I have become so obsessed with Jane Eyre in the past 100 hours, it is ridiculous. I really couldn't think of anything else yesterday, even when I was writing my paper over Wuthering Heights. That was problematic. To combat this, I listened to the Pride and Prejudice soundtrack, which took a good measure of gothic out of my system.
I think Jane is my newest heroine. And maybe my favorite.
The truth is that I admire 19th century feminists. They got kind of crazy in the 20th century, but in the 1800s I definitely would've joined the band wagon. I love reading what they write, and thinking about what they thought about. It makes me feel girly in a good way.
Yeah, feminism did start out kind of beautiful and heroic but then became kind of annoying?
