Jo’s comments from the Jane Eyre Buddy Read group.

What do you think is wrong with Rochester's wife? Did you expect that there would be something as mysterious as this situation in this book?

Did the fact that Rochester loves Jane surprise you? How do you suppose he thinks he can get around the fact that he has a wife already?

Why do you think that Mrs. Reed still treats Jane badly? Is there anything strange about the way that Jane responds to the knowledge that her uncle would like to know more about her and would have provided for her all along?

What do you believe to be the relationship between Rochester and Mason?

Did you suspect that Rochester was the "fortune teller?" If not, who did you suspect?

This is awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!

Hahaha... I am trying to use my phone to do this, and I'm not sure what I'm doing..

Hello??

Did you suspect that the fortune teller was a fake? Who did you think it was?

I also loved that exchange between our two characters! AND, this book gets more mysterious every chapter; a turn that I did not expect! I love it!

Do you think that Mr. Rochester experienced "love at first sight?" What makes you think yes OR no??

So, what do you think of Grace Poole, AND what part will she play in this story?

After thinking about Helen and what she was for Jane, I think she represented Jane's maturity. Through Helen, Jane realized that facing adversity was part of life and that SOMETIMES we must be mature for the better good.

I think this is very helpful! Though the original language is English, words come in and out of fashion sometimes. People cease to use them and then we lose them from our vocabulary.

How are you enjoying the book? Do you think it still speaks to readers as it has in the past?

How are you enjoying the book so far??

Were you surprised that Miss Temple left the school?

Do you think that Helen Burns is presented as symbolism for something within Jane??

I loved Jane's victory over Mrs. Reed! She is such a strong character even this early in the novel!
