Jane Eyre is a mix between a romantic and a gothic story. It was a bit long, but the story was interesting. The main character, Jane, is also the narrator and to me it helpS me as a reader to understand the feelings and struggles of Jane. The fact that all the story is focused on the psychologicaL and moral growth from her youth to her adult life, makeS this book a coming of age story. The love story written by Charlotte Brontë is against the principles of the era: the importance of social class, the gender role and the place of the religion in the society.
During all the story, Jane is determined and wants to be an independent and strong willed.
What I've loved, is the fact that we can observe Jane through the different stages of her life, and we see all the obstacles that se had to overcome. I found that Jane was very strong because she never gives up and wants to stay true to herself, her conditions and her principles.

At the begining of the story, Jane is living with her aunt and her cousins, at Gateshead. She was living a very hard life and she was mistreated. There was an episode that I found very shocking, it's the episode of the red room. Jane is locked into the room where her uncle died by her aunt who hates her.  It was a very cruel event for the reader, and very shocking. This event is a trigger element, because after this it was the first Jane's FIRST rebellion, the first time she stands up herself.
The second passage that marked me is the episode of the lunatic in the attic. The moment when we learned about the exisTENCE of Bertha Manson and the fact that Rochester is married. It's a turning point for the love story. The author used the character of Bertha to convey some messages. In fact, Bertha Manson is a mad woman, se was locked into the attic during several years because of her madness and she is dangerous. But instead just being a mad woman she represents slavery, because she comes from the colonies, and arranged marriage of that time.

The character of Helen Burns:
Helen xas a friend of Jane at the orphenage of Lowood. But she die of a diseas during her childhood. Helen is passive and accepting, she embodies christian ideas of love and forgiveness. Jane is different and rebels herself. She hace a strong sensitivity to injustices and doesn't understand Helen's point of view. Through the years she will understand and will become more passive that's why Helen was a very important character for the story and her existance helps Jane to finally grow and finds herself.
The orphenage was an important place for her life too. Her life at Lowood is a very important stage to her self-construction. She is growing, learning, getting educated through the daily harship of Lowood.

With that episodes of which I speak, we can all guess that this story is very full of twists and turn and eventful. This is something that I've liked despite the fact that the story was long.
It's a novel with a lot of suspense, and it makes you want to read until the end to find out what happens and how it finally ends. It deals with some important subjects and denounces problemes of this era. like the emancipation of women, their place in the Victorian society, social classes struggles ans the hardship of growing  up and affirm himself.

I appreciated reading Jane Eyre, at the beginning I was scared because it was long and sometimes it can be hard to understood but Jane Eyre was written with different parts for each place and it really helped me to understand it.
The story was full of emotions, sometimes we were happy and sometimes we felt pain for Jane. Across the story we met a lot of people and I loved some like Helene or Adele but I hate some others to like john or Mr Brocklehurst I think they were here to be hated. My favortite passage was when Bertha tried to kill Rochester, I know that can look strange but i really loved the way that Charlotte Bronte had written this, we didn't have any clues and I really wanted to read the next to discover who did it.
I loved Jane because she was really strong minded, she was always confronted to a dilemma and she wasn't influenced by other people.
If you understand the plot and what Bronte wants to convey you will love it and will think about it.

Jane Eyre was a surprise : I was expected nothing and that was actually not that bad.

Let's start with some negative points. I did not like the characters, they were too normal, not original at all but it makes sense as the novel was written a long time ago so at the time, they may have stood out. The only character I actually liked was Adèle because I thought she was quite fun. I also liked Helen, but she is dead so I think she does not really count. I did not really like some plot twists as Rochester's previous mariage or when Jane left Gateshead because that was not realistic in a quite realistic novel (if we do not count the ghosts and supernatural creatures that Jane seems to see). When I was reading, I was like "nobody would do that...". The last thing I did not like was the romance between Jane and Rochester because that was not natural. When I was reading, I found that it was forced as if it was an obligation to have a romance in the novel. I thought Rochester and Jane were not meant for eachother but then while reading I started to like their conversations and I had to admit that actually they were quite cute but still, I am not fond of this romance. But as when I am reading, I try to have in mind what the writer wants me to have, I wanted them to be together.

There are lots of good points in this novel too, of course, otherwise it would not be a classic I guess. I liked the places with puns as names that was quite fun and they were greatly described so we had the impression to be in those places with them and often when a novel is immersive, it is a good novel. I liked the supernatural events too, I think they were just in Jane's head because it seems quite obvious that she should see a psychologist because of her visions and because of her past and current trauma and I would have preferRED if they were real, but actually, it added a dimension that I really liked, as I am a huge fan of ghosts and supernatural creatures. The end was quite good too, I like the happy endings when everyone is happy and has what they dreamed of and, even if Rochester is injured, I feel like they are finally where they want to be, with who they want. I knew the ending before reading because I always check the last pages before startING a novel to be sure it is a happy ending but after reading, I can say that they deserve their ending. I liked the presence of karma too : Rochester did not act well towards Jane, he got hurt, Jane was mistreated by a rich family, she became rich...And I like when people have what they deserve and are not excused for the story or I do not know what reason.

To sum up my impression on Jane Eyre, that was rather good, too long but quite good. I liked the setting and the end but I did not like the characters, the romance and some plot twists. So, I have a mixed opinion.

I have such a mixed feeling about Jane Eyre. The fact that Charlotte Brontë gives a modern vision of love is quite revolutionary and that makes this novel a symbol of feminism trough time.
Jane is an exAmple of resilience, she overcomes all obstacles to become her true self. The passage of Lowood was for me quite hard to read but I really see its necessity. I see it as a criticism of hypocrisy of religious norms and its hardship is justified to prove that point.
The love story between  Jane and Mr. Rochester has my entire attention at the beginning but I found the end quite disappointing.
I mean, the fact that Jane find a way to live with her soulmate without being locked as a governess doesn't depend on her, she only takes advantage of fate. I would have liked to see her emancipation without any man to really prove that it is possible.
But for the time, we can be GRATEFUL ??recognizing towards Charlotte Brontë and take HER as an example her courage. EXPLAIN MORE

It was quite hard for me to read Jane Eyre as a whole but there were some passages that I liked, for example when Jane was sent to the red room or when she went to Lowood and later met Helen Burns. What I especially liked about it is the Gothic aspect and the fact that we can guess Jane's feelings since it's her point of view. She isn't a boring character without personality that we, readers, have to deal with during the whole story and what I also really liked,  she has a personality and quite a strong one to say the least.

Though later in the story I grew a little bored even if there are exceptions like whenever the lunatic in the attic did something in the story, but even though, I'm not very fond of when she burnT down all Thornfield because I kind of hoped she would get a peaceful death and wouldn't die jumping of a window with Rochester trying to save her. It showed one of his good sides but forcing Bertha to survive even though her madness makes her life a living hell, it kind of sounds weird to me. I also didn't really appreciate when Jane met Rochester but I liked how she described him at first and the fact that Rochester was somehow messing with her a little bit by not revealing who he really was for a while. Mostly the things that bothered me in this book are how long this novel is (I find it hard to remember everything because of that) and the fact that I find some chapters uninteresting but it's only a matter of taste.

For the end of the novel I'm not really sure what to think about it, I AM not a fan of stories about love unless there is paranormal stuff everywhere to keep me invested in it. Rochester's and Jane's love story kind of FELL ??felt out of the gothic genre at some point, it felt down-to-earth which somehow opposes the paranormal events that were occurring in the novel. But their love story on its own is pretty good I think, I'm also kind of ashamed for this but when Jane comes back to Rochester while he became blind it made laugh as it reminded me of a "guess who" which is when someone behind you hides your eyes with his hands and tries to make you guess who they are. So yes, I kind of liked this part. But I think personally that the best thing about their relationship is that even if the situation they were in wasn't ideal and in a bad timing, Jane took the right decision by leaving him but it didn't mean they missed their love of their life as when it got better, they came back to each other and lived an happily ever after.

To end this note and to write about this novel in a more distant point of view, this wouldn't have been a book I would have willingly bought if it wasn't for my scholarship's sake, but it doesn't mean I will hate on this novel because it's actually good. In fact I like it for it is an important pro-feminist novel and for a more personal opinion, I like the fact that it happens in the Victorian Era because before really knowing what happened during this era, I knew it only through clothes that were made at that time which is why I liked this time-period before even knowing it. Jane Eyre teachES us more about how women were treated at that time and also gives us another vision on marriages and religion (just like The Importance of Being Earnest taught us about how high society live, in a satirical way of course). That's why I think Jane Eyre is a good book but having so little time to read it was kind of a problem as it is a lot to read and even if I started before working on it I already had forgotten half of the novel which is kind of a problem.

