it was okay i didn’t hate it. towards the end when the chapters had plot twists i liked it but then again eh. i felt like so much of it was predictable and it didn’t have to be that long. especially since the last chapter was like 5 pages. anyways a lot of words, long chapters, amazing audiobook

I think Jane is dumb for going back to him when he basically told her that he was going to ‘chain her up’ with jewellery. He is by far the most unlikable character I’ve ever come across in a bookGraphic: Racism
