Strange listening to this after such a long time - it was always my favourite book growing up and the cover of my paper copy is 80% sellotape from being read so much. 
There's definitely elements which went way over my head when I was younger

(particularly the age gaps, although I never really liked either of the love interests, and the language used to describe Mr Rochester's wife). But I still love Jane, and think she's such a good character, especially in the first half of the book - strong-willed, aware of injustices and wanting to fight them, clever, blunt, and witty. I also really love the way that female friendship is portrayed - I think Jane talks about these relationships in a much more significant way than her relationshios with men. I never felt like the book had a happy ending and I still feel the same.

I still really feel that this is a rewarding and worthwhile read though, and I enjoyed coming back to it after all this time.
