Hum..

Charlotte Bronte's writings are very unique and exquisite, I have come to enjoy her as a writing as I have proceeded into the book. The way in which she uses her language to paint the pictures of which Jane illustrated was very tasteful, not only did she place upon the reader a great visual, but she added significant meaning to each piece as an individual item. In addition, Bronte has Jane speak with such eloquence, it has demonstrated to me how much English has been butchered being passed down from generation to generation. Today the vocabulary used is at a primitive level, whereas during Jane’s time the vocabulary had much more depth and range. Moreover, I have enjoyed Bronte’s passages in which she talks directly to the reader. As the reader, being directly addressed adds excitement and pulls me back into the story.
Furthermore, though reading about Ms. Ingram I have come to greatly dislike her. She is stuck-up and prissy. She has illustrated a stern hatred towards Jane, where none is called for. At this point I see no reason for Ms. Ingram to be so foul and unappreciative of Jane’s presence. It brings up the question of jealously. Does she shun Jane because she feels that she has something with Mr. Rochester, or has she merely deemed her as a lesser equal?
Additionally, from the beginning I had a feeling that Mr. Rochester was behind the incident with the gypsy. However, he himself playing the role of the gypsy threw me off guard. Had he wished to see Jane in order to uncover her emotions? In throwing out the announcement of the marriage between Ms. Ingram and himself, was he searching for a distinct reaction from Jane? Then, after concluding this session, he stated he wished that he could be on a private island with Jane. By doing so he is demonstrating that he desires to be alone with Jane for an extended period of time. Does he mean what he says or is he fiddling around with her youthful emotions? I presume that these are questions that can only be answered in continuing reading. I look forward to reading the rest of Jane Eyre. In the beginning this book was difficult to get into the flow of, but now that I have gotten into the book farther it is captivating my interest, and difficult to put down.
