REVIEW // Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
★★★★★
I remember reading this when I was a (admittedly quite dumb) teenager and being absolutely blown away by Jane's personality and self-assuredness. I was all the more surprised that one of the dreaded summer reading books was... fun?? Reading this six (6!!!) years later, I am all the more appreciative of the protagonists' sardonic remarks. I think (judging from my first review) that when I was younger I treated this as a love story. After my reread, I find it is really more of an insight into the journey of Jane Eyre's life, showing us everything that made her and tested her resolve. I don't feel qualified to give a full review of this classic, so I'll end my rambling by sharing some of my favorite quotes:
“Do you doubt me, Jane?” “Entirely.” “You have no faith in me?” “Not a whit.”
“You examine me, Miss Eyre,” said he: “do you think me handsome?” I should, if I had deliberated, have replied to this question by something conventionally vague and polite; but the answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I was aware—“No, sir.”
“Am I hideous, Jane?” “Very, sir: you always were, you know.”
That's cold, Jane.
