Hello everybody! I would like to share my expectations and revelations conserning our new book "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte. From the very beggining I knew that it is a wonderful book, a sad story with happy end. I've seen a movie based on this book, and I loved it. Now I would like to compare the book and the movie. For sure, there is a bit of discomparancy between them.
Firstly, I would like to describe the characters of the book. The main character is Jane Eyre, she's a ten-year-old girl. She's an orphan, a burden for her aunt. When Jane's parents died, she remained with her uncle and aunt. Jane's uncle Mr. Reed's last will was to take care about the child like it is his wife's own child. But Mrs. Reed doesn't realize this will, she punishes Jane with purpose and without it. Mrs. Reed has three own children, whom she sencerely loves: Eliza, John and Geogiana. John Reed - a schoolboy of fourteen years old, large and fat, who eats too much and who lookes pale and ill, is very disobedient. He used to beat Jane, but his mother puts on a semblance that nothing strange happens. Eliza - Mrs. Reed daughter is selfish, Georgiana is wicked. But everybody in the house say that it is Jane who has got all these flaws. Servants mention that Jane Eyre isn't equal of Mrs. Reed's children. Nobody understands Jane, a simple lovely child, who loves reading books, who does all possible in order to please her aunt and not to be punished. All the people see Jane as an unthankful monster, a deceitful thing.
One day a strange man with a great nose, a big mouth and large teeth comes Jane's "home" and he talks to little girl. After their conversation about death and Bible, Mrs. Reed and Mr. Brocklehurst decide to send Jane to Lowood. It is a kind of school, where girls are supposed to pray, to study, and they aren't aloowed to go home even for vacations.
Jane isn't sad, she's happy not to live with her severe aunt and her selfish children anymore.
I'm eager to know what will happen with Jane Eyre later. I promise I will post all that I read and I will share my impressions with you, my sead fellows and teacher.
Good LucK!!!
Hugs!
