The intensity of feeling as a child, the impact of events on a person, the rebellion against injustice.
The first ten chapters are quite compelling and read easily. Also they give me a kind of Harry Potter vibe with the orphan being treated badly and the boarding school.

Still this doesn’t really pull me in and the introduction of St John and his sisters is a bit sudden after 2/3 of the book being focused on Mr Rochester and his house

The love feelings of Jane are well depicted and you feel a kind of bubbling joy in chapters 23 and 24.

Interesting how power dynamics play such a role in their relationship, its almost like Naoise Dolan her reflections on money in relationships in Exciting Times, a kind of strange love/fighting

Quite like the banter between Mr Rochester and Jane, and how unwilling she is to recognize her feelings for him. It does often remind me that she is only 18, it feels rather romcom at times
