Got hooked from the very beginning. Jane Eyre is a brave and strong female protagonist. She's direct, strong willed and independent. She was also surrounded by interesting characters. I loved witnessing her growth from a resentful child to a remarkable woman. It was always astonishing when people with unstable foundations grow to be wonderful people.
Am I the only one who hate Mr. Rochester and St. John? 'Cause it was extremely annoying how they try to rule Jane's life. Like, come on. Mr. Rochester has not been transparent with Jane about his status. He even tried to guilt trip her into marrying him. Then there's St. John who seems to be the master of gaslighting. Was it the difference in period that I find all these really frustrating? Was this common in during their time? Daaaaaaaaaaamn. I swear my annotations were full of exclamation marks and letters all caps.
Did I like the ending? Probably not. Go figure.
