    Rachnaa--You do a lot of texting, don't you? I can tell because of the nearly incomprehensible language of the review. You might want to remember that Shelfari reaches a much wider audience than those whom you communicate with via a cell phone or Blackberry or whatever. We technologically outdated people thank you.

    I think your theory of Bronte's novel is very accurate.

    It's fascinating how you can read this story every decade of your life and come away each time with a new perspective. In college, I was sad that she didn't hook up with the handsome guy. In my 20s/30s, her choice made perfect sense, and now in my mid-40s, I am starting to wonder too why she didnt just make a clean break from the whole lifestyle and go to a big city or something. Yes, one's eyes definitely open up to choices. But the authors didnt' have life choices. They were stuck in their lives so of course it's going to show in Jane's lifestyle.

    I suppose that is true, she only looked at the two proposals, but when you have found someone you love, does that mean you have to go look for another, because "gee" that was the only proposal you have gotten? Maybe you think that way, but the hopless romantic inside of me thinks otherwise. :) an as for anne-marie r I always thought that the book was a bit gloomy, but then with her life, who wouldn't be? And it makes sense how once Mr. rochester was blind and crippled he was then equal, but once again the romanctic within rebels and believes that she went back because he was hurt and she loved him no matter what. But I can definitely see where everyone is coming from.

    I recently read a paper which asserted that Jane couldn't trust in Rochester's love because her childhood had left her with a deep sense of her own inadequacy. It was only when he was blind and crippled that she could feel like his equal and accept his love. I don't remember the book all that well -- accept for my feelings of overwhelming loathing -- but I DO remember a stifling air of bleakness that hung over the whole affair. That may be why this paper made a lot of sense to me.

    okay, you're right, I got that backwards. But that only goes to further support that she set her heart on Mr. Rochester. She didn't want to be married to a man she didn't love. She would rather risk her reputation than marry the wrong guy. She wasn't desperate to "get married".
