Jane Eyre Comments and Thoughts
While I have read this book three times, on the third time 'round I am finding even more deeper meanings and secrets hidden among the literary work of Charlotte Bronte. While some may find Jane to be inspiring and independent, at time I find her stubborn and annoying. She seems somewhat mad at the world (understandable, given her childhood) and seems course. Through the meeting of Mr. Rochester though she begins to soften up, and is shown an entirely different array of emotions, which before she only thought attainable through art. She seems somewhat difficult, which may be frustrating to most men, but to Mr. Rochester it is entertaining and somewhat charming, as if to match his peculiar sense of humor. Overall, I am enjoying the book once again, which I think says a lot about the book if you are able to read it three times and not shoot yourself from boredom.

Glad you haven't shot yourself yet, Chambri. You know, Virginia Woolf made much the same claim about Jane--that her character was too angry. For my part, I see her stubbornness as something born out of principles that I admire.
