Summary: Love Conquers All
Review: Like all great literature JANE EYRE can be read again and again revealing new truths and raising fresh questions. For instance, besides the romance between Jane and Edward there is also the contrast provided by the relationship between Jane and St. John.

Imagine what may happen if Jane accepts the marriage proposal of St. John and goes with him to some foreign land as the wife of a missionary? In answering that question while taking a closer look at the unfeeling St. John, we see an anti-Christian message in the book. Add to this mix the despicable Mr. Brocklehurst, the school manager who is also minister of Brocklebridge Church, and you receive a very negative view of Christianity. JANE EYRE is a love story with an anti-Christian bias - but the theme proclaiming that love can conquer all is still the dominant message of the novel.

The above represents only one perspective. The book of course can be read and interpreted from many other vantage points. For me that is its greatest strength and enjoyment.

Summary: Classic
Review: Jane Eyre is one of the best books I have ever had the pleasure of reading. It is descriptive, sentimental, sometimes amusing, very moralistic, and completely enrapturing. It's a wholly enjoyable book.

The only disagreeable quality is the French that's spoken for a short period of time. It's of nothing significant but one still wonders what they're discussing and must occasionally look up translations.

Next to Mr. Darcy (Pride and Prejudice), Mr. Rochester has to be one of the most appealing men (for his often cloaked sentimental personality) in literary history. Jane Eyre is a woman of great moral value and self-respect that any woman could rightly admire.

Summary: Take the warning
Review: "Jane Eyre" sounds zhen ai,the word of true love.To the readers and all the true love seekers,shall we learn something,it gives warning.There's something worth thinking twice.
A Rochester with a lunatic wife is just a metaphor.True love seekers may have dangerous trouble around,sometimes it's hidden,sometimes it looks under control.
A kind of ignorant love can turn out to be dangerous hatred if you stand off it, remember the lunatic.
And why didn't Jane Eyre forsee all these,in the novel she's too young to?If there's a wiser Jane,she wouldn't like to add more trouble from the very beginning,though she can face all the music,how could she bear even the thinking of the damage to Rochester.

Summary: A wonderful love story.
Review: After reading this story, I feel safe and sound, a large genuine feeling. Because this story is so sweet, not only from the love story of Eyre and Rochester is delightfully fresh, also I learn a lot from Eyre, she is strong, brave, independence, honest and friendly, I think she is a public notice of nowsday's women.
Eyre is a orphan whrn she was a child, but she never give up herself, I think many of Hong Kong people must study from her strong and face to their life, after reading this book, they might have some encouragement.
The most touching part of the story is the love story.I think it is wonderful! Eyre and Rochester have many of wave, althrough their love is not allow from those common people and Eyre once wanted to give up her love, but Rochester still love her deeply, I feel thouched after reading this book.
This book tell us what the true love is, I have learn a lot from it and I really love it!

Summary: The freedom of finding true love
Review: The book is about a girl, Jane Eyre, had a tragic childhood. Her childhood was dull and without anyone loved her, but she still lived bravely and did everything without regard. This was a romance novel which was written by Charlotte Bronte.
At the beginning, Jane Eyre parents were dead. She lived with her aunt. Her aunt hated Jane Eyre very much. She broke her promise to her husband to bring Jane up as her own daughter. However, she was sent to Lowood School, study French Drawing and Music for 8 years. Luckily, she met a good friend called Helen to share her happiness and sadness in school since both of them were an orphan girl. Helen was then died of fever. The experience in school made she more mature, sweet and brave. After that, she found a job in thomfield hall to be a governess of a girl under 14year old. Then, she fall in love with the girl¡¦s father, the master Rochester. Although many twists between them before they had married, they were still end up happily.
The book is a very famous love story. I like this book because the contradiction between two main characters, Jane and Rochester. It¡¦s different from others romance novel. It contains a lot of twist such as they loved each other but they were both afraid to tell their feeling to each other. It¡¦s because Rochester had a secret and Jane also had some misunderstanding to Rochester. Therefore, many love barriers between them. Besides, after Jane left Rochester. Jane still had many testes of true love. I dislike it only because the book contained many descriptions on background scene such as the background environment when Rochester requested Jane to be his wife. The background environment was a lightening shocking a big tree.
I highly recommend this book to the readers above 12 years old. It¡¦s because some young readers may not interest in this romance novel. Although the book contains 207 pages, I am pleased to read every page seriously. It is a wonderful story. I highly recommend it to you!!!

