cool book

Jane seems to be quite the women with little to no moral values. She supports bigamy and lies. She just recently told everyone what her real name is and she gets mad at Hannah for judging her. A bit hypocritical if you ask me, she isn't the model citizen one might have originally thought. The book has been rather boring up until this point. Now that she is getting a job, running away. This girl is quite the rebel. She is more fun to read about now that she is breaking the rules and going "against the grain". I am happy with the way that Jane is starting to live her life, up until now she has been pushed around and now she is stomping her foot down and doing things for herself. Life is turning out better and better each day for dear Jane.

Glad to see you posting again, Stu--though are we reading the same book? I'm surprised to hear you claim that Jane is a woman who has no sense of morals (why did she flee Thornfield in the first place)? Indeed, other than her upbraiding of Hannah (which did seem a bit over-the-top, but nonetheless consistent with the way she has reproached others (Mrs. Reed, for example), it seems that many of your characterizations in this brief post are not really supported by the text. Hmmm...
