Oh how I love this novel! Jane Eyre is one of those novels that I can read over and over again and get something new out of it every time. I consider it to be one of the most readable classics, one I can just pick up and lose myself in it without even thinking about it. To me, thats a testament to how well it holds up, there arent too many classics I can say that about because I find so many of them to be rather plodding.

This time around, I found myself to be much more emotional about the trials that Jane goes through. Ive gone through quite a few emotional events since the last time I read this one, and that undoubtedly affected my reading of many of the situations Jane is in. I openly wept when reading about her treatment during early childhood at Gateshead and later at Lowell School.
