More of... Jane Eyre

Despite my last two reviews of this book
I must say that I'm finally begining to enjoy this book.
I can see why this was such a hit with readers at that time.
I guess you really have to put yourself in the position of the characters
and that isn't possible without getting well into the book.
Romances don't appeal to me that much
but I can say that this is kind of like a different type of novel.
It's very hard to describe.
But once you get into the book
it's easy to understand what I'm talking about
I'm up to chapter 25 right now
and recently in the story
Rochester is preparting to get married to Blanche.
And Jane wonders how her emotions will react when she sees him with this other woman.
Jane swears that she has never loved a man like this.

In the next chapter, while they are both alone
they profess their love for one another.
Rochester even proposes to Jane.
He says that God approves this marriage so it doesnt matter what the rest of the world thinks.
While they are kissing under a tree
Jane notices Mrs. Fairfax watching them.

Jane is still baffled by the fact that this marriage is taking place despite their age and social differences.

Still... Jane Eyre

Against my will,
I've continued to read Jane Eyre.
I've gotten a little used to the way the characters and narrorater speak but I still feel very distant from the book.
I find myself kinda drifting away from the book.
Theres like 400 pages
and i've only finished about 150
so I have a long way to go.

So far in the book,
Jane is a 10 year orphan who lives with a family.
She feels very unappreciated and everyone around her thinks she is useless.
One of the boys in her foster family, John, is very abusive and always abuses her.
Somehow or another, Jane is always held responsible.

When Jane is banished to the "red room" as punishment,
she talks to Mr. Reed.
Mr. Reed was the landlord of the manor until he died.
He was the only one who had some respect for Jane and she missed him dearly.

At a doctors advice,
Jane is to be sent away to school.
Jane is more than excited to be leaving the home.
She overheard 2 of the other servants talking about her real family.
She learns that her father was a very very poor man who got married against his family's wishes.
Because of that,
his family disowned him.
Soon after Jane's father caught Typhus and spread it to his wife.
They both died, leaving jane behind.


So thats what happened in the chapters I've read.
I love the idea behind this book.
I just don't like the way it is being carried out.
Hopefully it'll get more exciting later.

Jane Eyre

I've started reading my new book for the english independent reading project.
Its a classic called Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.
I haven't read that much yet.
Honestly, I find it really boring.
Maybe because I find it soo incredibly hard to connect with the language they use.
But I think the plot of the story is really interesting.
Its just the way the plot was carried out.

Its about a young girl who falls in love with her boss.

Maybe it will get more interesting later.
However, as of now,
its really a struggle to enjoy reading it

I heard they have a Jane Eyre movie
Maybe if I watch it as I read it
the text will be easier to analyze and understand
