ohmy.gif Is this instead of reading the book?

I think I've read Jane Eyre about 3 times. Reader, I married him. *sigh*

No, I've read the book. I feel it'll be useful for revision, maybe help me remember quotes and things?

In that case, a jolly good idea. Actually, I think I tried a similar thing with James Joyce's Dubliners at A level. It may have worked...

Have you ever read Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys? If you end up doing English at Uni you might have to read it in conjunction with JE as it's a story about Mrs Rochester. Worth reading even if you don't want to do English at Uni, actually! rolleyes.gif

No, never read it! Mrs Rochester as in Bertha Mason?

The very same. Jane Eyre is a book that has attracted at LOT of critics who variously use it to demonstrate their ideas on gender (treatment of women, the incarceration of Bertha), race and colonialism (B is supposed to be Jamaican, or something), class mobility (from poor little orphan to Mrs Rochester The Second in however-many pages it is) and other stuff. Quite interesting if you get into it. Quite tedious if you are into it for too long, though... huh.gif smile.gif Hope you're enjoying it. Are you thinking of doing an English degree, perchance?

I have often heard of Wide Sargasso Sea, keep thinking I must read it...
