Plain Jane has had a pretty rough life. She had no parents, no money, and hardly any happiness. She had to deal with her evil aunt and cousins, being judged for being a governess, and her low self esteem. She comes across Mr. Rochester, who is still less than kind to her. Finally, she comes to terms with Mr. Rochester and they fall in love. I feel like she became very happy for the first time in her life. Then it comes out that he is already married to crazy lady Bertha. Poor Jane.
If I were Jane, I would stay with Rochester. He was just too ashamed to tell Jane that he was already married. He obviously didn't love Bertha, he loved Jane. He didn't really do anything wrong towards Jane, and so if I were her, I would still stay with him.
I liked the book for the most part. Sometimes it got quite slow, but other times it was very interesting. I really liked Jane as a character and I was glad that the book was written in first person so that I knew exactly what she was thinking. I did not like how Adele spoke in French. I know that she evidently didn't say anything important, but it was still distracting. I wish that the book was a bit shorter for the most part.
I guess this is a good book to be taught. It is one of the most famous pieces of literature, and this is a literature class. It was a perfect demonstration of motifs as well. However, it was quite long. It was hard to get caught up if you were behind. I also wish that it had more of an interesting plot. I got bored after a while because she would just be talking to Mrs. Fairfax for like 10 pages. I would pick a shorter book.
