Farewell, Jane Eyre

1) I would stay. Why? Because I've already read to the end of the book, and know what happens, haha... But they love each other. If Mr. R divorces his crazy wife, I'd be fine with it. I guess.

2) This is a book that is sooo much easier reading at 18 than at 13! Wow. Part of my love for JE came from relating more this time around and finding deeper meaning and actually understanding her language better. I like how she writes. I like how Bronte crafts characters--although their speech could be shaved down some.

3) Keep it. While I'd prefer a non-white protagonist, I love how Jane's story takes you someplace and somewhen completely different from most novels today. She is not rich, beautiful, etc, but she is a heroine worth looking up too. Also, this book is a great preparation for college.
