Unfortunately, I only have time for the required reading at Uni at the moment. So I am rereading (in preparation for my essay due next week) "Jane Eyre" and "Wide Sargasso Sea", and reading poetry.
I can't stand JE. Call me a cynical 21st century dweller, but I cannot stand the book.
Rochester says "Must you leave?"
Jane says "Yes, I must."
Rochester says "So you are leaving?"
Jane says "Yes, I am."
Rochester says "But won't you stay?"
Jane says "No, I won't."After 22 PAGES Jane finally gets to the door, only to turn around, go back, and do it all over again!!! My God, 5 pages would have been romantic. 10 pages would have been over the top. 15 pages would move into boredom territory. 22 PAGES is enough to make me want to shred the book.
ARGH!
