POSSIBLE SPOILERS!
I read this novel a long time ago so my memory of it is a little hazy. I especially enjoyed the earlier parts of the novel, at the school. I could feel the tragedy and privations of that time.
However I read this book straight after reading "Women Who Love Too Much" so was disappointed by the end. Rochester is totally dependant on Jane, she becomes his carer, which I felt was somehow wrong in the sense that it doesn't have the ingredients of a healthy relationship and happy future.
I've had a peek at "Wide Sargasso Sea" which is meant to be a prequel to Jane Eyre. Must read it some time. It seems to show Rochester in a different light.
