This comment is hysterical. I almost peed my pants. I'm curious to know how many slow-witted people have thought you were serious and written you nasty replies?
I really think that your opinion on the book is extremely sexist. It's men like you that women try to stay away from. You think that you are superior to us women, but in reality you're no better than us. I myself don't exactly like the book, but there is more to a person than their looks, you said she should be beautiful, well she had a very good personality, and her beauty was on the inside. There shouldn't have been a man to take it from her. SHe had an extremely hard life, and she deserved to inherit all of that money.
I only hope you are joking, which I assume you are!lol<br>Men do make me laugh when they act like their sterotype - ignorant and stupid.<br><br>Well you know what they say . . . women who seek to be equal to men, seriously lack ambition!hehe
I don't like this book because I am male. Only females like this book. I don't think that women like Jane Eyre should have as much power and independence as she does. When she inherited all that money, there should have been a man to take it from her. She shouldn't be schooled either. The book would have been better if she was a stupid but beautiful housewife who cooked for her husband. Also her husband could know karate and save the world with his superpowers.
I was going to write an angry reply however i read what sarah said (completly tru btw) and i dont think that the reply below hers deserves a response.

I completely agree with Sarah. and it is her wisdom and character that make the novel so beautiful. It's the complicated things and smart women that make life so beautiful...
Hmmm, I never noticed this thread, but I can honestly say that, even as a male, I greatly enjoyed Jane Eyre, and every book by the Brontë. I pity the minds who cannot see the immense intellect buried in the novel's metaphors and analogies, yet, once some readers see a woman wrote this book, an inevitable bias proceeds (which I think seemed George Eliot's goal to avoid, also known as Mary Ann Evans).
Yes, I think it's ashame that you can't be a little more open-minded and realise that a progressive discussion does not mean that the author detests the whole male sex.I think maby that was previously a misconception as those early feminist writers weren't necessarily man-haters or implying that women should be superior to man.Instead they were addressing some serious issues that they thought were of great importance at the time as females were left in a state of subordination and mainly controlled by their husbands;even in the eyes of the law they were unable to vote, to have their own property when married, and men could still legally abuse their wifes under the disguise of "correction".Nowdays this would be shocking in western countries but sadly there still exists many women suffering in poor conditions in third world countries which never saw a feminist revolution or equal opportunities.And it's unfortunate that there are still many who believe that a females place is in the house; to be kept quite and censored as nothing more than a pretty object to please her husband.I'm sorry but I think your view is extremely unenlightened and belongs in the dark ages...

My own brain is to me the most unaccountable of machinery --always buzzing, humming, soaring, roaring, diving, and then buried in mud. And why? What's this passion for?

Lol. Perhaps you should have lived in the 1800s? Sounds like it would have been your kind of era, when women were supposed to be meek and obedient, and weren't allowed to hold property in their own rights etc.Originally Posted by Unregistered
I think this is actually more amusing if you're being serious...
This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with force.
lol i like Miss Eyre! you seem to have some very good points of veiw on this book and you have a very witty toung (reminds me of someone) lol! Keep commenting! its all good!
I think that males should be locked up in cages and only kept as a means of reproduction and entertainment. We would have a lot less problems that way. At least a lot less pointless wars. I didn’t like that Jane went back to Mr. Rochester. It gave up the feminist message in the book.
That sounds great! Where do I sign up? I doubt I'd be able to manage any more than fifty females a day, though.
Fewer, not less.
THAT IS THE FUNNIEST THING I HAVE EVER READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but if it wasn't a joke, you're a sexist pig. JERK
i think you were joking though, so once again HILARIOUS
There are more people in the world today than in any other time in history, period... both literate and illiterate
