Matthew’s Reviews > Jane Eyre > Status Update

the whole sequence meeting mr rochester was described so intricately- could imagine it so clearly in my mind like it was in a movie, he doesn’t want anyone to know his business- he definitely could’ve just said who he was to jane once he realized she was thornfield’s governess so it’s a little weird imo what’s he hiding and he wants the cookie obv- jane reminds me of armin from aot actually

they were GRINDING in lowood like horrible conditions, mental abuse, david goggins would love it there - it’s weird bc jane seems to be getting goated she’s learning languages, writing, cooking there’s no way eliza and them r working this hard. helen makes me sad she’s just taking so much and OF COURSE shes the one who gets tuberculosis 😐”by dying young i will escape great sufferings” like cmon

this is the ultimate gothic setup. jane actually has it bad but im glad she hasn’t folded yet - she stood up to mrs reed, articulated her thoughts so clearly and clocked her bad. she’s so smart and knows she isn’t defined by what others say very inspiring - mr brocklehurst SUCKS like this dude is such a pretentious loser and im running out of space but lowk invested on jane revenge arc that mb will happen? idk
