CHAPTERS 31-38 (AND FINAL THOUGHTS) RE-UPLOAD

.... Things are about to get real again, forgive me. I feel like this book has not been any good for myself because it keeps making my emotions go everywhere... Anyways let's begin the review. Once again I am truly sorry, had to re-upload this review as well for it would not show on my blog for some reason.

~~~~~~~~~

At Morton, the wealthy heiress Rosamond Oliver provides Jane with a cottage in which to live. Jane begins teaching, but to her own regret, she finds the work degrading and disappointing. While on a visit to Jane, St. John reveals that he, too, used to feel that he had made the wrong career choice, until one day he heard God’s call. Now he plans to become a missionary. The beautiful Rosamond Oliver then appears, interrupting St. John and Jane’s conversation. From their interaction, Jane believes that Rosamond and St. John are in love.

... Oh my lord...

~~~~~~~~~

Jane’s students become more familiar and endeared to her, and Jane becomes quite popular among them. At night, though, she has troubling nightmares that involve Rochester. Jane continues to pay attention to the relationship between St. John and Rosamond, who often visits the school when she knows St. John will be there. Rosamond asks Jane to draw her portrait, and as she is working on it one day, St. John pays her a visit. He gives her a new book of poetry (Sir Walter Scott’s Marmion) and looks at the drawing. She offers to draw him a duplicate, and then boldly declares that he ought to marry Rosamond. St. John admits that he loves her and is tempted by her beauty, but he explains that he refuses to allow worldly affection to interfere with his holy duties. The flirtatious, silly, and shallow Rosamond would make a terrible wife for a missionary. Suddenly, St. John notices something on the edge of Jane’s paper and tears off a tiny piece—Jane is not certain why. With a peculiar look on his face, he hurries from the room.

Boy what you take there! >^>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One snowy night, Jane sits reading Marmion when St. John appears at the door. Appearing troubled, he tells Jane the story of an orphan girl who became the governess at Thornfield Hall, then disappeared after nearly marrying Edward Rochester: this runaway governess’s name is James Eyre. Until this point, Jane has been cautious not to reveal her past and has given the Rivers a false name. Thus although it is clear that St. John suspects her of being the woman about whom he speaks, she does not immediately identify herself to him. He says that he has received a letter from a solicitor named Mr. Briggs intimating that it is extremely important that this Jane Eyre be found. Jane is only interested in whether Mr. Briggs has sent news of Rochester, but St. John says that Rochester’s well-being is not at issue: Jane Eyre must be found because her uncle, John Eyre, has died, leaving her the vast fortune of 20,000 pounds.

She then asks why Mr. Briggs would have sent him a letter about her at all. St. John explains that though he did not realize it before, he is her cousin: her Uncle John was his Uncle John, and his name is St. John Eyre Rivers. Jane is overjoyed to have found a family at long last, and she decides to divide her inheritance between her cousins and herself evenly, so that they each will inherit 5,000 pounds.

I have never freaked out more except for that one time in Chapters 29-30 about that whole scandal. Sheesh!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jane closes her school for Christmas and spends a happy time with her newfound cousins at Moor House. Diana and Mary are delighted with the improvements Jane has made at the school, but St. John seems colder and more distant than ever. He tells Jane that Rosamond is engaged to a rich man named Mr. Granby. One day, he asks Jane to give up her study of German and instead to learn “Hindustani” with him—the language he is learning to prepare for missionary work in India. As time goes by, St. John exerts a greater and greater influence on Jane; his power over her is almost uncanny. This leaves Jane feeling empty, cold, and sad, but she follows his wishes. At last, he asks her to go to India with him to be a missionary—and to be his wife. She agrees to go to India as a missionary but says that she will not be his wife because they are not in love. St. John harshly insists that she marry him, declaring that to refuse his proposal is the same as to deny the Christian faith. He abruptly leaves the room.

... Yeah I'm not gonna say anything, keeping my thoughts to myself. Prefer to keep playing it safe...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

During the following week, St. John continues to pressure Jane to marry him. She resists as kindly as she can, but her kindness only makes him insist more bitterly and unyieldingly that she accompany him to India as his wife. Diana tells Jane that she would be a fool to go to India with St. John, who considers her merely a tool to aid his great cause. After dinner, St. John prays for Jane, and she is overcome with awe at his powers of speech and his influence. She almost feels compelled to marry him, but at that moment she hears what she thinks is Rochester’s voice, calling her name as if from a great distance. Jane believes that something fateful has occurred, and St. John’s spell over her is broken.

