I fell in love with the Brontë sisters. After I finished Wuthering Heights from Emily Brontë which was intricately marvelous, Jane Eyre, with some spins and touch of Gothic theme, set a good degree of what passions are about. The Victorian background did not dispel some discourses about equality and women movement as well as rebelling against religious values. There were several sets in the book which keep adding more characters, yet I still enjoy the depth of the characters. I simply appreciate the emotion played in the story from when Jane was a mere child and cruelly treated by her aunts and cousins, to the romance world she went through. Moreover, this book reflects the nature of a human being, where mistakes could be done, so pure and not over-exaggerated. I also find the book fascinating for infusing some symbols like class and identity.