# data[].attributes.body
To be honest at the outset, I HAD have a lot of difficultIES with that kind of story. A woman who wants to become independent and emancipate herself despite the difficulties It is a theme that I personally encounter TOO OFTEN in the fictions I watch, I do not say that I do not like this kind of story. I’m just saying that IT IS TOO COMMON A THEME I meet him often and I’m afraid that at some point IT MAY NOT BE EFFICIENT ANYLONGERt’ll make me no effect.
And strangely, I love Jane Eyre! There are many reversals/PLOT TWISTS. I immediately embraced the atmosphere and development of Jane Eyre. The red room really makes me feel UNCOMFORTABLE bad, and the fact that it’s evolving with this scene is a huge surprise to me. I personally preferred to study Jane Eyre in class because I understood MANY full of double meaningS and symbolism S that I had not seen at my first reading.
The gothic atmosphere really helped me get into the book as well as my sympathy for the character of Jane Eyre.
I liked how Currer Bell finally I mean Charlotte Brontë uses the terrifying to denounce Victorian society with the character of Bertha Mason AKA alias the woman in the attic totally in opposition TO between Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre to many evolves ???well in the story while bertha Mason is the opposite and finds herself trapped in the attic. The attic lookS like the red room. We see that Rochester is a victim of society. (HOW?)CHarlotte brontë offers in HIS LIFE ??its history??? a type of alternative marriage that resembles ours. Imagine how innovative it is for this period of history.
Yeah, so I guess I have to talk about romance. I like romance in a story. But in this story, I’m not sure about the relationship between Rochester and Jane Eyre. Yes, I like the character of Jane Eyre and Rochester is difficult for me. So a theme I like in Jane Eyre is "how men love your personality and your unique aspect, but when you are in couple, it prefers to hide your unique aspect to be "equals"
And with the evolution of Jane Eyre, I might have preferred to see Jane Eyre without needing love and man. She can live alone and without problems. I would have liked this end. But the end with Jane eyre and Rochester living in harmony. and hoo watch Rochester find by MAGIC his second eye (yes I know it’s stylistic he found his half, because the eye and reflection of the soul and a couple is a peer as our eyes ) and at the end jane and rochester have a child who has the same eyes as his father.
it is very complicated for me, when we know the morality of a woman who refuses the determinism of an unjust and patriarchal society to fully assume her life. When you think about it, it’s a good ending for Jane Eyre. She loves Rochester and feels the same way. Technically, Charlotte Brontë offers a new kind of society where marriage is based on love. It’s a good message and maybe a story where a woman wants to become totally independent without the man would be great. but to say that you cannot be happy with a man who loves you and be totally fulfilled with him and equal would be lying. An independent woman does not necessarily mean a single woman.

I love Jane Eyre, it’s very inspiring, personally I used a lot of narratives elements of this story to improve mine. I am really not disappointed with my reading even though deep down I still feel empty.????
It is an exceptional pro-feminist work that I recommend to everyone.

I found story was very long with too MANY UNNECESSARY much detailS not really useful that DO does not really MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE give to continue reading but by forcing myself a little I found the story very interesting, despite THE FACT that I didn't love all the characters, includING ed Jane. We see Jane Eyre growing up and we have a clear picture of her way of thinking. A "feminist" as the main character in the time of Charlotte Brontë is something that stands out from other stories of the Victorian era, knowing that the author is a woman. She is questioning her society, especially the women’s place and can still today be an important figure in feminism. Jane Eyre is a classic that can open our minds to many things. What I found really interesting was the fact that we can make a connection between the author's life and Jane, two women fighting for their independence. The story starts to be interesting to me AFTER when it comes out of Lowood, when the romance part of the book really begins.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm going to say what I think about Charlotte Brontë's novel, Jane Eyre.

I haven't liked the novel, indeed, I think Jane Eyre is too much; too long, with too many places, too many characters, too MANY much plot twistS… Also the story takes place in the Victorian Era and I don't like the gothic atmosphere and the style of writing. I also don't like the aspect of "love story" between Rochester and Jane Eyre.

However, I really like the autobiographical aspect and Jane in herself and HER his personality. In fact, the personality of Jane is very interesting, she is strong and obstinate although she has a harsh life. Also the evolution of her personality really touched me, for example the difference of HER his personality between HER his before and after her meeting with Helen Burns is very important and shows her power.

To finish, the end disappointed me because IT is not realistic and too much expected

What twists and turns, what knots in the plot, what delightfully sketched characters! Jane Eyre is a dense novel, but this is a real quality because this density allows one to remain immersed for a long time in this story that one does not want to leave. The reader finds himself sad to be finished with Jane; he is sad to leave this orphan with rare human qualities and paroxysmal kindness; he is sad that the novel does not have, despite its consistency, a few hundred more pages. Charlotte Brontë's incomparably fine writing has a lot to do with the emergence of this "positive" melancholy when the book is closed.

But Jane Eyre is also a feminist novel written at a time when it was frowned upon for a woman to advertise herself as such: it is not by chance that the volume was first published under a male pseudonym (Currer Bell). By imagining an independent female character who decides to take her destiny into her own hands, Charlotte Brontë was not only to become one of the greatest figures of English literature, but also to become a precursor of feminist and female writing, inspiring entire generations of female novelists.

Add to this a critique of Victorian society that stigmatized and confined women in its conventions, and you get an indispensable novel. One more masterpiece of 19th century English literature!

I just finished Jane Eyre, and...I don't really know what to think, honestly. I guess I'm not FOND found of this novel.

I'm not a fan of romance in general, but I can say it is a good pro-feminist story, and to me, the gothic aspects felt kind of weak, if not for the red room scene, the description of Thornfield at first sight and mention of the Gytrash, they were mostly visual premonitory elements.

At first, I felt a bit uneasy with Rochester's way of talking, especially towards Jane. Although it might be to focus on her responses to show she's an independEnt woman, and the build up for their growth as characters. It was a little weird to have Jane be in Love with someone twenty years older than her, because even though both are passionate, I felt that it undermined the idea that she's independEnt as it reminds me of the fact that most of the time, arranged marriages for daughters are set for them to be married to men much older than them back in the days. But that might be just me, as It's clear that there's a reversal of gender roles in the end.
I did like some aspects, such as the gloomy forest-like description given to Thornfield, and it was satisfying to see Jane finally standS up for herself against the Reeds after what she's been through.
I don't know what to say about the twist (the Lunatic in the Attic), but I like how the revelation of Grace Poole's creepy laugh actually belonged to Bertha Mason, and the reason Grace was there was to complete duties regarding the Lunatic.

Honestly, I don't know if reading that book was such an experience, as i figured the events pretty slowly with all the details. But i do have to say that when the story is made more clear, it becomes more interesting. It was not the best for me, but i enjoyed this subject in class quite a bit, especially since interpretation comes first when analyzing certain aspects. I did say that I thought the gothic elements weren't that noticeable in my opinion, but I liked giving takes on the described details studied in class.

I have just finished to read Jane Eyre and I have more or less likeD the NOVEL

In fact i think that the book is really interesting and the topicS THAT ARE TACKLED  approached like the place of women in victorian era is very attractive. Indeed the author, Charlotte Brontë ALSO WRITES speak also about arranged marriageS which, at the time in the victorian era, was recurrent and i like the fact that she speaks about important topicS through her story. She insists on the bad treatment of Bertha who is considered like mad. But we can ask if her madness comeS from her old life ???and the fact that she didn’t have any choice about her life. I also love the evolution of Jane through all the novel. We saw her as a kid who was lost without family but at the end, we see a Jane who is confident and she knows what she wants.

But some pointS are also negative like the fact that the old jane describeS everything and that’s make the reading very low. I just didn’t like this but all the rest was very good.

At first I wasn’t really enjoying the reading of Jane Eyre (like some of my classmates I could see) so I started to watch some series and movies about it, and it made me realise that the story wasn’t that bad. The plot made me forget really fast about the length of the novel, and the different topics discussED in it were really interesting. I loved the fact that there was some supernatural events, because it’s one of my favorite subject, and of course I really enjoy the romance, because it’s my favorite genre of lecture ever. Even if the age gap between Jane and Rochester was a bit impressive, the fact that it was normal at THAT this time made me forget it (even if it shouldn’t have been normalized).
Jane is impressively mature for her age, and it WAS SURELY came due to her rough past, because she had to take care of herself.
I think it helped with the relationship she builTd with Rochester.
The growing of their relation WAS were probably my favorite parts of the novel, because it was really interesting to see them struggle and learn some side of love. It made me realise that true love does exist, even if it’s a novel, and that no matter what happened, soulmates are made to be found.
My favorite moment was the first kiss of Jane and Rochester, because this moment was a mix between humor, anger and passion, and i found it really cute.

Thanks to the llce class, I am now able to understand the hardship of Jane’s life, and that she really wanted to be independent. I think that I wouldn’t be able to understand all the feminist acts that were present in the novel without the llce class. In a way, I feel like it’s a life lesson, it teaches us love, hard life conditions in establishment like Lowood, the importance of being surrounded by people that we love etc.
The fact that in the victorian era was made a novel WAS WRITTEN which discuss about the inequalities and the will of equality from women is amazing, it shows that women have always wanted to be considered as human, not as « just women ». But the fact that Charlotte Brontë had to publish under the name of a man is actually pretty sad, because it remindS us that even with the strongest will of equality, women had to be careful and smart to « live » like a man.

To be honest, I wouldn’t have READ reading it ON MY OWN WILL from myself, but I really enjoyed studying it in class. I discovered a great lecture. I can almost say that it may have been one of my favorite studied work during school.

I loved reading and studying the novel Jane Eyre, at the beginning of the novel I found that there was an interesting plot that motivated me to continue reading because the book is very big and to be honest I'm not used to reading such a big novel in English...

I particularly appreciated the fact that we see Jane's evolution throughout the novel, Charlotte Brontë insisted on the feminism that Jane represents in history and this element was respected and highlighted in the beginning to the end of the novel.