Yeeeaaah I don't like this. Feel like some voodoo/black magic is at work here... Sheesh.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jane contemplates her supernatural experience of the previous night, wondering whether it was really Rochester’s voice that she heard calling to her and whether Rochester might actually be in trouble. She finds a note from St. John urging her to resist temptation, but nevertheless she boards a coach to Thornfield. She travels to the manor, anxious to see Rochester and reflecting on the ways in which her life has changed in the single year since she left. Once hopeless, alone, and impoverished, Jane now has friends, family, and a fortune. She hurries to the house after her coach arrives and is shocked to find Thornfield a charred ruin. She goes to an inn called the Rochester Arms to learn what has happened. Here, she learns that Bertha Mason set the house ablaze several months earlier. Rochester saved his servants and tried to save his wife, but she flung herself from the roof as the fire raged around her. In the fire, Rochester lost a hand and went blind. He has taken up residence in a house called Ferndean, located deep in the forest, with John and Mary, two elderly servants.

So... Bertha was nuts, and I don't know but I feel like Rochester's injuries were someone Karma for his mistakes and dark secrets. He was blind back then, let's see if blinding him for real will finally make his smart thinking actually show up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jane goes to Ferndean. From a distance, she sees Rochester reach a hand out of the door, testing for rain. His body looks the same, but his face is desperate and disconsolate. Rochester returns inside, and Jane approaches the house. She knocks, and Mary answers the door. Inside, Jane carries a tray to Rochester, who is unable to see her. When he realizes that Jane is in the room with him, he thinks she must be a ghost or spirit speaking to him. When he catches her hand, he takes her in his arms, and she promises never to leave him. The next morning they walk through the woods, and Jane tells Rochester about her experiences the previous year. She has to assure him that she is not in love with St. John. He asks her again to marry him, and she says yes—they are now free from the specter of Bertha Mason. Rochester tells Jane that a few nights earlier, in a moment of desperation, he called out her name and thought he heard her answer. She does not wish to upset him or excite him in his fragile condition, and so she does not tell him about hearing his voice at Moor House.

I see some heaven and hell play in this... I don't know why. Is this one of those crazy love connections that very few people have? I heard it's true but it's rare.... Those two could possibly have that connection. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jane and Rochester marry with no witnesses other than the parson and the church clerk. Jane writes to her cousins with the news. St. John never acknowledges what has happened, but Mary and Diana write back with their good wishes. Jane visits Adèle at her school, and finds her unhappy. Remembering her own childhood experience, Jane moves Adèle to a more congenial school, and Adèle grows up to be a very pleasant and mild-mannered young woman.

Jane writes that she is narrating her story after ten years of marriage to Rochester, which she describes as inexpressibly blissful. They live as equals, and she helps him to cope with his blindness. After two years, Rochester begins to regain his vision in one eye, and when their first child—a boy—is born, Rochester is able to see the baby. Jane writes that Diana and Mary have both found husbands and that St. John went to India as he had planned. She notes that in his last letter, St. John claimed to have had a premonition of his own approaching death. She does not believe that she will hear from St. John again, but she does not grieve for him, saying that he has fulfilled his promise and done God’s work. She closes her book with a quote from his letter, in which he begs the Lord Jesus to come for him quickly.
The tears are spilling! So glad I'm not wearing mascara!

"No woman was ever nearer to her mate than I am: ever more absolutely bone of his bone, and flesh of his flesh. I know no weariness of my Edward’s society: he knows none of mine, any more than we each do of the pulsation of the heart that beats in our separate bosoms; consequently, we are ever together."-Jane Eyre
~~~~~~~~~~~
Lord this was interesting. The end has come guys and I think I need to go for some therapy because those book seriously messed me up. I really did end up enjoying this book. Held a lot of suspense that ended up making me want to keep reading. The beginning was never a favorite of mine but as I kept going it seriously started to draw me in. The ending, I was alright with it, not really disappointed. I enjoyed it and don't regret loving it. This novel amazed me and I truly did learn to not judge a book by its cover. 
I hope you all liked my reviews, I wanted to keep them real and not be so... Formal? Anyone can read these, didn't want people to be bored to death reading a review because many do get bored and at times fall asleep. I enjoyed doing this assignment, had fun with it. 

Chapters 24-30 Re-Upload

Hello loves! Sorry for this horrendously late review 😖 March was a stress coaster.... Who am I kidding this whole year was tough. 💀 Anyways I'm back and sad to announce this is the second to last review! The tears are spilling for both sadness and joy, you get the gist. I had to re-upload this review because it would not show for some reason on my blog so I do apologize for that. ANYWAYS let's begun shall we?

