At this point, I am re-reading Jane Eyre in the form of an audiobook by Thandie Newton. Love her narration!

The Wide Sargasso Sea is all I could think of when I read Jane Éyre. The way that Bertha is treated in WSS made me furious. So, reading Jane Éyre, I keep thinking of the poor woman who is trapped in the attic. Jane thinks she found love, but the jerk never says he is already married. Nor does he even plan to tell her. Then she returns??? The idea of coming back to a man who not only was dishonest but was going to make you fool is crazy to me. Jane returns to a broken man, a burned home, and her place as his care giver and wife. Why would someone want that when she could have freedom? Is the lure of a man in your bed so much? I didn't understand and I never will.kaytie wrote:I love Jane Eyre! There's also a book called Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys that explores (in a very different style) the life of Bertha, the crazy woman in the attic, which is definitely worth reading.