At first I didn’t like Mr. Rochester’s character at all, I found him too pretentious and too mysterious to be an honest person I didn't trust in this character and finally I liked him and I discovered him through the novel.

For me, this novel was a beautiful discovery and a total immersion in the Victorian era followed by an interesting story with a great feminist theme and personally I love this type of reading we never get bored !

Hi, I just finished reading Jane Eyre and I’m going to give you my general impressions about it.

So, first of all I would say that I, for the most part liked the NOVEL book. Indeed, I really liked that this romance had a lot of gothic elements in it: Jane’s encounter with the ghost of her late Uncle Reed in the red-room, the moment of supernatural communication between Jane and Rochester when she hears his voice calling her, and Jane mistaking Rochester’s dog for a “Gytrash,” a spirit of North England that manifests itself as a horse or dog. I think this kind of mysterious atmosphere really entertains us as readers.

I also enjoyed reading this novel because I admire Jane for her strength, indeed she had such a complicated life. She is an orphan and she has no family other than the Reeds who treat her very poorly and even abuse her, then she is sent to a school where again she is mistreated and where people are prejudiced about her and where her only friend dies to finally fall in love with a man who is socially above her and who, what’s more is already married. But even after that she has the strength to stay true to her own principles and leave him to “find” herself and finally she is able to come back to her lover when everything is in harmony with her beliefs. I really admire and respect her because she is able to find happiness after having such a harsh life and because of the fact that she is happy because of herself. Indeed, she wanted to be Rochester’s equal morally and socially without that she could not marry him and she finds happiness in the thought of marrying him. And because he is the one she loves and because it makes her happy to marry him she decides on her own will after she can finally be considered his equal socially speaking to marry him. And we as readers are happy because I think we all know she deserves a happy ending after what she went through.

Overall, though, I really enjoyed this novel, their age gap even if it was maybe common during the time bothered me a lot. I mean maybe it’s not the essential point in the story but while watching movie adaptations it disturbed me even more but I guess it contributes to the fact that the love and the bond Jane and Rochester share is unconventional and confrontational. I also didn’t like how their relationship was built; indeed, I have very mixed feelings about the beginning of their relationship because of their age gap but also how Rochester lies to her and seems to be a little manipulative. He is so rude and unwelcoming he seems to be caring about nobody but himself and I didn’t like that I think their relationship seemed really unhealthy.

Through this novel Charlotte Brontë shows that she is ahead of her time because she denounces social norms and especially the condition of women and the poor. Some quotes of this novel are really famous, the one that striked me the most is "I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will, which I now exert to leave you." because it really shows Jane’s strength.

So, in the end I advise you to read this novel as it is a classic but it is also really entertaining and inspiring to see jane, a woman during the Victorian era having power.

I have just fnished the famous novel Jane Eyre and I am really surprised !

When I started the book I found it boring maybe because of the characters or the Victorian atmosphere but in the middle I entered into the story because I was feeling quite sad for Jane and I started to understand her feelings and she became like a friend who tells us her secrets and story. I also liked the character of Mister Rochester because of his evolution, at first he seems weird and cold but after we  started to know him and see that he is not like he seems to be and I really like this type of character. Finally, I liked reading Jane Eyre because it’s a novel which IS talks about feminism and the women’s conditions during the Victorian Era. The perception of Charlotte Brontë is unique because she is WRITING talking about free women’s choice even if their choice is to marry a man and I think that it’s exactly what feminism is. So I would say that my favorite part of the book is the end because we see that Jane decided to marry Mr Rochester because she loves him and because now she found the independEnce that she was looking for before (her uncle’s legacy). And Charlotte Brontë, with this passage, highlights her idea of feminism.

To conclude I was not really convinced at first but when I entered the story I liked it. Moreover the gothic atmosphere is something that I love and some elements in Jane Eyre are gothic so it helps me to enjoy the novel.

# data[].attributes.body
When I started Jane Eyre, I had preconceptions, I am not a fan of the Victorian Age, the gothic etc...

And when I read the extract and I saw  "feminist novel" on the back cover, I was like WHAT??? but after reading it I knew why it's called a feminist novel.

During her all childhood, Jane suffered from the otherS that decide for her, but after going to Thornfield she started a new life, where she was independent and needED no one to live until she meets Mr Rochester.

I was particularly touched by the passage of the proposal of Mr. Rochester, also when she refused to be married with St John and when she FOUND find back Mr. Rochester AGAIN.

Indeed, during the proposal, Jane showed so many emotions, we can see her as particulary shocked and she didn't believe what Rochester said. Jane always lived a harsh life, nobody love her, nobody shows her affection, she was living a dream that she can't believe.

Then, an other man proposes to Jane but in contrary TO of Rochester, this one is just an arranged marriage where Jane will feel like in a prison, deprived of her liberty. She hastened to say no because of the Rochester's voice that call her and that she wanted to find.

To finish, thanks to Miss Fairfax, she found Rochester back, many month after not seeing him, she still loveS him the same way. She was not dependent on him anymore, they had the same social classand now she was able to make him a promise to help and love him for the rest of their lives.

I find that as the story progresses Jane reveals herself and we see more and more the feminist side, and contrary to what I thought at the beginning, I really enjoyed this story and the character of Jane who takes her revenge on life and what she suffered from.

I have just finished Jane Eyre, and this book describes perfectly the situation of a lot of people in the Victorian Era, like the no independency of women, or forced marriages , by combining love story and ghotic genre together.
The life of Jane Eyre can be  SUMMED UPremain in two words : harsh and unique. Harsh because of her chilhood, these scars that carve her heart and mind about the comportement of her aunt, cousins, mostly John, against her, of her trauma in the Red-Room, of Lowood, wHere she experienced a harsh education, the moment were she was being embarassed infront everyone in school because of Mr Brocklehurst, the death of her friend Helen Burns, when Miss Temple left Jane to be with her husband, and of course, when she loved Rochester and wanted to marry him but she felt betrayed when she knew that he was already married to someone else, and she left him. But she also had some great moments when she met Helen Burns and Miss Temple at Lowood, when she met Rochester, her master, the man she falls in love with and when they meet again at the end to spend their entire life together, in love. Even if Jane Eyre lived a difficult life, this story also shows a clever and determined woman, who HOPES TO attend to have freedom and to be independent, like she tries to be during the beginning of the novel.
Her whole attitude towards what she will faced in her life, and why she wants to be free and independent depends on what she lived when she was younger : because of the life with her aunt and cousin, and at Lowood. The Red-Room is one of the most important part of the novel, and will be a traumatic moment of her life throughout the story which she will gains strenght from it to overcome hardships; the moment where she will see Bertha Mason, the wife of Mr.Rochester. We can see similarities between Jane and Bertha, they were locked in a room, they are women, but Bertha can embody Jane's passion, because Bertha can't and doesn't want to lock her passion inside of her, and they see her like a crazy animal for that, and Jane needs to lock her passion to enter the role of women in the Victorian society and with that, Charlotte Brontë critizices the role women must HAVE do.
Charlotte Brontë denounces injustices and revendications through some passages of the book like bullying the poorest people in the beginning with John, the conditions Jane lived in Lowood, the conditions of wives in marriage and of course, the rules between poor and rich because they have differents social ranges.
I have loved the passage where she says Rochester saying : " I am no bird ; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with and independent will, which I now expert to leave you." and " Do you think I am a machine without feelings ? [...]  Do you think because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, I am soulless and heartless ? [...] I have as much soul as you, - and full as much heart! [...] and we stood at God's feet, equal, - as we are ! " and when she leaves him to be independent. Here, Charlotte Brontë shows an injustice between men and women, and poor and rich people, saying that we aren't really differents between each other, we are equal, because we have all a heart, a soul, feelings, mind, and we all love, no matter who we are. She's showing women that they don't need to be held by men to live, they are free and independent like men, they are equal.
She also describes everything, sometimes to O much for me, like in Lowood, she is telling every details, even if it's nothing, but at the end, where I was waiting to have a lot of details, she SUMS UP resumes in short, saying " Reader, I married him.", " I have now been married ten years. I know what ... ", i was a little shocked and sad because i thought that she will describes her wedding, like she always did, with her impressions of her dress, of him, but no, the most important part of her life, for me, is like nothing for her, even if she always said she wouldn't marry someone, because she wanted to be free, and here, she changed her mind and married him, and she didn't said someting like : "  Reader, you can ask why I changed my mind about marrying someone. I always said I wanted to be free, marriages was a way to locked myself away from my will, but when I am with Rochester, he sees me like his equal, and I don't fear mariages anymore because I am free and independent when I am with him... ". And I am sad because she describes the end of her life, and the end of the novel like :" Ohh, I forgot to tell you. Ten years later, we are always married, we are very happy together, I love him and he loves me. ", but, again, it's just my opinion.
To conclude, I didn't really like this novel for what i said about the details, and the end, but with the gothic genre, her love story is more attractive and makes, for me, a need to know Rochester's secret. In my opinion, back in time, it was a very good way to spread awareness and denunciations about injustice in the Victorian Era this novel, because everyone can read it, and it can also contribute with our evolution because we can see similarities with what she was denouncing in the novel and what's happening in the world with, for example, the rights for women.