~~~~~~~~~~~

Now preparations for Jane and Rochester’s wedding do not run smoothly. Mrs. Fairfax treats Jane coldly because she doesn’t realize that Jane was already engaged to Rochester when she allowed him to kiss her. But even after she learns the truth, Mrs. Fairfax maintains her disapproval of the marriage.

..... I'm literally gritting my teeth remembering this, Mrs. Fairfax has literally been added to the list of "Reasons Why I Hate Being Part Of The Female Sex."

It's a real list that I own... ANYWAYS BACK TO THE REVIEW X-X

Jane feels unsettled, almost fearful, when Rochester calls her by what will soon be her name, Jane Rochester. Jane explains that everything feels impossibly ideal, like a fairy-tale or a daydream. Rochester certainly tries to turn Jane into a Cinderella-like figure: he tells her he will dress her in jewels and in finery befitting her new social station, at which point Jane becomes terrified and self-protective. She has a premonitory feeling that the wedding will not happen, and she decides to write her uncle, John Eyre, who is in Madeira. Jane reasons that if John Eyre were to make her his heir, her inheritance might put her on more equal footing with Rochester, which would make her feel less uncomfortable about the marriage.

My boy I swear to all that is good, which is not a lot in this era, if you hurt her I am coming for you...in my imagination... Let me stop 🤣😒

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jane’s wedding dress arrived, and underneath it was an expensive veil—Rochester’s wedding gift to Jane. 

Hmph, cute I guess

One night, Jane had a strange dream, in which a little child cried in her arms as Jane tried to make her way toward Rochester on a long, winding road. Rochester dismisses the dream as insignificant, but then she tells him about a second dream. This time, Jane loses her balance and the child falls from her knee. The dream was so disturbing that it roused Jane from her sleep, and she perceived “a form” rustling in her closet. It turned out to be a strange, savage-looking woman, who took Jane’s veil and tore it in two. 

This is giving me some serious shivers running down my back, yikes!😖

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FOLKS CHAPTER 26 IS SCANDALOUS!.... Great now I sound like my ninth grade english teacher. 😭 Moving along!

Alright so it's the wedding day! Everyone at the Church and two unknown strangers are present as well. When the priest asks if anyone objects to the ceremony, one of the strangers answers: “The marriage cannot go on: I declare the existence of an impediment.” Rochester attempts to proceed with the ceremony, but the stranger explains that Rochester is already married—his wife is a Creole woman whom Rochester wed fifteen years earlier in Jamaica.

I'm sorry WHAT!? Rochester you filthy low scum! Jane you deserve better! The make that I'm listening to raging metal music makes this so much worse cause it just feeds my anger! 💢

The speaker explains that he is a solicitor from London, and he introduces himself as Mr. Briggs. He produces a signed letter from Richard Mason affirming that Rochester is married to Mason’s sister, Bertha. Mr. Mason himself then steps forward to corroborate the story. After a moment of inarticulate fury, Rochester admits that his wife is alive and that in marrying Jane he would have been knowingly taking a second wife. No one in the community knows of his wife because she is mad, and Rochester keeps her locked away under the care of Grace Poole. But, he promises them all, Jane is completely ignorant of Bertha’s existence. He orders the crowd to come to Thornfield to see her, so that they may understand what impelled him to his present course of action.

I... Who... What?!

At Thornfield, the group climbs to the third story. Rochester points out the room where Bertha bit and stabbed her brother, and then he lifts a tapestry to uncover a second door. Inside the hidden room is Bertha Mason, under the care of Grace Poole. Jane writes:
"In the deep shade, at the farther end of the room, a figure ran backwards and forwards. What it was, whether beast or human being, one could not, at first sight tell: it grovelled, seemingly, on all fours; it snatched and growled like some strange wild animal: but it was covered with clothing, and a quantity of dark, grizzled hair, wild as a mane, hid its head and face."
I'm creeped out to the core.... And this description will forever haunt me. 

