#forgave him at once...girl i'd have scratched his eyes out

[thegeminisage]

also, i got to the part in jane eyre with the wedding and i am more gobsmacked than ever. NOT ONLY did this book suddenly increase a level in racism but rochester confessed to 1. making jane think he was gonna marry that other lady so she'd be jealous 2. secret attic wife and jane is like. reader i forgave him immediately. GIRL HIS WIFE WAS IN YOUR ROOM TEARING YOUR SHIT UP. wake up!!! get out of there!!!!! i mean she literally did decide to leave and good for her i was HOLLERING but oh my god every single thing he did in the month up to the wedding was a red flag.

i also just realized that had she not been lovesick fooling around with him in that time she might have gotten to meet her uncle before he kicked it??? like. i don't think a single good thing has happened to jane in this entire book that wasn't made worse later:

orphaned, child abuse

got sent away to school, but school sucked bad because of bullies and starvation and sickness etc

made a friend, but her friend died

got a job that wasn't at school, but there's a crazy lady in the house and there's also rochester, who might be worse

mrs reed finally died, but she kept the secret of the uncle from jane

proposed to by a rich guy, but he's already married

was able to contact her uncle, sort of, but he's gonna be dead before she can ever meet him

LIKE CAN WE HAVE ONE GOOD THING. can one single good thing happen to jane. if her happy ending is marrying that wackjob im gonna throw my phone against the wall

#personal #jane eyre blogging #it sounds like i'm not enjoying myself which like #a valid interpretation #but i also can't put it down because jane is the best person who ever lived maybe #forgave him at once...girl i'd have scratched his eyes out
