Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

So I read Jane Eyre as a part of a college course...but I didn't actually finish reading it.... because I was an English major and I had a lot of books to read. So I know what happens, but I couldn't remember all the exact details....
I relate so much to how Jane can get people to share stories with her..
....Chapter 15... I'm fine.
I feel like I shouldn't like Mr. Rochester but I do.... a lot...
Jane and Mr. Rochester are so snarky to each other and I am here for it.
Also fortune tellers.... cool. I forgot about that.
..Chapter 23.....
Cranky Mr. Collins look-alike needs to go.
The last three chapters *angelic sounds*
I just love the idea of being with someone who lets you be a wildfire, and a wildfire that’s harnessed for good. I think it really helps that Jane is super self-reflective and she tells the readers what she thinks and feels, because then metaphors. I just love comparing how Jane’s suitors affect (or attempt to affect) her. Because one has an image of Jane that she is not, and wants her to conform to that image; and the other delights when she is herself, fiery as she may be. Just leave me to my screeching.
I feel like I need to make a giant post about me fangirling over Mr. Rochester....