Bertha attempts to strangle Rochester, who reminds his audience, “this is the sole conjugal embrace I am ever to know.” Jane leaves the room with Mason and Briggs, who tells her that he learned of her intent to marry Jane via a letter from Jane’s uncle, John Eyre, to Mason. It turns out that the two men are acquaintances, and Mason had stopped in Madeira on his way back to Jamaica when John received Jane’s letter. Approaching death, John asked Mason to hurry to England to save his niece. After the wedding crowd disperses, Jane locks herself in her room and plunges into an inexpressible grief. She thinks about the almost calm manner in which the morning’s events unfolded and how it seems disproportionate to the immense effect those events will have on her life. She prays to God to be with her.

I'm not crying....You are... 

The incident of the “madwoman in the attic” is probably the most famous in Jane Eyre, and it has given rise to innumerable interpretations and symbolic readings. For example, Bertha Mason could represent the horror of Victorian marriage. Rochester claims to have imprisoned her because she is mad, but it is easy to imagine an opposite relation of cause and effect, in which years of enforced imprisonment and isolation have made her violently insane or, at least, increased her insanity. Thus, the madwoman in the attic could represent the confining and repressive aspects of Victorian wifehood, suggesting that the lack of autonomy and freedom in marriage suffocates women, threatening their mental and emotional health. Bertha’s tearing of Jane’s wedding veil could be seen as symbolizing her revolt against the institution of marriage. 

Still another interpretation of Bertha is that she is a double for Jane herself, the embodiment of Jane’s repressed fear and anger, both in regard to her specific situation and in regard to oppression. For although Jane declares her love for Rochester, her dreams and apprehensions suggest that she also secretly fears being married to him, perhaps even that she secretly wants to rage against the imprisonment that marriage could become for her. Although Jane does not manifest this fear or rage, Bertha does. Thus, Bertha tears the bridal veil, and it is Bertha’s existence that stops the wedding from going forth. against the imprisonment that marriage could become for her. Although Jane does not manifest this fear or rage, Bertha does. Thus, Bertha tears the bridal veil, and it is Bertha’s existence that stops the wedding from going forth.

Yeah this chapter seriously messed up my emotions and faith in humanity, I'm done. 💀😫

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jane feels torn. She doesn’t want to condemn Rochester to further misery, and a voice within her asks, “Who in the world cares for you?” Jane wonders how she could ever find another man who values her the way Rochester does, and whether, after a life of loneliness and neglect, she should leave the first man who has ever loved her. Yet her conscience tells her that she will respect herself all the more if she bears her suffering alone and does what she believes to be right. She tells Rochester that she must go, but she kisses his cheek and prays aloud for God to bless him as she departs. That night, Jane has a dream in which her mother tells her to flee temptation. She grabs her purse, sneaks down the stairs, and leaves Thornfield.

Hmm my heart... My gosh darn heart.. 💔 

~~~~~~~~~~~

Jane is taken by the Rivers siblings and spends three days recuperating her health. On the fourth day, she feels well again and follows the smell of baking bread into the kitchen, where she finds Hannah. Jane criticizes Hannah for judging her unfairly when she asked for help, and Hannah apologizes. Hannah tells the story of Mr. Rivers, the siblings’ father, who lost most of the family fortune in a bad business deal. In turn, Diana and Mary were forced to work as governesses—they are only at Marsh End (or Moor House) now because their father died three weeks ago. Jane then relates some of her own story and admits that Jane Elliott is not her real name.

I'm shook. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jane befriends Diana and Mary, who admire her drawings and give her books to read. St. John, on the other hand, remains distant and cold, although he is never unkind. After a month, Diana and Mary must return to their posts as governesses. St. John has found a position for Jane, running a charity school for girls in the town of Morton. Jane accepts, but St. John presumes that she will soon leave the school out of restlessness, perhaps because he himself is quite restless. His sisters suspect he will soon leave England for a missionary post overseas. St. John tells his sisters that their Uncle John has died and left them nothing, because all his money went to another, unknown, relative. Jane learns that it was Uncle John who led Mr. Rivers into his disastrous business deal.

