"Jane Eyre" was of course amazing. I think a lot of you feel that way. And by all means ... you should. 'Cause it is.
It's wondrous and beautiful and creepy.
But I felt like it was missing something, or like there was something flat-out WRONG with it. And here are my thoughts:
1. Jane's character, while elaborately drawn and solidly fleshed out, was sometimes inconsistent. For example,
2. Why did she want to go to India when she had settled herself into the splendor of her newfound status as a sister? What motivated Jane to consider travelling under the hot sun alongside a person whose intentions appealed to her own values but whose personality, while to a considerable degree intriguing and impressive to her, clashed so morbidly with her own?
3. Why did she love Rochester? What about his furious fervor and wild impatience kept her passion for him fully alive?
My qualms. The end.
