Wow. I had always been told that Jane Eyre is boring. Well the people who said that are boring if they don't like stories with romance, mystery, intrigue, action, philosophy, and suspense! That's right, Jane Eyre has all those things! I was completely blown away by how quickly I got sucked into this book. I can see how some might think it is boring in the beginning, although I completely disagree. And near-end it takes a turn that leaves the reader hanging with regard to other characters, but don't worry! it all comes full circle in the glorious end.
Jane has become my favorite literary heroine. Usually the women in literature annoy me. But Jane is sensible, she is charming, she has wit, but she has romantic inclinations as well. She reminds me of myself. I appreciate that she isn't silly and doesn't willfully misinterpret the actions of other characters. She is what ever literary heroine should strive to be.