~~~~~~~~~

That IS all! I know, it's a lot but a lot occurred in these chapters. My emotions were literally everywhere as I tried to stay calm. Hope you all enjoyed it! Can't believe I'm saying this but I really did start liking this book, huh. 🤔

Chapter 17-23 Review

And we are back, last time was crazy for me. Today, yikes

~~~~~~~~

Rochester has been gone for a week, and Jane is dismayed to learn that he may choose to depart for continental Europe without returning to Thornfield—according to Mrs. Fairfax, he could be gone for more than a year. A week later, however, Mrs. Fairfax receives word that Rochester will arrive in three days with a large group of guests. While she waits, Jane continues to be amazed by the apparently normal relations the strange, self–isolated Grace Poole enjoys with the rest of the staff. Jane also overhears a conversation in which a few of the servants discuss Grace’s high pay, and Jane is certain that she doesn’t know the entire truth about Grace Poole’s role at Thornfield.

I'm telling you, I do NOT trust Grace one bit. That woman was suspicious to me since she was first mentioned.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rochester arrives at last, accompanied by a party of elegant and aristocratic guests. Jane is forced to join the group but spends the evening watching them from a window seat. Blanche Ingram and her mother are among the party’s members, and they treat Jane with disdain and cruelty. Jane tries to leave the party, but Rochester stops her. He grudgingly allows her to go when he sees the tears brimming in her eyes. He informs her that she must come into the drawing room every evening during his guests’ stay at Thornfield. As they part, Rochester nearly lets slip more than he intends. “Good-night, my—” he says, before biting his lip.

I'm sorry your WHAT!? JUST SAY IT MAN! I swear these type of books always leave me hanging and angry.

Blanche Ingram... She disgust me. Marrying, for wealth? It's women like her that make me feel ashamed of being a part of the same sex as her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
One day, Mrs. Reed gives Jane a letter from her father’s brother, John Eyre. He declares that he wishes to adopt Jane and bequeath her his fortune. The letter is three years old; out of malice, Mrs. Reed did not forward it to Jane when she received it. In spite of her aunt’s behavior, Jane tries once more to smooth relations with the dying woman. But Mrs. Reed refuses, and, at midnight, she dies.

This was all honestly too crazy for me and my mind was just losing it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
The two seat themselves on a bench at the foot of the chestnut tree, and Rochester says: “we will sit there in peace to-night, though we should never more be destined to sit there together.” He tells Jane that he feels as though they are connected by a “cord of communion.” Jane sobs—“for I could repress what I endured no longer,” she tells us, “I was obliged to yield.” Jane confesses her love for Rochester, and to her surprise, he asks her to be his wife. She suspects that he is teasing her, but he convinces her otherwise by admitting that he only brought up marrying Blanche in order to arouse Jane’s jealousy. Convinced and elated, Jane accepts his proposal. A storm breaks, and the newly engaged couple hurries indoors through the rain. Rochester helps Jane out of her wet coat, and he seizes the opportunity to kiss her. Jane looks up to see Mrs. Fairfax watching, astonished. That night, a bolt of lightning splits the same chestnut tree under which Rochester and Jane had been sitting that evening.

This killed me... First I was sad, then happy, and then sad/annoyed. A tree splitting where they sat!? Come on! Let Jane be happy for once!

I can't really say anymore because this book has sincerely messed up my emotions and why of thinking. But I can't help it if I keep reading. This book is making me crazy, more than what I actually am.

Chapter 9-16 Review

Honestly running out of things to say...

This book so far is bringing me a lot of conflicted feelings. Never been such an emotional wreck in life. But surprisingly, I enjoy it.

Now I can't say much about Chapter 9...because I was basically crying through the whole thing so I don't remember much of what I tried to read through the heart break of how sick Helen Burns was. Don't even get me started when I read that she had died, not a pretty scene and not my best moment.

~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 11, Grace gave me the creeps. I do not trust a woman who lets out a strange, eerie laughter that echo's through the house. Getting some weird killer vibes here, horror movies have thought me well to not trust those types of people. Grace brings me so much suspicion.

~~~~~~~~~

"It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it. Millions are condemned to a stiller doom than mine, and millions are in silent revolt against their lot."

This has to be my favorite quote in Chapter 12. Jane finds life at Thornfield pleasant and comfortable. Adèle proves to be exuberant and intelligent, though spoiled and at times a bit petulant. Nonetheless, Jane is frequently restless and collects her thoughts while pacing Thornfield’s top-story passageway.

