I would also prefer Wuthering Heights over Jane Eyre if choosing between the two were necessary BUT since it's not, I believe that together they encompass such a wide array of possible human emotion that to separate them would be to prefer only that which we immediately relate to; at least that's why I found W.H. more enticing...I identified immediately with Isabella in my present state.. however I wanted, and still strive to incorporate Jane Eyre's principles into my life. These works are so incredibly beautiful- I felt that I fell in love with Mr. Rochester right along with Jane. Happy reading!!<br><br>Isabella

I really enjoyed reading this book, not because of Jane's character, but because of Mr. Rochester. I love his blunt way of speaking and expressing himself. The garden proposal scene was especially hilarious. As were the lines, "Does my forehead not please you?" and "Am I hideous, Jane?" I still read these scenes apart from the rest of the novel.<br><br>Overall, I liked the book and would recommend it, but I was a bigger fan of Emily's Wuthering Heights.

I call it "Withering Hindsights." The Bronte sisters were strictly from hunger, as far as I'm concerned.

I've seen many other girls holding fancy for Mr. Rochester, though he isn't really dashing or handsome, but the character being portrayed shows something "strong" about him...but i don't feel anyone who's read the novel should fall in love with him...I mean the factr that he locked Bertha in the attic and then doesn't even tell Jane not even on the day of marriage , that he's already married...I mean do u think if he would have told Jane in advance..she wouldn't have understood??

Of course if he'd have already told her this wouldn't be the novel it is..right?

I did not like Mr Rochester that much - in his love for Jane he is extremly selfish, he wants to marry her, but does not care much about her feelings. She trusted him, but didnt get much in return. And the way he treated his wife...he might have treated Jane just the same in a few years...

I think that Mr Rochester was blinded by his fear of loosing Jane, if you were in his position in those days, you couldn’t divorce, you were stuck married to a mad woman that hated you and you were tricked into marrying and then you meet the perfect person for you. The love of your life effectively and you can see no way of ever being with her/him what would you do? I think his selfishness originated from despair and he was mentally trying to tackle it, whilst blindly leading Jane into pain witch he really didn’t mean to do!
