She resembled her heroine Jane in both spirit and body, though her life did not have the triumphant ending she could create in fiction. In the one hundred and fifty-four years since the publication of Jane Eyre , millions of readers have been grateful that, with all her tribulation, Bronte found the courage to exercise her tremendous creative talent. Readers Comment on Jane Eyre Jane Eyre struck a chord with many Meridian readers.
Every action explained by the author is turned in to a flowing descriptive verse.
I am really enjoying the book. I appreciate the strength and dignity that Jane has. I think her trials gave her a sort of quiet demeanor that is sometimes rare to find in our noisy world. She seems very strong for one who came from such difficult circumstances. I wonder if the ease of our world does not give us as much opportunity to gain that strength.
