Jane Eyre

I haven’t read this book for six years so it needed a revisit.  It’s still brilliant and there’s no question of it being a classic that has endured time.  Hollywood hasn’t figured out how to do a great version of this yet.  The William Hurt version I watched recently was a dud.  There was no mystery to Mr. Rochester in that movie.   Jane Eyre is the story of a homely girl becoming a governess and her relationship with her master Mr. Rochester.  Yet there’s one major drawback his crazy wife in the attic.  Women didn’t really have many options at the time of Jane Eyre time though.  It was either Mr. Rochester or Mr. Rivers.  I have to admit Mr. Rochester is far more interesting.   My older sister told me that Charlotte’s Villette is pretty good too so I purchased that recently.
