I've read it more times than I can remember. It has come to haunt me a little over the years.... I adore it, but then, I was never forced to study it and maybe therein lies the key :cool:

I think that it may well be. Have you read Wide Sargasso Sea incidentally?

Yes, I have it... I was forced to study it alongside postcolonial and feminist theory :cool: and yes, that was as awful as it sounds :) I can appreciate it as a brave work but didn't really enjoy it. As a story, part of the allure of Jane Eyre is the mystery surrounding Bertha -- I didn't really want it explaining to me... but that's just my reaction to it.

Is this where you disagree and tell me how brilliant it is?

Nah, everyone would fall asleep reading it :D.



I had to read it for GCSE, and I wasn't thrilled. I understand better now that I'm older, but it still wouldn't get into my favourite list :p.

I thought the "GCSE" change (as opposed to O-levels) was more recent. Or do I have my dates/ your age wrong???

Nope, I wasn't a fan of Wide Sargasso Sea either, but there was a reasonable television adaptation of it not so long ago.

I've studied postcolonial and feminist theories of geography, and that was pretty boring, so I empathise.

GCSEs were introduced in 1988 ;).

Never saw the TV version. Yet another thing my grinchly self is not a fan of..... TV and film adaptations....not many stand up to the stories.

Nor do I like geography much.

Cake, however...:D

I take it you're not a fan of all the Jane Eyre adaptations in that case :p:D? I thought that the most recent BBC one was pretty good.

I like physical geography (no double entendre intended :D), but human geography is terminally tedious.

You want cake? I have cake; still with chocolate too :D.

Ok, THAT is among the few that stand up to my immensely picky set of criteria :D:p:p:p
