Sweet Jane: Some Final Reflections on Jane Eyre

If I was Jane I think that I would stay with Mr. Rochester.  At the same time I can kind of see why she would want to leave.  It would be hard to know that Mr. Rochester is married but I think Jane would be better off with him.  She has always wanted to be loved and feel like she belonged somewhere.  She was about to be able to feel that.  Mr. Rochester really loved her even though he had a wife.  Jane and him were going to leave England so people wouldn't know the truth about them.  I think that they could have been happy together in another country.

I thought that the book was ok.  It definitely got better as it went along.  Some parts were very long and hard to read.  After a while it did get interesting and I was able to read easier.  I thought that sometimes the book went into too long of descriptions.

I think that this book should be taught in College Lit.  Even though it was hard to get into at the beginning it did have a lot of motifs and a bigger meaning behind it.

  1. Thanks for the feedback, Adam. I agree with you: the book picks up steam as it goes along (although there's some stuff at the end of the book I'm not sure about). At the very least, now you can brag that you've read (most of) a classic work of literature!
