Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

3.0

Continuing the series of reading classics I'm completely ignorant about and being shocked by plots everyone knows, we have Jane Eyre. I thought this one would be darker, more like Wuthering Heights. Especially considering the woman trapped in the attic. Seemed like everyone was really quick to just say that's normal?? Like the issue here is that he's married, not that he keeps his wife chained up in the attic. Or the 20 year age gap and how condescending he is about his life experience. Jane briefly contemplates being single forever and I would've loved that for her.
