In reply to RoseReadsNovels. I did study Jane Eyre so I've seen lots of perspectives on it!

In reply to Meggy | Chocolate'n'Waffles. I think the premise of the book was more fun than the execution of it, but there were certainly some interesting discussion points. Thanks for checking my review out!

I haven’t read many classics so I’d probably miss the fun of this book! Great review!

In reply to RoseReadsNovels. Surely Jane could not be totally happy being married to a deceiving bigamist but maybe she would consider his being blinded a fitting punishment and they can start over

In reply to Anonymous. It may not have been that expensive, as it's not exactly a textbook. I can't always remember which classics I've read, so I keep a reading database

I can imagine that anything published by Oxford University was originally expensive (?) sounds interesting. Can’t remember which classics I have read and which I haven’t

How interesting! I love charity shop bookshelves, you never know what you will find.
But what did you think, would Jane Eyre be happy with Mr Rochester or would she always be wondering when he would fall in love with someone else?