Summary: "Her coming was my hope each day her parting was my pain"
Review: "The truest love that ever heart felt at it's kindled core, did through each vein in quickened start, the tide of being pour. Her coming was my hope each day, her parting was my pain; The chance that did her steps delay was ice in every vein. I dreamed it would be nameless bliss, As I loved,loved to be: and to this object did I press as blind as eagerly. But wide as pathless was the space that lay our lives between, and dangerous as the foamy race of ocean surges green. And haunted as a robber-path through wilderness or wood; For might and right, and woa and wrath, between our spirits stood.
Well that's all that I can remember of the little song Rochester sang to Jane. I realy love the book. I cried when Helen Burns died, and I cried when Thornfield was a ruin, and I Laughed at how [bad] Wuthering Heights [is]! I even made started puting CBJE on my notebook. Which stands fo Charlotte Bronte Jane Eyre. I totaly recomend it, but you will cry trust me.

Summary: Jane Eyre
Review: This book is probably my favorite that I have ever read. The story is about a young governess who grew up as a neglected orphan. When she moves to the home of Rochester, her life takes quite a turn. Charlotte Bronte's writing style is sound, engaging, and beautiful. The heroine is easy to relate to and displays a strong, ... character. This book is passionate, romantic, mysterious, exciting, and altogether wonderful! I highly recommend it.

Summary: Raging emotions, strident feminism...COOL!
Review: JANE EYRE is a novel of destroyed conventions. At nearly each and every turn within its pages, there is some rule, some assumption of character and plot destroyed. In JANE EYRE, women fight back against tyrannical husbands, governesses 'look above their stations', mothers are absent and men are punished for their subjugation of women. Not content to only poke at society through the safety of a fictional character, Bronte also confronts literary conventions, constructing JANE EYRE as a Bildungsroman about a WOMAN, and an UNATTRACTIVE woman to boot. Is nothing sacred? NO. And this is what makes JANE EYRE such a wonderful read. Looking for just great wit, nascent feminism and in general a pretty good story addled with a few boring inanities about day-to-day life? Go buy a Jane Austen novel. JANE EYRE is nearly the antithesis of orderly Austen, a passionate display of feelings and emotions that would have made Austen's EMMA blush, a full-blown rebellion against the societal constraints upon women.

"Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties...they suffer from too rigid a restraint, too absolute a stagnation, precisely as men would suffer; and it is narrow-minded in their more privileged fellow creatures to say that they ought to confine themselves..." Within these few scathing lines is contained almost the entire sociological crux of the novel. For Jane, though outwardly calm as "women are supposed to be", is often raging inside at various acts of injustice perpetrated upon her. Sometimes she releases her feelings and vents, other times she swallows it "as women are supposed to" do. At this period of time, women in the upper class were mostly ornaments. When men spoke of their accomplishments, they meant things like a woman's ability to speak French, or her grace while playing a piano. Her business acumen would most likely not be counted an accomplishment, but a detraction, a manifestation of too spirited a personality, or too lively a mind. Hopeful mammas made sure that their little girls learned all the correct dances, could play an instrument and sing, or embroider, NOT complete ledgers. Bronte is urging that her fellow women not be confined to the pursuit of such activities, but allowed to exercise their minds and emotions in whatever direction they might want to...and in 1841!

It's a wild ride that never ceases to be entertaining. Don't miss JANE EYRE.
