Sexual Equality in Jane Eyre
writingisthedrug:
In Jane Eyre, Bronte presents to us a character ultimately relatable across time. Jane is an underdog. Though is she well educated within her means, and has a perfectly suitable job as a governess, she is unsatisfied with the limits society has imposed on her life. She has dreams, desires, and wanderlust unique to those who dread living within the bonds of what is...

I was reading on my school field today and somebody (AN IDIOT) said to me, “What’re you reading?” - and I said, “Jane Eyre” and they went “Ugh”.
Then I was all “Why Ugh?”
“Its so boring and out of date”
“Have you read it?” “No”
THEN YOU KNOW NOTHING. HOW CAN YOU SAY A BOOK IS BORING BECAUSE IT IS OLD? OR “OUT OF DATE” - THAT IS THE DUMBEST THING EVER. I HATE MORONS.

MY FEELINGS. I’m here and I just hkjefuhdsfmnbfh, so so perfect! I’m totally in love with Edward Fairfax Rochester! I ship it. I ship everything in this book. Can I ship Pilot and Carlo?
At first I was sad, then it turn out happy with Helen, then I was sad again, and again, and again, and then happy things happen. But fuck, this book was really written by Charlotte...

'Do you doubt me?' 'Entirely!'
sylvia-speaks:
I love this part of Jane Eyre so much, because it isn’t just a young woman swooning at a rich man’s feet. Jane makes her own decisions, and is completely independent: the opposite of the stereotypical damsel-in-distress type heroine. I love Jane Eyre!

Jane Eyre is my comfort food for the soul.
I don’t think you understand how much I love this book.
This book is for all intents and purposes my bible, it guides me, it comforts me, I flip through it’s well-worn pages like remembering the faces of old friends. Sometimes, this is the only thing that makes me feel less alone.
This has been a post.

I love the way Rochester calls Jane "Janet."
write-me-a-novel:
It’s just so cute, the way he teases her. This too-cool, rugged Englishman strutting along his great estate, going “Oh, my dear lovely Janet!” It just kills me.

Deleted Scenes From My Shitty Draft: Part 1
thoughtfulimpulsiveness:
Each interpretation claims one reason or another, but in reality, the reasons for Jane’s departure are not so clear-cut. Jane leaves because she cannot dance interpretatively and this presents a problem in her relationship with Rochester. Every Saturday night Rochester expresses himself through interpretative dance. Because Jane lacks rhythm, she and Rochester are not on...

riddled:
I don’t understand why Jane would just leave everything behind to go to the middle of nowhere and then become a beggar. Even if she didn’t want to be with Mr. Rochester, she still had a good friend in Mrs. Fairfax and Adele and a good job.

Japanese Jane Eyre? Or Butchered Brontë?
koko-y-miguel:
So here’s what happened — the first paragraph of the last chapter of Jane Eyre — “Reader, I married him…” is typed into Google Translate and converted to Japanese. The Japanese translation is then converted back to English.
We should get the exact same thing, right?
Original Text
Reader, I married him. A quiet wedding we had: he and I, the parson and clerk, were alone present....

30 day James Franco challenge in less than 30 days
jamestumble:
26. A movie role in a current movie I wish James had done.
I think, the last Jane Eyre, he would have been a beautiful Mr. Rochester, don’t get me wrong, Michael Fassbender was fabulous! I would love to see James in a period piece by a Bronte sister or Jane Austen.

I thought Jane Eyre was the simple tale of a babysitter (or governess, as they would have called her in that time period) and that’s all. I did not know that this book would be so interesting… or fucked up.
Woohoo, British Lit!
