Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre is a good book. personally, if I were reading for recreation i would read something with more action. I like Jane because I feel that she sees everything for what it is, with an unbiast opinion and is not blind to anything. She is like a little ball of fire ready to explode at anytime. When she does let lose she always has enough fuel for her fire and continues to prove her case until she has proven her full point. She has a horrible life but i dont think she knows it because she has never had a good life. I think that her life will get better and more interesting, especially with Mr. Rochester around.

Jane drew the short straw on life, since the beginning of the book when she is hidden behind the curtain reading, she has never had the upper hand in any situation. First appearances are continuously horrible for her. Her interview with Mr. Brocklehurst was ruined for her by Mrs. Reed saying she was a naughty girl which in turn had a bad effect on her experience in Lowood. later on in the book after she unmans Mr. Rochester and they are back at Thornfield Mr. Rochester comments pretty harshly on everything that Jane has to offer(piano playing, her paintings etc.) later on he tells her that she is not pretty. Even later in the book when all the fine people are at Thornfield the women not only ignore her presents but say "she looks too stupid to play" and have a full conversation on how governesses are a waste and a "nuisance".
