I enjoyed this upon initial read so much more than "Wuthering Heights." I have come to love that book also, but I think "Jane" is superior. The tone and the overall narrative are easier to follow and more engaging from the beginning. I didn't know much about the plot and I was really surprised by the twists!

3/5 bilemiyorum??? yazıldığı zamanı düşününce çok eleştirmek adil olmuyor ama yine de sonlara doğru hikayenin kalitesi düştü. jane karakterini gerçekten sevmesem bu puanı bile vermezdim doğruya doğru.

My thoughts:
1. I loooove the book. I loved many aspects of Jane Eyre from various themes explored to the process of building the atmosphere in the novel. I am not a big fan of religious allusions in any novel, so the overabundance of the intertextuality concerning the Christianity disrupted my enjoyment of the book a bit. That is probably the only thing I had problems with.
2. I liked the Jane´s character a lot. She was different... strong, independent, decisive, kind and true to herself and her values.
3. The only thing I wish was explored more is the Jane´s decision at the end to marry Rochester and the happy resolution of the novel. Was it possible for Jane to marry Rochester only because of his disabilities and her acquired wealth, or was it because she grew and developed and found her freedom in the marriage?

“As I exclaimed ‘Jane! Jane! Jane!’ a voice—I cannot tell whence the voice came, but I know whose voice it was—replied, ‘I am coming: wait for me;”
I need to read more classic romances. They give me such a cozy and warm feeling that no other genre can give.

This was crazy. Obviously, I wish Jane didn't end up with Rochester at the end, but I thought the plot was really interesting. I truly never knew what was coming next. Bertha was such an interesting character (or really lack of a character) and I'm tempted to read "Wide Sargasso Sea" now. Ending things by burning down the house was a real baptism by fire.
