This book is still read today for many reasons. One of these reasons is because it is a great representation of what life was like in the 1900’s. It is about a woman who overcomes the inequality and hardships of the time. This book teaches us that though times are hard, if you make wise choices and are true to yourself, you can overcome almost anything. The main character, Jane, Is one of the reasons we still read this book. Jane is an inspiring character who is independent and does not let the time she is born into dictate who she is or who she can become. She speaks her mind and does not care who notices. In the book, after speaking to St. John, she says, “Again the surprised expression crossed his face. He had not imagined that a woman would dare to speak so to a man. For me, I felt at home in this sort of discourse.” (Bronte, 435) She beats to a different drum than everyone else. Another reason we still read this book is because of the romance in it. The bond between Jane and Rochester is inspirational, and their everlasting love is like no other. She chooses what’s best for her and others and makes wise decisions. Jane inspires us. That is why we still read this book.
