Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
3.0
This read was better than I thought it would be but it wasn't as good as some people claimed.
The story was flowing at the beginning, I kinda liked Jane too. She was a bit annoying-considering she was a kid that's understandable - yet relatable. Unfortunately I didn't like so called coincidence of her finding hersel at the doorstep of her only living relatives, the fact that she never thought of going to see her uncle in her desperation doesn’t seem realistic either, her relationship with Mr. Rochester was the worst of all. They didn't make sense even as friends, let alone lovers, not to mention Mr. Rochester was being total d*** about Miss Ingram-I mean even he wasn't I still didn't like him but whatever.
I loved when Jane chose to go away though the way she did it was simply dumb, but at least she had the self-respect to not remain where she didn't belong. I mean any person with little logic wouldn't stay with a guy who hid his previous marriage when his wife was literally living right above his lover. While he was pitiful in his agony, he didn't deserve pity with the way he acted. I just wish I didn't have to constantly read about how Jane kept thinking of Mr. Rochester and at the end she even went and married him.
Now, I think, not every story needs romance. Jane Eyre would be more pleasing and inspiring book if it was about a independent woman living by herself and discovering her passions in life. She was doing well enough as a school mistress, I just can't understand why she had to go back and look for him. Smh.
Well I'm glad that I read this book, however I would not like to do it again. It's a good enough read but that's all about it.
