Fruit for the intellect! Bronte's prose is simply divine, each beautifully-crafted sentence a joy for the soul. I found my philosophy of life in this excellent classic, which I have studied countless times and never tire from reading. From British Imperialism, to Feminist Orientalism and the Gothic, it has surely transformed my outlook on life itself. Jane is the quintessence of female independence. Jane and Rochester's relationship is perhaps the most authentic and true-to-life fictional relationship that I have read about (perhaps we might sneak in Jane Austen?) A sort of twist on the fairy-tale Beauty and the Beast. Simply marvellous.