If you want to read a book that brings together romance and gothic litterature you must read Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontê !
At first, I was a little bit uneasy because I am not used to readING books from the Victorian Era but this one is really captivating !
Personnally, I think that the most interesting part of this book is that even if it was written a long time ago Jane remains a modern character that we can identify with. Thanks to this coming ouf age story we can see Jane through different stages of her life and we feel like we are growing up with her. It also allows the reader to see all of the obstacles she had to overcome and to notice her evolution as a woman during the Victorian Era.
One passage that really stands out for me is the episode of the red room. Jane is being locked up by her aunt in the room where her uncle died. After this event, it is the first time that Jane stands up for herself and shows her strong values and moral principles.
I also loved the passage of the lunatic in the attic because I think it represents gothic litterature at ITS it's finest with the doppleganger theme ! I find the character of Bertha really deep because on the outside we can just think that she is a mad woman but then we realize that she represents arranged marriage and slavery.
To conclude, even if Jane Eyre is a long book I think it is worth reading it because it really allows you to understand the Victorian Era better but with a lot of suspense and the romantic relationship between Mr Rochester and Jane adds an amazing plot twist. You must read it !

I just finished reading Jane Eyre, a novel written by Charlotte Brontë. I liked it and even though it probably isn't my favorite book, I think it is really interesting to read it, especially at our age, when we ourselves are building our identity and defining who we are. The book deals with several important subjects such as the emancipation of women, their place in the Victorian society, social classes struggles and the hardship of growing up. I like the fact that Jane is such a determinEd character, she's is really strong and even if she sometimes thought about giving up she never did, she always got up and fought for her life and her rights. I would have preferred her to earn the money by herself in the end, because it made her independant like she wanted but only thanks to a man again. It reminds me a bit of a book we studied in French class last year, La Princesse de Clèves, in which we follow the journey of a young girl growing up,  who wants to stay true to herself and her convictions, with a lot of religious elements and an independEnt and strong-willed main character. But I prefer Jane Eyre because it is a little less focused on the romantic part of her life, what I don't think is that much important because what she really wants is to be independent.
My favorite part of the book is I think when Jane is in Lowood. I feel like she's not as stressed/ sorrowful as she is the other times. Of course the beginning was really harsh for her but it was when she met her first real friend, Helen Burns, and her character has such an aura of peace and calm that it makes this part lighter. Even when she dies, there isn't the dramatic or heavy atmosphere that we can find in the other parts of the book, I see it as a little break from all the bad things happening to Jane and her tormented life. She finally has someone to help her and on whom she can rely, Helen is really important in Jane's personal journey and will influence how Jane develops later in the book. She has to be one of my favorite characters ( along with Pilot, obviously )

Wow, Jane Eyre is a masterpiece ! I HAVE just finished and I found it amazing, especially the fact that Jane didn't deny her values throughout along the story, Charlotte Brontë shows an unbelievable character, who's independEnt in the Victorian Era it's uncommon ! Jane turns her back to the Victorian Era's society who consider women inferiorly to men, and that's a brave act.
Also, the romantic moments, when Jane and Edward show their love to their soulmate, it's so cute ! Even if she's PLAIN ugly!!!! he loves her and vice versa, although, the fact that Jane is "ugly" change about the classic novels, which often represent women like beauty's goddess, give to the story a full charm.
Obviously, the end was foreseeable along the beautiful story, this not change between all the novels with a love story, this is THE famous point of this type of novels.
I adviSe you to read this book, you can find it anywhere, the movies are great too (especially the 2011 edition) !

Hi guys, i just finished the Jane Eyre novel written by Charlotte Brontë and i am totally shocked. This almost autobiographical novel is incredible. I risk spoiling this work a little bit later in the tweet, so be careful.

The Gothic atmosphere is well maintained throughout the work. The description of Jane's emotions is very realistic. I never thought that such a little girl could experience such traumatic events. It's so sad, I've never been so moved in front of a book. To see a little girl going through insurmountable obstacles become a strong and independent woman is something exceptional. Although the book is set during the Victorian era, the themes and Jane's love stories remain very current.

If I had to pick up a passage that marked me that would be the chapter where the secret of Mr. Rochester is revealed. I am very disappointed with him because he has not been sincere towards Jane and I have a lot of empathy for her who must feel betrayed. Firstly because he betrayed her but also because he locked his wife on the third floor of his house. Moreover, he dehumanizes her and describes her as a beast. I hate him, he really is a pig.

Ahh … Jane Eyre … There is a lot of things to say about this novel. But I won’t spoil you. I will just insist on the powerful message conveyed by the book about women on the Victorian era.

Charlotte Brontë probably used her own life to create Jane’s. But at the time, a woman couldn’t write and publish a book. It was under the name of Currer Bell that Charlotte published her story.

From the beginning of the story, we understand the importance of gender and social classes during this period. Victorian society was based on manners, money, hypocrisy, racism,…

And at time, the most popular way of writing was the gothic genre. Which means, a gloomy atmosphere, fog and rain, dark forest, paranormal happenings, and death.

Of course there is also a love story in the book but not as simple that you imagine. But you will see.

I really advise you to read Charlotte Brontë’s master piece because you will be impressed by Jane. Her coming of age story will definitely inspire you. Suspense will hold you until the end.

I just finished the book Jane Eyre and i absolutely loved it !!
I think what i really enjoyed was the protagonist, Jane. She is this strong and independent woman and she always stands up for herself.
However, the chapter 26 was very different.

Since the beginning of the chapter, when her and Mr Rochester are about to get married, Jane doesn’t look like herself.
First of all, the atmosphere isn’t romantic as it should be, considering the event.
But most importantly, i expected a different behavior from Jane, but she is just being dragged around by Mr Rochester and doesn’t talk much which isn’t like her.

But what was really surprising is that Edward was hiding a woman in his attic ?!!
And she is his wife ??!!!
I was so confused when i read this passage, i didn’t expect Mr Rochester to have a lunatic hidden in his house ! Even though it explains the weird laughs and the situations Jane got into.

Anyways, as a whole, the book was very good and quite easy to read for old english. I recommend it!

This book is incredible. I already knew that I would love this book because I am really fond of stories which happen during the Victorian Era. But Jane Eyre is really interesting for educating ourselVES about the first steps of feminism during the 19th century. Jane proves it by her independent will, her decisions during the story and also her rough childhood background.

Jane didn’t have an easy beginning in her life; her parents are both dead, her only family during this period is from her mother’s side (the Reeds) and worst of all, her uncle Reed who was the only one to consider her as his own daughter, died and left her to the cruel treatment of her aunt and cousins. But, I think it somehow helped her to be conscious that the life is not easy and there are always problems to overcome. We have to be heard and speak up if we want to live our own life and have it entirely under our control. Her independence fierce is may born from her hard childhood background. The chapter 4, which is one of my favorite, deals with it. We can see Jane Eyre standing against her aunt and by those words, she erases her from her life. Jane, even though she was very young at this moment (about 10 years old), shows to the reader her disapprovement to the injustice and her desire to receive some love and affection from her family, just being accepted like she is.

In the book, when Jane Eyre and Mr Rochester were left alone for any reasons,  were the passages I was the most focused on. At each one of them, we could see and analyse the construction of their relationship by most of the time their confidence in to each other. It went from employer and employee to husband and wife. Nevertheless, let’s be honest, Edward was playing with Jane all the time by teasing her to be sure there was true love between them. He assumed it when he was about to propose to her. He was also very selfish because he thought at his benefits at first without caring about Jane’s feelings; « I am not a machine without feelings » (chapter 23). We have an example, when he was hiding to Jane that he already has a wife, a crazy woman, and by marrying Jane, even though he truly loves her, he would get rid of this chapter of his life. After that episode, when Jane was about to leave Thornfield, he was trying to make her feel guilty about the entire situation.

However, the mad lady in the attic was a good opportunity to Jane, as a reasonable person as she is, to realize that she is not going to play the role of the beloved bride in this story, but the horrible and selfish mistress, who stole the husband of another woman. She took this revelation very seriously and knew that she had to take the good decision for her future, with or without Mr Rochester.

Thankfully, Jane got her happy ending with the man she always loved after all, the one and only Edward Rochester. She deserved it. And the moral of the story for me is that independence doesn’t mean living alone during our whole life and ask nobody’s help but to find a way to live happily without caring about people’s opinion. Like Jane Eyre when she found her happiness only through marriage.

I really like the book jane eyre.
What I liked the most was the love story between Jane and Rochester.

Jane, is a strong, intelligent, and independent woman and she is a character that I admire because, despite the terrible childhood she passed, and the hardships she had to go through alone, she knew HOW TO remain a brilliant woman. I loved the love story between Mr Rochester and her because it is sincere love. They are so different and yet they go so well together. When Jane learns the secret that Mr. Rochester is hiding and that she decides to leave, I find that she had shown a lot of courage because she leaves him when she loves him very much. I was relieved when Jane finally decided to return to Thornfield to find Rochester.

The end of the book isn't really surprising, I expected it to end like this but I'm not disappointed because it's an happy ending, jane and rochester end up getting married and having a baby boy, they are happy and I think they deserve it.

I advise you to read it because it is a good book which denounces the conditions and the place of women of the time which was difficult. And there is a beautiful love story.

Personally I’m a huge fan of romances, I read a lot of books about love stories. But to be honest I never thought i’d like this novel. However I loved it ! Because of the romantic love story between Jane and Rochester, of course, but also because of the protofeminism. Charlotte Brontë has managed to put women forward which, let’s be honest, was unusual during the Victorian era.

