Jane Eyre is an exciting novel containing the story of a tragic young girl’s amazing twist of fate. It is interesting, real, and different. It is those characteristics that make a reader want to continue reading any book, especially a classic. Unfortunately, to many high school students, hearing a book being classified as a “classic” is an instant turn off. Fortunately, Jane Eyre seemed to be an exception. I actually found it to be quite interesting. I felt like it was a relatable and “real” story. This quality is what separates Jane Eyre from many other classics. This is also how Charlotte Bronte draws in her readers. In my opinion, she did a very good job of that in this novel. The entire novel seemed to be filled with a type of symbolism undertone. All along, we are reading about her life, which symbolizes change. As we watch Jane grow and become a better, stronger person, we realize that that could be us. We could also symbolize change, and be an example for others. This was also nice to me. I really enjoyed the topics and ideas brought up throughout the entire novel.
