Jane Eye: Question 6

Why do we still read Jane Eyre? If I was to be compleeeetely honest, I would have to say because it's on the reading list for Sophomore Honors English classes around the world...but because I am not being compleeeetely (yes 4 E's) honest I will not say that. I will say that Jane Eyre has a timeless message that will always be relevant. That message being things are not always what they appear to be, or do not judge a book by its cover. Take your pick on which version. There is just some stupid strand in everyone's DNA that eats away our abilities to have open minds. This DNA strand is represented in Jane Eyre. Jane being the book that everyone passes over because it's the bland grey hard-back that no one could ever fathom being interesting. Everyone that judged her before getting to know her being that pesky DNA strand. Jane is a very relevant character because everybody, at some point in their life, feels like somebody has simply passed over them without a second glance in order to get to the more 'promising' looking person, when in reality that 'promising' looking person is not all that interesting and you are just bursting with entertaining and interesting little traits. So to pull this somewhat odd blog together, we can all learn to be a little less judgmental and a little more open-minded from Jane Eyre.
