Writer's Block: Once upon a time…

Aug 24, 2011 15:40

There was no possibility of taking a walk that day.

If you don't know where that line is from, you don't know me well enough.  :)

Yes, my favorite book in the whole entire universe is Jane Eyre. An Autobiography by Currer Bell.  Charlotte Brontë.  Why?  Because every time I read this masterpiece, I fall in love with it all over again.

I love how Jane is a no nonsense type of woman.  She knows what she's capable of and does not complain over the things she does not have.  And I also love - actually, it's what I love the most about this - Edward Fairfax Rochester.  Some say he was cruel to Jane.  I didn't think so.  You want cruel, call upon Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy.  LMAO.  If you ask me, Rochester just didn't know how to handle someone like Jane.  It's like when we're kids... there's a boy teasing you, pushing you to the sand to get your attention because he likes you (but hates cooties more than he likes you).  It was so clear that he loved Jane from the moment they were properly introduced.  Frankly, it was Jane's attraction that wasn't clear until she said it herself.

I encourage EVERYONE to read this beauty at least once in their life.  It's a bit to go through but you won't regret it.
