Final Reflections on Jane Eyre

Similar to The Catcher in the Rye I thought this book was just ok.  I didn't find it a great book but near the end of the story it got easier to read.  The pages had small print and some paragraphs were very long with descriptions.  One part that liked was that I didn't see the end coming.  I was surprised that the creature in the third story was Mr. Rochester's wife.  I felt bad for Jane because she was finally about to be a person in a high social class.   I noticed that everyone had strong feelings about social classes.  When Mr. Rochester had his friends over they were not comfortable with Jane being in the room and joining them.  Mrs. Fairfax also had problems with Jane and Mr. Rochester getting married.  When Jane was falling in love with Mr. Rochester she continued to tell her self that she was not good enough for him and tried to tell herself what class she was in. I didn't like the way that it ended.  If we continued to read the rest of the book it probably ends better, but the part that we read was kind of depressing.  It was definitely not a happy ending.  Overall I thought that the book got better as it went and was just ok.

  1. I felt the same way, Adam. I also felt the the book was okay, but I have deffinatley read better. Your views on the book are almost identical to mine, especial the parts about Jane. I am not part of the group that is going to finish the book for their choice novel, but I am excited to hear them report on the ending!
    My only recomendation to you would be just to proof read your posts a little more carefully.