Jane represents women conditions at that time, although Bertha is a very important symbol in the story too. This poor woman is forced to marry a man she doesn’t truly love, which can represents arranged marriages. Moreover she’s locked in the attic as she’s locked in her marriage. That is another reason why I liked this book, Charlotte Brontë is a very talented author, she’s able to create a very interesting love story in which gothic prevails. But she’s also able to denounce the Victorian society including women conditions, arranged marriages, the colonialism…

I also love how love is depictED here, let me explain. Religion has a huge role in Jane Eyre, especially when it comes to love. It proves that love, true love, is beyond material world. Love is so intense that is can’t be expressed on Earth, it is so more than that. It belongs to a superior institution.

For me the character of Jane is a source of inspiration, her self-construction inspires me. She’s proves that even when you have a very hard childhood without any landmarks you can make it through. It’s a matter of will.

Jane also breaks the codes by proving that she’s an independent woman even if she’s deeply in love with Rochester.

I would definitely recommend this novel, the plot is very interesting thanks to the love story but also thanks to the suspense created bu the gothic atmosphere. You must read this novel it’s a very entertaining way to understand a little bit more the Victorian society.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte is such a masterpiece. I am absolutely fond of it. The story is great and how marvelous was Jane’s growth! It settles during the Victorian Era focusing on Jane Eyre’s evolution from her scarring childhood to womanhood. The novel depicts wondrously women conditions at that time.

My favorite chapter was chapter 27, Jane’s departure from Thornfield; it is such a heartbreaking event leaving a realm of possibility regarding her future. Before she left, a succession of unexpected events occurred. For instance, Mr Briggs putting a halt on Jane and Mr. Rochester’s wedding ceremony, asserting that the groom was already married to Bertha Mason, a breathtaking plot-twist leaving Jane speechless and passive, almost in a state of depersonalization. That reveal led to Jane’s (real) encounter with the presumed mad woman locked in the attic, against her will. I enjoyed every bit of this reveal, from the dramatic opposition of Mr Briggs to Jane’s departure.  I liked Bertha’s introduction to the reader, how she aroused pity, and the meaning behind her existence.

However, throughout the novel, I like neither Jane and Mr. Rochester’s relationship nor the way he behaved towards her. The evolution of his feelings was remarkable and interesting; he truly loved her unlike St John who wrongfully used religion to manipulate her. Rochester eventually admitted he could keep her with him but wanted her to exert her free will. Hence, that evolution was flawed as he made her feel guilty for her decisions. To this extent, I did not completely enjoy the ending, I would rather she did not marry him. Nevertheless, she realized as she finally became independent that he was the one, she came back to her soulmate and they got married. How heartwarming was their reunion, although her journey deserved another outcome.

To be completely honest, I was not expecting that I will love this book, but I loved every chapter of this book. During Jane Eyre childhood we can see that she had a harshful childhood but this childhood shaped forged her character and enabled her permitted to construct herself, At Gateshead was a very important and emotional passage of the story. But my favorite chapter of this story was the chapter when Edward Rochester proposed to Jane Eyre, I'm not a huge fan of love stories, but this has completely changeD my mind about it. I wish that they were other Jane Eyre stories. I wish that I COULD can read the the book like I never read IT him because I would love to feel again those feelings about those évents and revelations all à long the book. All these revelations about Bertha Mason the secret wife of Rochester Who was locked in the attic, the call from Rochester that Jane Eyre heard, the different plot twists, and the end of the book, all those évents were very unexpected and that is why I love this book. This proto-feminism is also very important from an historical point of view of the Victorian Era. This Book is one of the best books i read my life.  Adrien Mazoyer TG-5

Jane Eyre is an novel with an author who defends and denounce women’s status in the victorian era. The fact that we see the Jane’s evolution throughout the book, it’s very interesting to see how Jane could be independent with many events during her life. And at each stage of her life she still learns things about herself. Now, let’s talk about Rochester and Jane’s love. I think their story is beautiful because their love is sincere and spiritual despite Rochester having a big secret he still confessed everything and did everything possible to save his one and only love for Jane. It's also interesting that a woman becomes independent in this society and can therefore make her choices on her own, and do whatever she wants. The author was able to portray Jane and the woman in general as being strong, independent in the Victorian era. But on the other hand I did not like the tragic end of the novel because when I started reading, I expected a more beautiful end, despite it already being because they meet again and have children. But in general Jane Eyre has shown the development of a woman from her youth when she WAS mistreated to her adult life by mixing love, passion, money, social status.

Let me give you my impression on Jane and Mr Rochester’s story. Like all romances stories, we know from the start of their meeting that they will end up together. But the gap between them can put doubt. Indeed, Mr Rochester is issue to the upper class while Jane is a simple governess, a real impossible story on the paper. Even if we know this kind of story, we stay until the end to be sure to have the end we are waiting for. Their love story incipient of a fire and quickly died out when Jane discover Bertha’s existance. I think this relation is really toxic, isn’t it when you red it? But feelings have passed the secret and we finally see the power of love. I am conscious of Jane’s non-dependance as others have said, but I prefere see the positive and romantic way of the end of this story!

# data[].attributes.body
When I first started reading Jane Eyre I was a little bit skeptical because it’s a novel from the Victorian Era, the lifestyle back then was very different than ours and I didn’t know if I was going to like it or not. It turns out I quite appreciate the book, Charlotte Brontë’s writing is very descriptive, maybe a little bit too much but still, I liked it. We follow Jane from being a little young girl, who has nothing, who is dependent on people that don’t even care about her to that determined, independent, fearless young woman who has found a real home, a real family and people that care about her.

I think that Jane’s childhood was pretty traumatic for her, with the bullying from her cousin John and her aunt, and also with Mr. Brocklehurst who tried to break her but they didn’t succeed because from all that negative and unhealthy environment Jane managed to become a woman with high principles. When she finally arrived at Thronfield, it’s a new beginning for her where she can start her life from scratch. She is going to find love with Rochester, who is not the ideal of a prince charming. Before proposing to her, he played with her feelings, tricked her to admit her feelings for him and perhaps that part may have been considered as romantic but I personally disagree. I hated the fact that he thought he could just consider his feelings and not Jane’s but I really surprised how she responded to him.

I liked the passage with the all lunatic in the attic part; I think it was really interesting to see how Jane reacted to that kind of shock. And when she left Rochester I was really supporting her in her choice because she was doing it for herself and not anyone else. Towards the end when she is with St John and his sisters, I didn’t really enjoy it, especially with St John proposing to her that was not good for me.

Now the end of the book, I personally didn’t really like it, because yes she is independent but still, he lied to her before and kept a pretty huge secret from her and he doesn’t seem to have any guilt about it and when she comes back it’s as if it hadn't even happened like it didn’t even happen. At some point you can think that she has finally what she always wanted, having a family that loves her and to whom she can rely onto, she independent so maybe for it’s a good ending for that time after all.

What a toxic relationship ! I know it's supposed to be a romantic complicated one but all I can see is two people locked in an unhealthy love. So yeah, we can say that it is cute because they can't control their love, they are meant to be but for me there is still something wrong with them. About Jane, it is not so about how she acts with Rochester but how attached she is to this man. Jane is supposed to be independent but in the end she still goes back to him when she could be free, she still married him at the end and throughout the book, she accepts Rochester's behavior even when she should not. In addition, what struck me was how her mood would change depending on whether her master was there or not. But I think the one that annoyed me the most more was Rochester. He was the one who made this relationship unhealthy. He thought that because Jane was his employee, she was his. He always took her for granted grinded so he allowed himself to have mean behavior toward her and to be very bossy. And let's not talk about how he played with her feelings like she was a toy! She's always here for him but what about him? Is he making sure she's fine? No. I will not say that I didn't like their relationship at all because it was entertaining but it is only because it is fiction and not real life.

# data[].attributes.body
In Jane Eyre I was quite quiet confused BY of the relation between Jane and Rochester. There was lot of interesting intrusting passages which shows that even if Jane loved Rochester, she proclaims her independance and her free will, but she also shows that she is dependent ON to him as he is dependent ON to her. For example, when Rochester proposeS to Jane Eyre, she asserts her will to be as equal as Rochester. She won't be inferior to him she would be independEnt and not restrained to do what she wants. But she accepts to be his wife. Even if she will be as equal as him, she put herself down to be entraped to the feeling of love. She was depeNDENT ON him because she loves him, and she returned to him to live with him,while she could have been self-sufficient with her independEnce. I think, during the Victorian Era the love represented in Jane Eyre was a big evolution, but the independEnce of women isn't faithful to our society. I think, that if she had resisted, and hadn't accepted didn't accepts the proposal of Rochester, she would have been a real independant woman who could have traveled around the World and asserts herself.

# data[].attributes.body
It is an unexpected relationship!
The two lovers come from two different worlds. Jane from the working class and Mr Rochester from the upper class. But with this difference we can say that opposites attract.
Jane has a sweet character  despite the fact that she is honest. Mr Rochester, him, is more "heart of stone" and he reveals his feelings only at the end. Furthemore at the beginning of the story Jane is dependent ON of Mr Rochester but at the end there is a turning point and it's Mr Rochester who is now dependent ON of her. They contradict EACH OTHER themselves all the time from the beginning to the end.

