With only a small number of pages left, I decided to write about this classic's protagonist.

She was created almost 200 years ago and is still acknowledged today.
J.E. (I will use only her initials so you can try to guess if you know who I am depicting) tells her own story with exquisite detail.
Ever since her childhood, as an orphan, she has had to be ready to stand up for herself and defend herself. Whenever someone treats her in an unfair manner, J.E. doesn't hesitate to speak her mind. She must have been born stubborn.
This asset -for her it has mainly worked in her advantage- she carries with her to new settings from her youth to her adulthood. It brings her to joy when she meets a man whom she falls in love with. Much to her surprise and puzzlement, she finds out that the feeling is mutual. This favorable twist of fate brings her close to marriage, only to find herself upon the hardest choice of her life forcing her to leap into the unknown with absolutely nothing. No money, no relations and no destination, but a strong determination drive her to survive absolute poverty and solitude.
Her willpower is the driving force which eventually brings her to a situation where she finds herself richer than ever.
What goes around comes around. This is what I think should be learned from her rough life. Also, she reminded me to never give up and that with the right attitude, anything you put your mind to is indeed possible.
So thank you Charlotte Brönte for (drum roll)

-Jane Eyre!
I enjoyed reading about her life. It was especially interesting to notice that even as life in the 19th century was so different, a strong woman like Jane's aspirations would fit todays world also. At least in a figurative sense.


Did anyone guess that that I was writing about Jane Eyre?
