"Jane Eyre" - A Novel Beyond Time and Space Recently, because of the review of "Jane Eyre", I have a great interest in the writers and novels of that period. I have read Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, South and North, etc. . It is very emotional, the love story 200 years ago is still very attractive to us now. Seeing a short comment, Woolf believes that Jane Eyre and Austen's book fans are naturally opposed, saying that Jane Eyre's novel is relatively narrow, and that it lacks a broad vision and so on. After I saw it, I was very angry. Of course, as a book reviewer, if you look at any work, you can probably pick out shortcomings and flaws from it! I think Austen's novels are fairytale love stories. For Ms. Austen, the pattern and significance of her works are higher than the circle and era in which she lived. She advocates that both parties in love respect each other and cannot marry because of money, status, wealth and status. Such a concept of marriage and love is beyond that era. At the same time, its novels show the customs of that era, which is very interesting. I think that's the point of her work. And Jane Eyre, I think this novel is not only beyond the era of Ms. Charlotte Bronte, but I think Jane Eyre has a stronger sense of life. Its influence is deeper in time and space than Austen's novels. Many people watch Jane Eyre as a love movie, a female inspirational drama. But in my opinion, it has an exploration of life, what is the relationship between the world around me and me? What is my meaning in the universe? It is thinking about the meaning of loneliness, the meaning of self-esteem, the meaning of life. So from my point of view, Austen's novels will still be read in another 50 or 100 years, but Jane Eyre's influence is definitely older than Austen's. Both Austen and Bronte's novels are, in my opinion, excellent works. I personally prefer Jane Eyre, it's very shocking. Because of Woolf's criticism, I deliberately checked her life and works, but I didn't expect it to be a very tragic story... The ordeals that many cultural women have endured are much deeper and longer...

    It feels awkward to see Toby Stephens again because of the Vexed I watched earlier. But after watching two episodes, I entered the state. This Jane played very well. I can't remember the story of Jane Eyre, but I always like Jane very much.

Jane Eyre quotes

  • Edward Fairfax Rochester: She saves me from an inferno and she's glad she happened to be awake.

  • Jane Eyre: Hurry, Hannah. We must light the fires before they arrive.

    Hannah: [to St.John] She wants fire in every room, in places where they never were.

    Jane Eyre: What's the use of five thousands pounds if you can't light a few fires at Christmas?

    St John Rivers: Twenty thousands.

    Jane Eyre: St. John, I'll not hear another word. We've been over it again and again. Our uncle left a nephew and three nieces. We must all profit from his will equally.

    St John Rivers: Jane, you've never had money. You do not know what use you may put it to.

    Jane Eyre: And you've never been without family. I will have a brother and sisters, and a home.

    St John Rivers: I'll be a brother to you, whether you share the money our uncle left you, you and only you, or not.

    Jane Eyre: Leaving you with nothing, unable to realize your dreams and me with a fortune. I know enough about money to realize that will not make me happy

    St John Rivers: What of the future? If you should marry?

    Jane Eyre: I'll never marry.
