I didn't read Jane Eyre until I was in my 30's. I don't remember much of what I read in middle school, just "The Pearl" which started my lifelong hatred of John Steinbeck.
I also remember a short story called "Lamb to the Slaughter." I had to look that one up, I couldn't remember the title.
I don't think I would appreciated Jane Eyre when I was a tween. For one thing it's not a quick read.
