Jane Eyre blog post
So far, I am enjoying Jane Eyre. It is starting to become really interesting! I'm particularly very interested in the evolving relationship between Rochester and Jane. At first I was skeptical about the character Rochester and his attitude towards Jane. I thought of him to be a man consisting strictly of business and anything for his own benefit. But since last night's reading, I have begin to see another side of Rochester and his mannerisms towards and around Jane. All of his (what I saw to be) bitterness, is turning to more of a sense of sarcastic, weird humor. As he pulls a chair close to him for Jane, and as he asks her to keep conversation with him, it all is beginning to show, maybe, bit of affection towards Jane. How he treats Adele compared to how he treats Jane, especially supports this theory. With Adele, he does not wish to hear of her talk about her presents and is constantly wanting her voice to be quiet. But with Jane he is urging completely the opposite, getting frustrated when he doesn't talk to him, for instance. As their relationship evolves, I'm hoping their feelings for each other will surface and become clearer. It hasn't failed to bore me so far and can't wait to see what happens next!
Hannah,
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are enjoying the novel--and especially that you are keying in on the evolving relationship between Jane and "her master" (I, too, enjoy but am at times perplexed by their engaging banter). I'm anxious to see what you think as this relationship unfolds!
I felt the same way as Mr.Rochester in the beginning, that he was rude and I agree we got to see a completely different side to him in the next chapter.
ReplyDeleteIt is kind of funny because I liked Rochester from the beginning although he was kind of rude. I also feel that he is even more interesting when he opens up to Jane and shows his real character which seems to be very complex and difficult but interesting. I can't wait to read more about how their relationship deverlops as well!
