Metacognition: Reading Jane Eyre

I actually liked Jane Eyre a lot, and it's probably about 23% because it was such an intellectual break from the last few books we've read. Not saying that it wasn't intellectual, just that the way I read it is a lot less taxing on my brain. The language was easily comprehensible for me, whereas Shakespeare is harder for me to understand, therefore I have to read it slower (and I'm impatient). I liked the story a lot, and even though the ending had flames shooting out of my ears at first, I'm starting to try to understand the reasons for it and how it makes the story end well. Altogether, I thought that this book was a good one to read at the time we read it, and I liked it a lot. I think that it suited my brain well, and Jane reminds me some of myself which always makes me like a character more. I was worried coming into it because we were emphasizing the feminist nature of the book, but it's not a modern feminist book, which I had forgotten while gritting my teeth at the mere mention of feminists (NOT the ones that fought for my rights, the ones today that have reversed sexism).
