I, too, have found the reading rather difficult because I know what's going to happen. I couldn't even enjoy her falling in love because I knew it was hopeless. What I've noticed is that I know the story so well that I'm noticing some foreshadowing and preaching that I didn't remember from my previous readings (and that has been more than once). It's not as enjoyable a re-read as say Pride and Prejudice (which has had more reads during my life than this one); I wonder if that says something about the craft of Ms. Bronte. I do remember in lit. classes having teachers say that Jane Eyre was not the equal of Wuthering Heights and me feeling angry about the comment, but....maybe it's true. That said, I'm trying not to skip ahead and read the end (as I always do) because thinking about it makes the tragedy less. See you on Friday in this spot where we can chat....Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05978161547833802907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373039528924145838.post-30045344549307090832011-12-11T19:49:35.374-08:002011-12-11T19:49:35.374-08:00Hey lovely lady!
