Jane Eyre I have just finished reading JANE EYRE , the novel by Charlotte Bronte. I know ! ... ,what does a man in his sixties do , reading a novel which seems to be meant for younger people and depicts a very stifling Victorian society ?. It is not trendy at the present time , but it doesn´t matter at all. I really enjoyed it even though English was sometimes hard to understand ,language has evolved in such manner that many words or expressions would not be understood by native speakers. either. I think Jane Eyre was a pioneer , way far ahead her time. She struggled against the dominant strict rules at that time. The list of characters is long , but all of them are accurately portrayed, and you can also tell without being there the scent of English countryside and the gentle rain trickling down the windows. I recommend this book to all those who want to try something different.. Talking about words this one really struck me very much I had never heard before '' DESTITUTE''. which by the way is a false friend to the Spanish ''DESTITUIDO'' Thank you for reading this note

Jane Eyre

I have just finished reading JANE EYRE, the novel by Charlotte Bronte. I know! ... what does is a man in his sixties do doing, reading a novel which seems to be meant for younger people and depicts a very stifling Victorian society?  (more natural:  reading a novel meant for younger people and depicting a very repressive Victorian society?)  It is not trendy today at the present time, but that it doesn´t matter at all.  I really enjoyed it even though English the prose was sometimes hard to understand; language has evolved in such manner that many words or expressions would not be understood by native speakers., either.
I think Jane Eyre was a pioneer, way far ahead her time. She struggled against the dominant dominating, strict rules at that time.
The list of characters is long , but all of them are accurately portrayed.  , and yYou can also tell (more natural:  You can almost smell the English....) without being there the scent of English countryside and the gentle rain trickling down the windows.
I recommend this book to all those who want to try something different..
Talking about words, this one in particular really struck me, that very much I had never heard before "DESTITUTE", which by the way is a false friend to the Spanish ''DESTITUIDO.''

Thank you for reading this note.
