Jane Eyre by Charlotte BrontëMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
After going into a high street bookshop and asking which book by Jane Eyre would I like to order, I gave up and ordered it on-line. It’s a tale of a naïve orphaned girl who wishes to remain in her cocoon but is forced into boarding school by her aunt. Here we witness her rebellious spirit turn into a questioning one; not for educational purposes but to learn more about the world around her. When she leaves school and enters the servitude of Mr. Rochester, she is almost shy and becomes totally obedient to the events placed around her, with her rebellious spirit gone forever. This is why Mr. Rochester’s manner easily confuses her and is able to keep his secrets from her very easily; from hiding his identify to his mad wife in the attic. But the best thing about Jane Eyre is that it’s a book of action; unlike other Victorian novels where the plot is merely of the gossip of others; Bronte actually creates novel experiences for her characters to react to.
