I’m glad to have finished because 1) it’s finally over and 2) I can say I’ve read Jane Eyre! I maybe should’ve DNFd but I was stubborn and kept hoping it would get better with how many people love it. I had an especially hard time towards the end when the story takes a large turn and Jane’s story became really slow/tedious.
Now please enjoy the majority of my random thoughts that played on a loop throughout:

Fascinating writing and character work. Jane Eyre is one of my favourite characters, you can truly feel the time and love that Charlotte Brontë put into her.
Moderate: Fire/Fire injury
