I'll definitely be doing another post on Jane Austen vs. Charlotte Bronte. I've found some further quotes that illuminate Miss Bronte's view of what fiction should be. <br /><br />Johanna - as soon as I do see this newest Jane Eyre adaptation I will be doing a review. I also hope to compare the many other adaptations. <br /><br />Melody - Jane Eyre is definitely worth reading. It's very good just a bit more dark and depressing at times.Miss Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00973247921599001493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-156341070368542212011-02-10T14:19:38.523-05:002011-02-10T14:19:38.523-05:00I confess I have been prejudiced about Charlotte B...I confess I have been prejudiced about Charlotte Bronte ever since I found out she didn't like Jane Austen.

I was quite disappointed when a friend commented that the trailer made it seem like a horror film.

I still much more prefer Jane Austen's works because I think they're more relatable to me than Jane Eyre was.<br /><br />If you can figure out why Charlotte Bronte didn't like Jane Austen works, I would be interested in reading about it. It was something I've been wondering about. :-)Miss Elizabeth Bennethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02019249086339232260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-54675342064927058862011-02-09T16:08:18.289-05:002011-02-09T16:08:18.289-05:00I am reading the book right now, and love it. <...I am reading the book right now, and love it. <3 I wanna watch this particular version of the movie quite badly. ;) I enjoyed your little video!!!~Anna Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06311549919932763578noreply@blogger.com