To be honest, I'm not a fan of this kind of novel. But in episodes, in specific moments, this novel surprised and intrigued me in its way of mixing genres and themes. The two themes that particularly caught my attention were religion and ghotic (I won't go into the subject of love, which interests me very little).Indeed, religion is approached under different forms, 3 to be more precise. Firstly, Mr. Brocklehurst, who practices a hypocritical, once-critical and shocking Christianity based on chastisement and humiliation, and on top of that he reveals himself as a stingy person. Then we have Helen, who is once an optimist and doesn't rebel so much against events, because for her everything will be better later on and obstacles are necessary steps in life.Finally we have St John who is a faithful practitioner of religion but sees a use for it (he needs Jane to go to India). Jane embodies a more moderate and balanced belief, she sees God as a guide. These oppositions and confrontations between the various ways of practising religion are particularly interesting.Then the ghotic genre that I like and that is present in different scenes like in the "Red Room" chapter or when Mr Rodchester's room suddenly catches fire in a strange and gloomy night. A genre that I find gives something extra to the novel, a mysterious and pleasant side to read.The many twists and turns are also part of what makes the story even more enjoyable to read in the sense that it makes us, the reader, want to know what happens next and surprises us in many ways throughout the story.Thomas Ferrigno

What a wonderful story I have read just now ! The perfect and true love between Jane Eyre and Mr.Rochester...
Throughout her life, Jane learned to become an independent woman. When she discovered Rochester's wife, she was distraught and injured. She asserts her freedom to be and doesn't want to be his mistress because she had some values and doesn't want to give up her dignity. She always had this state of mind even during her childhood. She doesn't want to belong to someone, she is free.
Mr.Rochester, him, learned from his mistakes, he develops real values and finally discovers the will to live the true love with his soulmate.

Two perfect strangers become two real lovers. They overcome  brave prejudices during the Victorain Era, because peoples think that a governess can't be in loved with a man who belongs to the upper class. They have proved that it's possible. You can't decide your feelings and who you love. Until you have experienced what they have lived, you cannot understand the notion of the real love.

We may think that Bertha will break their love but it's more strongER than this. They have been apart for a while, but the passion increased during their separation and both can't resist.

I didn't find this novel boring because we didn't expected the end. The fact that a woman becomes the master of herself during the Victorian Era was very interesting, and offers to us the dream of a better future for every women.
I loved their passion THROUGHOUT all along the story, several elements tried to separate them but in vain. It is this kind of beautiful person who makes it possible to make the thinking evolve over time

Love will always triumph!

In her childhood, Jane was discriminated against, was not considered to be a member of her own family, she was sent to "the Red Room" (room where no one went and where her uncle died) and then she was in Lowood , a school where the girls were abused and where she met a friend, Helen Burns who died shortly after "consumption" (all of these events helped to shape forge her character and contributed to the woman she later became.

chapter 26 is surely one of the chapter of the novel which marks the most a turning point in the history and the evolution of the characters.

First of all, the marriage of Jane and Rochester practically realized because they started the ceremony but two men arrived and it is said that the marriage was not possible since Mr. Rochester is already married which will lead to the fact that R reveals que the lunatic in the attic is not Grace Poole but his secret wife Bertha Mason, she is locked up in the attic, she cannot get out and when Rochester opens the door to show her we see a person who seems not "normal" "who may have mental problems since at one point she attacks Rochester; Meanwhile Jane remains to watch the scene without speaking and observing: she is the victim of the situation.

This chapter therefore marks a big turning point because we can say that Jane and Rochester had found a balance in their relationship until the moment we discover that Rochester is already married to a crazy young woman, this event will upset the story / character behavior and emotions ...

At first when i started reading Jane Eyre i didn’t thought that i would like it. I thought that it was the typical love story with the perfect man and the perfect woman and i would find it boring. But i was very surprised when i discovered the story, the fact that it is a protofeminist novel which shows a lot of inequalities between men and women . During the story we learn to know Jane, her special personnality which changes a lot from the other novels and bring us closer to the character . Rochester who is a really mysterious person and is the type of characters that i love in stories, and finally the fact that we always learn new things about characters' stories during all the novel until the end. There is always a secret that we do not know at all.

So i finally liked this story it was rich of passion,plot twists and i loved it !

Even if i would have find it cool that Mr Rochester dies at the end because i love tragic stories and bad ending (in the love part) . And after Jane would have succeeded in living alone as the human being with an independance will that she is.

For me it was a great novel with a lot of values that I defend especially the feminist aspect of it.

I wasn't really surprised by the end of this novel , because most of the story finish with a good ending like , wow the sky is blue everyone is happy let's have a lot of children , but personally i'm not a big fan of these i prefer tragic ending , they are less predictable and gives me more emotions , apart from the end i really appreciate the history and its area , the fact that a wowan was standing up to the society was really interesting .

After finishing "Jane Eyre" I was very surprised because when I started reading it I thought I will not like it but when I was reading it I find it very interesting. I really like the fact that we can see how Jane evolved in her life, in fact my favorite part of the book is to see how her charater deals with hardships and how she evolved in her self construction thanks to what she's been through or thanks to her relationship with other characte r like Helen or Mr. Rochester. I also love the fact that Charlotte Bronte wrote this kind of character: a strong and independent women in a time were socity had a very diffrent vision of women with all the rules and stereotypes in the Victorian era, it shows how l itt erature can be a useful tool to denounces inequality. I also think that this book still delivers a good message today and shows that it is important to stay true to our principles and  what we are before thinking of other people and what they may think about us. To conclude I really like the story and mostly the character and the diffrent aspects and issues it shows even if sometimes it might be a little bit boring and hard to understand but I would definitly recommand it.

To be honest, one of the aspects of the story that had caught my attention the most was this idea of self construction. Specifically, seeing Jane's evolution throughout her life made me want to read the book and better understand the character that Jane was. Understanding this desire for independence, the result of Jane's being dependent on no one. Something that she learned since her childhood. Of course, ensuring that the main character is an independent woman is intended by the author C.Bronte. With Jane Eyre, she completely revolutionized the Victorian genre by tracing the story of a woman dependent on no one. Something that had never been done before. That's why I enjoyed reading this book. Of course there are many other aspects that I appreciated such as the importance of emotions in the story. Each character represents his emotions has his own way, something that I find very important to put the reader in the mood of the book. Here's my opinion on Jane Eyre ! The only advice I can give you is to watch, once the book has been read and finished of course, one of the many films about Jane Eyre. I say that because that's what I did and personally it allowed me to better understand the story, especially to get an image on the different places where Jane lived.

I already knew the story of Jane Eyre because I watched a TV adaption when I was little and it marked me because it was weird. But concerning the novel, it was difficult to get into it. I think it was too descriptive at some times and books written during the Victorian Era can be boring sometimes. Overall, I like the story and the setting, I find gothic and uncanny events very enjoyable, but the personalities of the characters were not that good imo. I think Jane is bland, as she admits it herself, and Blanche Ingram is the typical pretty woman, just a foil in order for the two main leads to realize their feelings etc. Rochester is fun because he is grumpy and manipulative and it’s too bad he didn’t die at the end because it would have brought some more drama. The different aspects of religion were interesting to study and I liked analyzing the extracts in class. The novel is still a classic and ahead of its time because of the feminist aspect.

I finished the book and I have to say that I liked it very much, I quickly got attached to the character of Jane who is very strong psychologically. Throughout the book we have been able to follow the construction of the strong woman that Jane Eyre has become, she grew from an orphan and poor little girl, to a powerful woman who knew how to bypass the codes of the "victorian society". The book is very strong emotionally, you really feel the injustice that Jane has suffered throughout her life for what she is: a poor woman with no parents, and the scenes make us very sad about Jane.I also really liked her vision of marriage which is very modern compared to the way of thinking of her time, you might think she comes from our century.

Ellie Redois : my opinion about Jane Eyre

# data[].attributes.body
It took me a while to hold on to Jane Eyre. It's true to say that the book is rather descriptive and the vocabulary is very elaborate. In spite of this, I was very fond of the book, the fact that we follow Jane from her childhood to adulthood is very interesting because we can follow her evolution and the development of her personality. Speaking of personality, I really liked Jane's character, she is an independent, assertive and strong woman in a society that is very repressive towards women. I find her character endearing because she is altruistic and helpful despite the fact that she suffered a lot of injustices and rejection as a child.

What also made me hold on to the book is its writing style: Brontë writes with a Gothic style which gives a special atmosphere to the book with lots of secrets, suspense and even a supernatural aspect. The book being quite serious, it gives it a more dramatic look which allowed me to appreciate the book even more. Of course, even if some passages tend to be rather long, there are a lot of reversals and plot twists that push us to continue our reading.

The ending may seem a bit cheesy and maybe effortless, but I found that the contrast between the whole book and the ending is very interesting. Throughout her life, Jane tries to be appreciated and accepted for what she is but always ends up rejected. So I liked the fact that Brontë gave her such a happy ending because it shows that Jane can finally be loved, therefore, she has the possibility to heal from all the rejections or injustices she has experienced before.

