I really enjoyed reading Jane Eyre and was surprised by how strongly I connected with it. Jane felt like a real person to me rather than just a character, because her thoughts and emotions are described so honestly. Even when she is treated unfairly or feels completely alone, she refuses to lose her sense of self, which I found inspiring. What I liked most about the novel was Jane’s independence. She does not make decisions based on what would be easiest or most comfortable, but on what she believes is right. There were moments when I felt frustrated for her, especially when she had to suffer because of her principles, but that only made me respect her more. I also really enjoyed the relationship between Jane and Mr. Rochester. Their bond felt deep and meaningful because they challenge each other and speak honestly. The mystery of Thornfield Hall kept me interested, and the darker, gothic elements made the story more exciting without taking away from Jane’s personal journey. By the end of the novel, I felt that Jane had truly earned her happiness. Jane Eyre made me think about independence, self-respect, and the importance of staying true to yourself, even when it is difficult. It is a book I genuinely enjoyed and would recommend to others.

Eine der großen Liebesgeschichten der klassischen Literatur. Trotz Englisch des 19. Jahrhunderts kommt man gut mit, und es wird klar, dass Jane stets ihrem Herzen und ihrem Verstand folgt. Am Ende gibt es ein Happy End.

What a rollercoaster it was. I certainly didn't expect Jane's life to be as "adventerous" as it ulimately became. Sure there were many tedious sections and also very frustrating ones where I became disappointed with the heroine but one just can't dislike Jane. Whom I do dislike and never felt another way towards is St. John. Not only does his manner disgust me but also his overbearing faith wich he almost gaslighted Jane to follow. To not believe in her own way and follow her heart but adapt HIS believe and follow HIS commands. Ugh I'm getting mad remembering it. I must say eventhough I didn't approve of Mr. Rochester at first (I thought it wise for Jane to leave). I was imensly glad she came back to him (as the alternative would be hell). I then discovered that he can be selfless (he risked his life for others) and his heart was in the right place all along (in Jane's hands). At the end, even if it seems the two won't make a good match, they intellectually did, they made each other happy and fulfilled wich is all that is needed in a relationship. I'm also glad Jane found new family with her female cousins.

Ich habe jetzt ziemlich genau zwei wochen für dieses buch gebraucht, was schon recht lang ist, aber ich habe fast jede seite genossen! jane eyre erzählt uns ihre geschichte auf eine sanfte und liebevolle art, so dass man gar nicht anders kann als ihre worte aufzusaugen. der altersunterschied des pärchens ist natürlich sehr befremdlich, aber dadurch, dass jane die geschichte aus einer ich-perspektive erzählt, glaube ich ihr ihre tiefe liebe gegenüber mr.rochester und bekomme nicht so einen ick, wie bei anderen age-difference romanzen (hust intermezzo hust) kanns mir nicht anders erklären, und das ende macht ihre gefühle noch überzeugender 5 sterne jedenfalls für charlotte brontë! ich kann es kaum glauben, dass sie 1847 dieses buch verfasst hat, welches seiner zeit sehr voraus ist ich freue mich jetzt darauf, das nächste buch von ihr zu lesen, wahrscheinlich wird es villette :) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

OHNE DASS ER MICH ANSAH, MACHTE ER, DASS ICH IHN LIEBEN MUSSTE
