Why do we STILL read this book? The question should really be why wouldn’t we read this book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, especially because it had a certain quality about it that made me want to continue reading, so that I could find out what happened next. The storyline was great, but I believe people read this novel because of its amazing characters. They had such varied personalities, and were all so different from one another. Mr. Rochester, for example was practically the opposite of the typical “prince charming” , but something about that made him a more appealing character. It made him more real. People aren’t perfect like the fairytales, we all have varying personalities, and whatever so-called “flaws” we have, are actually perfection in-and-of itself. The themes of the novel reflect what people truly deal with in real life, making the novel so appealing. Jane’s story is about the struggles she faces while growing up, and I feel like one of the stronger messages of the novel is that you should never give up, in any circumstance. If you tried in the first place, it must have been important to you, so why give up later on? If you never give up, and you try your hardest, you can make it through the hard times, just like Jane did throughout her entire life.