# data[].attributes.body
This book is just amazing we can see through a brave and wonderful woman, a story of self-construction with a lot of hardships during all her life, passing by childhood without parents or any family and a complicated love story. Jane taught me that we can be who we are as long as we care for ourselves; that it's okay to feel very passionate or dreamy as long as we respect ourselves; that no matter where we come from, we can succeed in life, as long as we fight for ourselves.
For me Jane is a strong woman who fight against the Victorian society by marrying her true love as an equal.
What it's very striking it's that Charlotte Brontë was inspired by her own life to write this book; she conveyed message of feminism before feminism even exist, she is a genius and you SHOULD read this excellent book.

I've just finished r ead Jane Eyre, this book is a very interesting love story with some gothic features. I love the fact that it conveys messages about social classes, women's condition or also the religious aspect of the Victorian Era.
We follow the story of a young orphan girl at Gateshead, from the place where she opens the door to new horizons on the way to self-construction to Ferndean, the place where she can do what she really wants to do, stay, without having to compromise her moral, Jane has an independent income.
Thanks to the fact that the narrator is older Jane, through this book we can feel a lot of emotions like happiness, pity, sadness, injustice, fear, anger... I think we feel a lot of emotions because Charlotte Brontë is inspired by her own experience.
It's very cool that Jane is happy, rich and independent but, it seems that she can be happy only through marriage.
Unfortunately, I think that marrying Rochester means that she breaks her long-sought autonomy and independence

# data[].attributes.body
I think Jane Eyre is a very interesting book but principally it is avant-garde. Charlotte Brontë was inspired by her own life and decides to go against Victorian era’s values. Her century was full of inequalities whether it be for gender or for social classes. She blames this issues many times besides her message is mixed with tragedy, love and gothic elements to add suspens. It permits to catch reader’s attention furthermore it allows graduation in her criticism to escape from censorship. She defends women’s conditions and their independence, she expects liberty for every women. She criticizes marriage especially the cage that bui ld this institution around the wife. The novel is form of different steps, each one marks a progress in Jane’s self-construction. We can constat a self-assessment of Jane during the story, she expresses her impression after living the scene.

Personally, the end of the book doesn’t go in the sense of Jane’s convictions. She took the decision to being a wife so to become dependent of the marriage during the Victorian era. But during all the story she denounces this institution which create a cage around women and perpetuate their dependence towards men. Of course, she got her economic independence but thanks to her uncle so it shows that women need to men to bring money. On the other hand, it is great that she decides to listen her heart and to live joyful with the man that she loves. Moreover it permits to stop tragic events, since she lost her parents she has lived tragedy after another. She has deserved to knows peacefulness and tranquillity after to have be a lived mistreated, bullied and betrayed.

Reading this book was not easy indeed it is not the style of book that I particularly like and since it is a old english several passages it was difficult to understand. Having studied Jane Eyre in class enabled me to understand all the issues of this book and the messages that charlotte wanted to convey to the reader, particularly on Society and the women’s conditions in its time.  what is catchy in this story I would say that it is the fact that the author speaks directly to us, the reader, and from his childhood at gateshead until her life as a stronger woman (jane), we are then confidants, her friends from whom she seeks advice for example. This book is very attractive when we understand the stakes and we want to know what will happen at the end, if she will succeed in being independent and free as she always wanted.  As I studied this book I learned to appreciate history! the end of this story sounds like the end of jane's sufferings, it's a beautiful end for her who has suffered so much before and she manages to become her husband's equal it's like a message of hope for them  women of this time.

But during The whole story she stays courageous and strong, we will also follow his dramatic love with Mr. Rochester and the secrets of Thornfield.

It took a very long time to read it because I was really not fond of the story for I’m not fond of romance to begin with so I was not really attracted and even if some passages were good and interesting as a whole it was not a book I liked. And even if the main character was quite unusual and that there were some Gothic passages a lot of what was happening was still obvious in a romance. But the ending was not something I had expected to be frank because I was not ready to see in what state Mr Rochester ended up in even if like in a romance they lived happily ever after it was still surprising and I liked that ending. I also liked the positive message for women even at a time when it was not really good to be a woman and that at the end she ends up as equal to her lover.

Camille Rodrigo - My opinion of the novel Jane Eyre

# data[].attributes.body
I took a long time to read this book, at first, I was bored reading it, I didn't understand everything, I started to pick up and I hung on. It is true that this book recounts experiences most likely lived by the writer and that this is what gives an impression of proximity and a total understanding of the emotions of the characters. I liked the fact that, even if Jane h
ad a traumatic childhood, that she lost a great friend to death from illness, all of this did not deter her, she hardened herself, and she vowed never to be dependent on anyone. This can be seen when looking for a job, she had no weight on her, and even if someone had tried to prevent her, she would have followed her choices, she would have brought her values ​​to life. "Thanks" to her childhood, she was able to understand what others at that time did not understand or would never understand. Jane understood that life had to be led, lived with full emotions, and that despite the storms, despite the mistakes, nothing and no one should prevent her from living the life she wanted. I really think this character is partly the writer, but that side of nonconformity had been her wishes for liberation and independence that she surely never had. The end is somewhat tragic, however we can still understand it to evolve, as much mentally, lovingly and economically. Thanks to St John she understood that she should not let go of the feelings hidden by her anger which she still felt with passion for Mr. Rochester. She had the opportunity to flee an unrequited love founded on duty. Charlotte Brontë had mentioned that God commanded love between two people and that destiny was managed by him and his angels. Jane left John abruptly and she broke the chains imposed by God, her love had been much stronger than the angels, which shows for the last time, her independence. Finally, she will have proved to us that nothing and no one could prevent her from making her choices, not even the divine.

When I was reading Jane Eyre, I had the impression I was diving in the Victorian Era. It was like Charlotte Brontë wanted to make the reader being emerged in century she lived, as a woman, thanks to the fact that we live the story through Jane's eyes.
I liked the way the story was telling. Jane Eyre was telling us, directly, her life with a lot of hindsight. It was really fascinating to follow the construction of Jane's personality, her psychologic's evolution, between who she was and who she has become. By the way, the place where she is going in the book ; it is like they got names as to represent the test she will have to pass (Gateshead, Lowood, Thornfield, Moorhous...).
This evolution was due to events which she must have been confronted with : religion, mariage, social class, love, moral values and educations of the Victorian Era. I think it was very clever from the author to denounce some aspects of the society she lived as a woman in that way.
Even if I don't fond of romance, I liked this book because of some reasons : there is also gothic genre in it and the main character is far from a damsel in distress waiting to be married, on contrary, Jane Eyre is a self-confident woman with a great determination to quench her thirst of independence.
The whole book is an artwork, so it is difficult for me to chose my favorites parts. However, two scenes are imortant, but maybe just for me. They are at the beggining. The first one is when, as a child, Jane Eyre met her uncle's ghost in the Red room. At this moment, the story cought my attention because I love gothic stories and it reassured me that it wasn't just a simple story. Then, before going to Lowood, Jane is talking to her mean aunt, Mrs Reed. I don't really remember the dialogue but I know I was like : "Wow, this girl is going to fight the life !", and here, I was attached to the story because I liked the main character's principles.
So I think you understand, this book is very interesting, I invite you to emerge yourself in the life of Jane Eyre.

The novel was really difficult to get into as the writing was very descriptive and slow at first, in addition the way of writing back in 1846 makes the understanding complicated and slows down the progression. The touch of gothic style mixed with some romantism gives a unique impression stressing many different emotions and situations. As I was not satisfied at first I found interest in the story due to a special main character surprising in her choices and actions. I particularly liked the end of the story for the outcome of every character and its meaning, for example in the case of Edward Rochester the fact that he comes out as a happy and satisfied man healing from his suffering ( Bertha Mason's arranged marriage). I would recommend Jane Eyre as a story full of messages and knowledge to build from but it being a difficult book to get through. Jane is an iconic character thanks to Charlotte Bronte's convictions and will passed through the story, she is the meaning of such a tormented story reflecting a lot of her time's problems and criticises society through her masterpiece.

# data[].attributes.body
To be honest, I did not really enjoy reading Jane Eyre. I found Charlotte Bronte’s writing style too descriptive, and some passages really long and unnecessary like the time Jane is at Moor House.

However, the fact of studying some extracts in class allowed me to understand better the messages Charlotte Bronte wants to convey like her feminist ideas.
Even if I found the novel too long, it allows to develop the characters’ personality and history, making them interesting for the reader like Helen Burn’s kindness or the perversion of Jane’s host family.

I also liked the fact that the novel is more centered on Jane’s personal development in her journey than on her love story with Rochester, who is more presented like a toad than a charming prince. It’s not a classic and boring love story, feelings develop little by little in a dark Gothic atmosphere. I thoroughly appreciated the fact that Jane seduces more Rochester with her intelligence and her free mind than with her beauty and a nice dress.

Even if Jane is described as a passionate and free character, I find her too

thoughtful, virtuous and smooth, like if she was the perfect example of a poor orphan who became strong and happy only thanks to moral and values. The fairy tale end of the novel adds to this aspect of perfection.

Despite these negative aspects, I encourage you to read Jane Eyre which stays a model of bildungsroman.

Jane Eyre deserves to be a classical in the English and, more than that, in the worldwide litterature. This book is composed of many different styles like tragedy, romance and gothic. That's quite good because it can be perfect to reach many different audiences because everybody can find something to like in it ! In addition, Charlotte Brontë was a bit visionary, she wanted, though her book to make the things move for women in the Victorian society with a lot of criticism against this system. Of course, this was not the kind of books which I would be fond of but we can all recognize all the qualities which are in it. It's good written, quite pasionating for many people and it was a good criticism and I'm sure, a good answer to all the issues of the time.

