Jane Eyre is actually one of my favourite ...+JMJ+ <br /><br /><i>Jane Eyre</i> is actually one of my favourite novels of all time! I've read it from cover to cover several times through the years (with countless rereads of favourite parts in between) and believe that it has helped "shape" me into the person I am today. <br /><br />Jane's plainness gets a lot of discussion among Bronte fans. I know some readers who are convinced that Jane is lovely in her own way--that other characters just don't see it because she's a charity case as a child and a servant as an adult, meaning that she's not <i>supposed</i> to be beautiful. On the other hand, there are readers who are happy that the actress cast to play Jane in the movie coming out later this year is <i>not</i> pretty at all.<br /><br />I belong to the second group. I think that Jane is not conventionally good looking, but that there is something in her <i>spirit</i> that makes her beautiful to Mr. Rochester. (They do speak of a special connection--an affinity neither shares with anyone else.) It's kind of what I'm sure all of us have experienced when we think someone is really gorgeous, only to have our friends gape at us in surprise. But Bronte takes it much deeper, into the soul realm.Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.com
