Jane Eyre

"Jane Eyre"
By: Charlotte Bronte
Review By: Christie S.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte is filled with plenty of plot twists, conflict, dark secrets, and captivating characters that jump off the page.
Charlotte Bronte has a way of making her characters real and relevant even in today's modern world. Jane Eyre is universally considered a classic book.
Throughout the book you get to grow and change with a young woman, Jane. She is faced with many difficult and challenging situations. The choices that she makes shapes and defines who she will become.
The setting is considered to be somewhat dark and Gothic in nature. Certainly this is not a light read. The setting adds to the heavy nature of the plot, theme, and characterization.
The plotline is exceedingly unpredictable at times; making for a very interesting read. Foreshadowing in this book is rich and the red herrings abound.
The themes in this book are very heavy and require a lot of introspection, I believe. Themes such as duty and honor over self advancement. Integrity over personal gain. And being utterly selfless when it comes to love.
Overall, this book was written fantastically and is a wonderful read.