# data[].attributes.body
First of all, Jane Eyre is a novel to which I would not have been particularly attracted at first. The book was not an exciting read and the story, in my opinion, was  expected. On the other hand, the precise study of extracts had allowed me to have a new look at the book, to understand more the history but especially the stakes of the book at that time. I found it very interesting to discover how Charlotte Brontë questions the principles of the time and the place of women in society. The character of Jane Eyre takes then all its sense, the way she fights and balances between what we expect from her and what she would like to be, allows us to understand her and to be touched by her.
In conclusion, I would like to say that this book brings us a new vision of the world during the Victorian era. The romantic side of the book hides great new values, brought by Charlotte Brontë.

At the very beginning I was not really enjoying this book. Everything seems to be sad in Jane's childhood and I was wondering if the whole book was going to be like this, only made of cruelty, injustice, darkness, missfortune... But when Jane starts growing up I was relieved. Even if she has been through rough times like when she went in Lowood and was humiliated by Mr. Brocklhurst she remained strong and fair with the others and met great people, like Miss Temple or Helen Burns who helped her growing up. Then Jane became that strong and independent woman that she is during the rest of the story. For thoses times, this book is very modern and that's why I found it so interesting. I really liked this book and I'm glad I've read it.

# data[].attributes.body
I've just finished reading Jane Eyre and it was, for me, a REAL revelation. I usually don't like love stories in book, but this wasn't just an usual and basic story based on love. Mostly due to the gothic style and the fact that the narrator is the older Jane, we went through a huge panel of emotions as fear, fascination, anger, happiness, sadness, desperation,... Thanks to all the details that C. Brontë gives all along the novel, like in, for example the scenes of the red room or the unexpected encounter, we literally feel Jane's emotions at the same time as her and understand all her choices. The readers also become aware of the major stake at the time : the women's place in the Victorian Era which was very different from the current one. This aspect makes the readers take a step back in their own place in the society, whatever their gender or the time they're in. Moreover, I really enjoyed the end of Jane's journey and more precisely the fact that she finishes it with Rochester. It is for me the best end that there could be : Jane is finally in harmony with herself after all the events she has been through, good or bad.
Due to all those reasons  I would 100% recommend it to anyone who would like to read it !!

I just finished reading Jane Eyre and this novel was a real surprise for me. To be honest at first sight, this book didn't make me want to read it but once you start it you can't stop. I think what I liked the most is to have seen the evolution of this young orphan who appropriates her own personnality over the stages of her life. Moreover, the way Bonte mixes the love story with go tic elements and the Victorian reality of the time is really interesting. The chaotic existence of Jane as well as the most striking passages of the book such as the red room, the lunatic in the attic... brings suspens to the plot twist. In addition to this, during decisive scenes such as the departure of Jane from Thornfield, allows the reader to discover the real personnalities of the characters. And the fact that Bronte gives many details such as emotions for example is more easily for the readers to integrate us in the story. Nonetheless, I'm quite disappointed by the end because Bronte told us a story full of turmoil and chaotic events and I find this end too much. Maybe a tragic end would have been in the continuity of the novel but that does not prevent that I really like this book for all these reversals of society, of love...

I really liked to read “Jane Eyre” because the story looks like the one I like to read when I have free time. But I even more liked to analyze it. I learned a lot of things that I didn’t knew about living in the Victorian era like the strict rules about social classes, women's conditions and how strong the presence of the religion was. Moreover, the fact that the main character, Jane, is a woman unlike the other is an attractive thing. She is questioning her society, especially the women’s place and can still today be an important figure in feminism. Also, I went through many different feelings during the reading. I felt pity, sadness and injustice about her harsh and sad childhood, happiness when she started a love story with Rochester. I was surprised and shocked when his secret has been revealed, disappointed but understanding when she left him, angry about how St John though of her as a useful tool and to finish even more happy than the first time when she finally came back to Rochester. This is mostly why I liked “Jane Eyre”, thanks to the author, I could perfectly understand or at least imagine the feelings of the character and be really immersed in the story. Plus the details from the Gothic literature added mysteries and hyped me even more in the story.

# data[].attributes.body
This book is very interesting, after all, it is a love story, but with some gothic features. In this way, it matches with the literary tastes of many people. Furthermore, it conveys messages about the feminine condition during the Victorian Era : forced mariages, inferiority of women, etc... To continue, it tackles the issues of social classes at this time. All the suspense which is create by Charlotte Brontë around the love story between Jane and Edward Rochester makes us wanting to discover more and more about the book. The unexpected happy ending breaks the codes of the gothic genre, but follows those of love stories. This makes the book easier to follow for a larger audience. There is a lot of plot twists that encourages us to continue our reading.

I really liked this story where we follow a young woman in search of independence in a very conservative Victorian Era , regarding the situation of women. And it's also a timeless story that still reflect current events. Because finally the condition of women is still debatable/ unsettled / controversial even if it has evolved.
We see that Jane's life was never easy. Her childhood was rough and she never really found her place and was loved as a child need to be. And when she's older and thinks that she can finally find happiness and a home, fate fall upon her. The man she loves is already married to a mad woman locked in the attic. And despite of all the hardships , she will get a happy ending. All these sacrifices, such as leaving Thornfield to respect her values as an independent woman, will allow her to discover a family and an inheritance that will allow her to live this love story. When Rochester and Jane meet again, they can finally rely on each other without dogmas of Victorian society and Jane's values being a hindrance to their relationship. And finally, Rochester miraculously regains her sight while Jane is pregnantaofa with a  child, a sign that everything is back to normal for this woman who has been persecuted since childhood.
I enjoyed everything about this book except that sometimes the scenes were a little too descriptive, although they were all important. The little plus in my opinion is the gothic style, which makes the story more exciting. We want to know about the fire, the torn veil etc.... And so it makes you even more interested in the story. And it breaks the too romantic side which personally I don't always like. "Jane Eyre" was a pleasure to read and makes me want to discover the stories of her sisters.

After I finish reading this chapter, for me the plot was good but i didn't expect Jane to really leave Thornfield because leaving it meant leave the home she doesn't have.
Leaving means a new place with new people and also forget Mr Rochester, he impact her life, her feelings.... But he really broke her with this secret she doesn't want to be the second wife or his mistress.
Despite the fact that she loves him she needs to stop this relationship and begin a new life without him.

I just finished reading the chapter and I also wanted to give my opinion. For me she made the right choice, she followed reason rather than heart. It is true that it was not an easy choice for her but she made the decision to do it, her principles and values ​​come first and she shows it to us in this passage of the book; she takes control of herself and shows that she can make decisions! She brings out the image of a courageous and strong woman.

In this chapter, Jane is making the best choice for herself but Rochester seems to not accept it and wants her to feel guilty because he is heartbroken.

OMG ! Jane Eyre is such a courageous woman ! She was going to married a man that cares for her but she just discovered that he was already married to a woman that he keep in a attic and now he tries to make her stay. Jane fight with her mind and her heart at the same time. And now she choose to leave him for her self well being.

Carole Gandon i've just finished reading the Chapter 26 of Jane Eyre and hzeuifdbyg, wow, I am very shoked that Jane really leaved Thornfield I thought she wouldn't doing it. Despite the fact that she loves her she have to  stick to her moral principles and values I really think that, she tooks the good decision of leaving Thornfield, bcause I know that Rochester is passionate and love her but it's not a reason to manipulate her !

I am shocked of this secret about the fist wife of Rochester and I reeaalyy understand that Jane feels that she have to leave Mr.Rochester to respect her principles. I also admire how strong she is, because she knows how suffering he is of this situation and she would feels guilty of leaving him, but while she loves him, while she feels pity for him she knows that she can't stay whith him, she have to car for herself.

At this passage of the book, my impressions are mixed. On the one hand, I was very surprised about Jane's decision because we all know what she feels for him and that she feels very good at Thornfield. But on the other hand, I was very impressive about her decision because it shows us how she grows up to Gateshead at Thornfield. Now she is capable to assert herself, to resist to her passion, to control her life while she wasn't capable to do it before. Therefore it's a really important chapter with a plot twist because Jane is going to endure the most important part of her life by leavig the place who feels her at home and people who care for her.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm so impressed by Jane ! She finally succeeded to stick to her moral values and to control her burning personality, her passion. She has been throught a lot of very hard events like when they found Bertha in the attic which was a big revelation that made her even stronger than she already was. This big strengh led her to take this, as we can guess due to her love, very though decision of leaving Rochester : her decision makes THE whole plotwist of the story.

# data[].attributes.body
So I just finished reading Jane Eyre's chapter 26 where Jane is resolving to leave Thornfield. I was very shocked that she would take that decision. Of course, I knew she would be mad at Rochester for lying to her but I didn't expect that after all she's been through she would actually leave Thornfield ; it was the only place where she felt at home where she was accepted and appreciated. I believe that this passage was the most difficult one to read because it must have been so hard for Jane to make that decision despite her love for Rochester.

# data[].attributes.body
I'am very surprised about Jane's decision ! How can she leave her love ?! How can she leaves her home Thornfield ? I know that she respects some principales and values but, if her love for Rochester is strong as it is represented in the story, passionate and powerfull, she cannot leaves him !
