In which order depends on your reading preferences. My favorite, by far, was Jane Eyre. Written in a sensationalist romantic style, it still has moral, depth, and an interesting plot, and twists and turns that not only advance the plot but inform on the moral. It also has characters which are more than pieces of cardboard. Wuthering Heights on the other hand reads like a straight up sensationalist novel. It took me three tries to get through Wuthering Heights, it moved so slowly in the beginning and middle and when I was done, I did not feel the better for it. But it is a classic and helps you get a handle on the different styles of the Bronte sisters, so it is worth it to get through. (less)

M'encanta. L'he llegit mil cops. O més. De les poques novel·les que rellegeixo. Me'n vaig enamorar quan era jove, una mica més que ara, i hi torno de tant en tant, quan estic tova, quan no puc dormir...


L'he tornat a llegir. La febre i el mal de coll em posen trista, Jane Eyre em recomforta. Hi ha qui quan està malalt vol la mama, jo vull Jane Eyre.

La història de la Jane i la societat victoriana en la què viu, amb la seva moral i les seves convicciones, els seus prejudicis i les seves desigualtats.
La història d'un personatge protofeminista que es fa valorar pel seu jo profund, més enllà del seu jo superficial.
La història d'un jo amb raó i sentiments, però també amb valors i principis sòlids que no tremolen ni en les circumstàncies més adverses.
La història d'una jove intel·ligent que busca la seva autonomia i independència, més enllà de les

Relectura d'un gran clàssic. Què he de dir? Sublim.

OPINIÓ PERSONAL:

Tenia moltes ganes de llegir aquest llibre perquè temps enrere n'havia vist una pel·lícula, que em va agradar molt i estava convençuda que la novel·la seria extraordinària i així ha estat perquè realment he gaudit d'aquesta lectura.

Aquest llibre explica la història de la vida de Jane Eyre. Amb vuit anys, la Jane va haver de traslladar-se a Gateshead a viure amb la seva tieta i cosins a causa de la mort dels seus pares. Com que mai no va ser acceptada per la nova família, qui la c

Tenint en compte que Charlotte Brontë va escriure Jane Eyre el 1847, la novel·la és molt interessant. M'ha agradat especialment el caràcter apassionat que l'autroa dóna a Jane Eyre i el fet que no se n'avergonyeixi. També he trobat discursos feministes i anti-classistes que avui en dia, 170 anys després, encara tenen vigència. Potser la part que més m'ha costat és la religiosa, ja que no hi estic interessada i també perquè trobo que la religió genera una excessiva opressió sobre la Jane Eyre. No ...more
