Ahahahahaha,
beatonna is AWESOME and this, people, is an example of why:
beatonna - Anne why are you writing books about how alcoholic losers ruin people's lives? Don't you see that romanticizing douchey behavior is the proper literary convention in this family! Honestly.
I laugh & laugh, and say WORD. Because Heathcliff is an arsehole, and Mr Rochester...well...Anonymous Commenter has this to say about him: To be fair, Jane Eyre does kind of insist that Rochester stops acting like a douche before uniting with him in married bliss. In order to achieve this, though, he does have to go blind. Got to love Victorian morality tales. So, yeah.
