more I have finally finished reading one of literature's greatest treasures, "Jane Eyre." Charlotte Bronte, like her sister Emily [author of "Wuthering Heights] appears to have inherited the writing gene. Both sisters write with such a richness of feeling and of language; forceful in its representations of passion as to have the reader feeling as tumultuously conflicted/emotional as the characters themselves. One is swept away into the plot. We feel the pain of oppressed Jane, as well as great joy in her successes. So much so, that when the very famous line at the conclusion of the book in which it is scribed, "Reader, I married him [Mr. Rochester that is]," one is overwhelmed with satisfaction that all happy endings tend to give.
Unlike Wuthering Heights, though, "Jane Eyre" is much easier to take/ has greater likelihood of readability. I greatly enjoyed it, as well as related to it. "Jane Eyre" came at exactly the right time in my life when I needed it most. While some passages are difficult to get through and sometimes ramble a bit, it is fairly minor in the grand scheme of the novel though. As a book after my own heart, I can already tell it will be a great favorite of mine for years to come.
