Jane Eyre

I have a love-hate relationship with Jane Eyre. I love this book but i grow impatient very fast with Jane. I want her to break out of herself and show the world what she thinks. My favorite part of the book is still when she stands up against Mrs.Reed and tells her off. Jane is a very passionate and intelligent woman but she doesn't show this to the world. I know of course that in this time period it would be frowned upon but i want her to come into herself and show the world what she's made of. I don't like how impassive she is and how she just seems to bottle it all up inside. I want to see her own her power and potential. But sometimes i like her calm and cool disposition. She is always thinking, which is another reason i absolutely love her. She always searches deeper into the world and investigates it with her mind. Even when she was young she would rather go off in the corner and explore the world through books and stories than play with the others.
Also i love how the book flows. I love the language of Jane Eyre, the way they speak challenges my vocabulary and expands it in the process. I love finding words that i don't know and having to look them up. Then i love when the moment comes when i use that word for the first time when talking to a friend or writing a paper. I want to do one of those cheesy "fist in the air jumps" from movies when the hero succeeds.
After Jane left Lowood i was very excited to see where she would go and what she would do. When she arrived at Thornfield i was a little upset( i was expecting something greater from her) but i began feeling differently when Rochester came into the picture. Though at first he isn't the kindest man towards her, with time he begins to open up and you can see their feelings for each other. This is where i start to grow impatient, not with Jane, but with Rochester. He is a complicated man with a dark past so he is very shut out and doesn't let the world in. I want him to drop it and just tell Jane how he feels. I wanted to throw my book when he said "Good-night my-" and did not finish. If i could i would have jumped into the book and bopped him on the nose and demanded he finish the sentence. But seeing how life is not a cartoon i will have to wait.
So as for my opinion of the book so far, while the beginning was a bit slow, i can feel the pace picking up and i cannot wait to see where it goes from here.
