This wasn't great but this is my brand of Trash™️ so I loved it...😔💕
90% of this movie is literally just Rochester yelling and being a stupid dude bro but that's ok because boys'll be boys, y'know?😩

So I read Jane Eyre after I watched a confusing adaptation (2011, I literally never figured out who Adele was), and hearing a lot about it from friends. I expected to hate Rochester. I also expected to hate the final ship.
and I DID hate Rochester! He was such a jerk! The chapter where he proposes was awful. Why is he making her believe he’s going to marry Blanche if he’s in love with Jane? What is wrong with this man?!?
But then I met St. John Rivers and I was so extremely and totally creeped out that I honestly thought:
BRING ME BACK THE BIGAMIST
Cheered when she went back to find Rochester and then married him. Did not hate the final ship at all.
So I guess my assessment of men is mediated by the goodness of other men within book? Maybe I like Henry Crawford of Mansfield Park because the Bertrams suck so much? Maybe I like Gilbert Markham because the other men in Tenant are the bottom of the barrel? Like the scum under the bottom of the barrel or the bugs hiding under the barrel...
I don’t know. I try to be objective. But then I think the point of Mansfield Park is that you start to root for Henry and Fanny, or at least for Henry to be better. If I believe Gilbert is as bad as Arthur, than the ending of Tenant is just so freaking depressing. I guess I’m accepting the world the author built, she tells me Gilbert is essentially a good guy who messed up but is capable of growth, I’m in.
But I guess who is really objective anyway? As much as I true to use quotes and sources, are we not all half running on vibes?

jane getting worked up about how mr rochester could never seek to marry her when he could instead pursue blanche and then painting a beautiful watercolor portrait of blanche to look at constantly as a reminder of how much more desirable she is?????????

i wish there were romances/ships where you have a woman as like the grumpy/goth one and a man as the “sunshine”/cheery/slightly manic one

Look Jane is very brave and I love her dearly but I simply would have run away with Mr Rochester because I am indeed a whore

I joined Storygraph since something I wanted to do starting in 2024 was track what I read and Goodreads' UI looks awful, but I have to say, the ratings on Storygraph are even more brutal than goodreads?? like Jane Eyre has a 4.1? The Secret History a 4.2? I could go on with a lot of other examples, but are people okay? lol
I like the app overall-ish though. I feel like it could be more interactive on a community level, but I'll keep with it for now.
My username is linds_a_latte if anyone wants to add me : )

It's Jane Eyre time!
Thank you for making me laugh so hard 😂 This totally came out of nowhere and Jane Eyre didn't even finish second in the poll I did a while back
However, I will read it. Soon, I hope. I can't right now because 1) I'm on the 5th book of Lady Trent's memoirs and 2) I'm on vacation until the end of the month so I don't have my copy of Jane Eyre with me. But don't worry Anon, I will read Jane Eyre before the end of this year, I promise

There's a town in Sicily called Bronte, so naturally I now headcanon that Rochester's Italian mistress Giacinta was from there.
