Literary Response #3

I have just finished the book Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the book! I even watched the mini series. I also really felt like I connected with Jane in the book. Even though Jane and I have nothing in common I really felt like I understood her. Jane Eyre is  such a great love story, but it is also really mysterious. This book definitely made me feel. I felt everything that Jane felt; I was able to feel her hurt, and more so the love that she had for Mr. Rochester. It was put across how difficult it was for Jane to leave Mr. Rochester after they couldn't be married. To me Jane is a strong character. She has confidence, but her one flaw would be not letting  other people into her life without extreme caution. For awhile she refused to let herself love Mr. Rochester, she would even tell herself that he didn't love her, how he couldn't love her. She had so much love for him she returned to him at the end--even when he was blind. Overall this was a great book.
