Day 8: Classic
I saw the 2011 movie before I read the book and I thought it was the most boring and pointless movie I had ever seen. It frustrated me that I didn't like and I couldn't see the point in it. But there was something about it that held my attention. I knew that because it frustrated me so much. Something about that movie was lodged in my brain and wouldn't leave. I finally decided to read the book and try to force myself to like it. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I didn't have to force myself. I understood so much more of the themes, the symbolism, and just the overall emotion of Jane's story when I read it. Now it is one of my favorite classics and I'm actually currently re-reading it right now!
"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will." -Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
