When I read Jane Eyre this past summer, I became enthralled in the language and depth each page brought. Bronte developed each character masterfully and with a depth that I have never before seen. Her use of syntax, diction, and other rhetorical devices brought each character to life. Bronte depicts a world filled with the complexities of human nature and existence. Jane saw everything through such a narrow field of vision. Her character allowed me to experience something I had never before known. Jane established a form of love that was extraneous to me prior. She developed relationships .....I saw parts of myself within Jane, and that led to a further understanding of myself and the raw existence of man. Bronte's novel, Jane Eyre, gave me that. Jane lived her life without any thought of selflessness. All she knew was emotion. That gave her a quality that is rarely seen today; for good or for bad. I was so immersed in the novel, I read it in two days. While on vacation, it gave me an escape from many of the redundancies of daily life. I also identified with many of the characters. Each had their own intricacies that were exaggerated in a state of constant hyperbole. Mr. Rochester symbolizes reason giving way to passion. This wouldn't have been possible without Bronte's excellent diction and imagery. Ms. Reed, Mr. Rochester, Helen Burns and Adele have their own eccentric and very deep personalities. The novel and my understanding of it wouldn't be the same without them. Jane had to find herself before she could commit to Mr.Rochester. She had to fullfill her endevour of sacrafice and hardship before she could experience joy. Jane's life is filled with many of the little intricacies of love and sacrafice we rarely discuss in today's society....