Chapter 14 had to honestly be my favorite. Was very interested in it all. Jane sees little of Rochester during his first days at Thornfield. One night, however, in his “after-dinner mood,” Rochester sends for Jane and Adèle. He gives Adèle the present she has been anxiously awaiting, and while Adèle plays, Rochester is uncharacteristically chatty with Jane. When Rochester asks Jane whether she thinks him handsome, she answers “no” without thinking, and from Rochester’s voluble reaction Jane concludes that he is slightly drunk. Rochester’s command that she converse with him makes Jane feel awkward, especially because he goes on to argue that her relationship to him is not one of servitude. Their conversation turns to the concepts of sin, forgiveness, and redemption. When Adèle mentions her mother, Jane is intrigued, and Rochester promises to explain more about the situation on a future occasion. All this leads to a huge scandal in Chapter 16.

Chapter 16, was a big one. The next morning, Jane is shocked to learn that the near tragedy of the night before has caused no scandal. The servants believe Rochester to have fallen asleep with a lit candle by his bed, and even Grace Poole shows no sign of guilt or remorse. Jane cannot imagine why an attempted murderer is allowed to continue working at Thornfield. I'm telling you! Grace gives me the creeps and one way or another she's involved. My gut never lies to me and I don't like. Gonna be watching out for her.

Jane however, she realizes that she is beginning to have feelings for Rochester and is disappointed that he will be away from Thornfield for several days. He has left to attend a party where he will be in the company of Blanche Ingram, a beautiful lady. Jane scolds herself for being disappointed by the news, and she resolves to restrain her flights of imaginative fancy by comparing her own portrait to one she has drawn of Blanche Ingram, noting how much plainer she is than the beautiful Blanche. This both makes me happy and then breaks my heart. Tragic how low her self-esteem is but it's normal for a woman to feel that... Especially in her situation.

Chapter 1-8 Review

Alright, I'm a be completely honest... I have no idea what the heck went on. My face is just blank and my head is doing some weird analization to sum up what I just read.  Chapter 1, alright she lives a hard life, completely understood. Chapters 2-8, dear Lord what did I just get myself into...

I don't hate it, but I'm still not a fan of it. I'm always trying to sum up the easiest way possible without all the extra stuff to figure out what on earth was occurring. It's interesting, however,  to the point where I want to continue reading to figure out what is happening.

Now Chapter 2, was honestly torture to poor Jane. When I read it, for some reason I remembered a horror movie where some random chick calls up a ghost to gain their revenge or something. Creepy but entertaining. Finding out that Jane is actually from a rich family in Chapter 3 blew me away. I do dislike the grandfather however, for taking Jane out of his will due to the fact he disapproved of his daughter marrying a impoverished clergyman.

Completely hate Mr. Brocklehurst, he's the worst man I've known of. And then people say children can be complicated... Honestly, humanity these days. There should be more people like Miss Temple, I like her a lot. She's an understanding person and I was glad she proved that Jane was a innocent young girl.  I'm proud of Jane too for excelling in drawing and French. Talented young girl.

Chapter 1 Review

Alright... First thing first, I have no idea how to feel about it. Giving me some conflicted feelings; one minute I'd be like "Oh, okay. Now, I understand" and the next I'd be like "Wait... I am so lost again." If I have to be honest though, I immediately don't like the mother presented in this book. Can quickly tell she is a rude one and has quiet a dislike towards Jane.

Found it adorable however on how Jane enjoys reading. Sad she got  interrupted by that no good John Reed. He is such a bully just like his mother, I hope some misfortune comes upon them. They treat that poor girl like a slave, an object.

Never have I ever gotten so mad at a book before. That beating was uncalled for, and then the Red room!? Is that a dungeon of some sort!? Jesus Christ,  seeing as to how horrible those people are I wouldn't be surprised if that was a dungeon. I truly hope Jane has strong enough will to overcome this and hopefully escape. For sure I would have tried if I was in her shoes. The nerve of those people infuriates me. This whole chapter did as a matter of fact.

Hello there! Pleasure to see you all. Hope you enjoy these next few days of me basically just giving feedback. Remember these are my personal thoughts on the book so you don't have to agree completely with everything/anything I say based on it so I would like no hate please. Feel free to comment based on your thoughts. Thank you for your corporation. ☺
