Jane Eyre is a good book. It is well written, and has an interesting plot. Yet I cannot stand the endless and long descriptions of the surroundings. Yes I do like a good vivid image of the scene in my mind, but these descriptions loose my interest. On page 131 to 133, the description of the scene where Jane is sitting on the stile is too long. It takes away my focus and bores me. I think that the book would be more intersting if the scenes descriptions werent so long because it makes the book boring and slow. I do enjoy the narrative stance. It really enages me. I like the conversations between Rochester and Jane about their lives and ideas. I like the constant flow of talk because it keeps the book moving and keeps me hooked. Overall I do enjoy reading Jane Eyre.
One of the big scenes in Volume One is when Jane "un-horses" or un-mans Rochester. This paves the way for Jane's and Rochester's relationship throughout the book. This not only forces Rochester to lean on Jane for support, but he is forced to loose his manliness. Women tend to do this to man all the time. They always take away man's distinguishing characteristics. They take away man's like of rough, and free lifestyle. Men like to commit Sundays just for football, but a married man can't have that becuase of his wife. Men would prefer to go to sports bars and drink, yet are forced to go to a fancy bar and drink subtle wine with their lady. Women put restraint on men, and change who men like to be. Women make men fall under the spell of love, which makes a man forget who he is. I'm not saying that this is good or bad, buit is happens all the time as men are changed and un-horsed by the likeness of their women.

ReplyDeleteJ-Dawg! The extremely in-depth narratives of Jane's surroundings hold some of the most imperative meanings in the book! Not only do they bring us into her world, but provide us with her feelings whilst she associates herself with that world. We can know whether content satisfies her, or if she is stressed, melancholy, or full of ire through such descriptions. Get a hold of these AND LOVE THEM LIKE A WOMAN! Oh, my bad...women degrade men's happiness.
