Jane Eyre is a mixed bag for me. At times the words can be very engaging and at other times I get so board that I don't even know what's happening because i feel there's just constant rambling! The relationship between Jane and Rochester I think is the most interesting thing in the book and that's not saying much. I thought things were going to get really get good when Helen died, but the story just kept on disappointing me. The story is very boring, its about plain Jane and her plain life. YEAH! I TOTALLY WANT TO READ THAT STORY!/sarcasm. I don't feel any thrill reading this book, i think i had more of a thrill reading "The Sun Also Rises" and that book is tough to read. The words don't flow well for me, it feels clunky and awkward. There are some good phrases, but in the end it just seems like there is almost too much words and too much description. To conclude i think Jane Eyre is holding back on its full potential of being really exciting. Personally every time i read this, I'm not excited to see what happens next, i feel things are just dragging on. I really hope this book starts picking up the pace because I'm loosing interest every time i read.
I agree with you 110 perecnt on the fact that this book can be really enaging yet also boing at times. It is defintely a "mixed bag." I do think it is exctitng about half the time and it does drag on. I think you will startt to enjoy the book a bit more because I think it will start to pick up.
ReplyDeletehahahaha yes!I can completely agree here! There is a lot of potential for the book to be exciting but sometimes the "plainness" of it causes me to lose attention and want more from it. But I think the novel isn't for everyone and certain people get more out of it because of Jane's character and not necessarily the excitement of the story.
ReplyDeleteim glad you agreed. i hope to dear god it does because we have another 300+ pages
ReplyDeleteThat is very disappointing indeed! This is a thrilling tale, but I guess that it definitely appeals more to the romantically inclined. I think that there is more to this book then Plain Jane and her plain life, you maybe just have to look a little deeper to find it.
ReplyDeletei guess this book is easier for the romantically inclined; its definitely alot harder for someone sees love as just chemical interactions in the brain (try looking up phenylethylamine, dopamine, oxytocin, and norepinephrine)
