The writing is great of course but i honestly saw the story more as horror than romance. Like this is absolutely not a relationship i'd want to end up in

I originally had rated this four stars because it really is very well written and it’s prose is beautiful. But after thinking about it a lot, I brought my reading down quite a bit. I really enjoy the character of Jane however it’s annoying that there were so many God awful human beings who were in charge of caring for her throughout her life.

Jane‘s family who was charged with taking care of her after her parents died terrible. At school, all of the kids are so malnourished that half of them die from an outbreak of typhus, and Jane’s one friend end up dying of consumption. There is also a teacher who accuses Jane of being secretly Jewish masquerading as a Christian. Like, if that were true, do you blame her for not wanting to deal with your antisemitism, lady? Mr. Rochester is an absolute bitch he’s married, but his wife goes nuts so he locks her in the fucking attic And pretends that she doesn’t exist then allegedly he’s super in love with Jane, but he lies to the other woman that he’s courting and finds out she’s a gold digger so then and only then does he profess that he loves Jane.

Later on, seeing the determination that Jane possesses, I was so hopeful that she would not settle for some shitty dude however

she almost takes up her COUSIN (yeah, yeah Victorian England, whatever) on a marriage proposal, but then ends up going back to goddamn Mr. Rochester, who has had his hand amputated and lost an eye and a housefire that his wife that he pretended didn’t exist before she jumped off the roof to her death.  Jane marries this man and spends the rest of her life, taking care of him and having his children. And then somehow he regains his vision back through the love of Jane’s heart.

  Anyway, I liked Jane and like 2 other characters. Everyone else sucks and I demand justice for the first Mrs. Rochester.

A classic gothic tale following the lonely life of Jane Eyre. Orphaned at a young age, raised by an abusive aunt, sent to boarding school, Jane finally sets out on her own to be governess at the remote Thornfield Hall, teaching the illegitimate daughter of the landowner, Mr. Rochester. But as Jane and her employer grow closer, strange things happen around them, threatening their happiness.

The source of the mad wife locked in the attic trope

, this story is full of mysterious intruige, strange servants, ghosts, and other supernatural phenomena that any gothic fan would love
