what about this year?
I am so sorry but it’s actually not happening this year! I should have issued a relative announcement ages ago, but I’ve been incredibly busy and stressed with uni. I’m terribly sorry but thank you so much for your inquiry, truly. Next year! Have a merry, merry christmas and a wonderful new year!
Jane Eyre Month — Favorite Scene (1/3)
And I clasped my arms closer round Helen; she seemed dearer to me than ever; I felt as if I could not let her go; I lay with my face hidden on her neck. Presently she said, in the sweetest tone —
“How comfortable I am! That last fit of coughing has tired me a little; I feel as if I could sleep: but don’t leave me, Jane; I like to have you near me.”
“I’ll stay with you, dear Helen: no one shall take me away.”
“Are you warm, darling?”
“Yes.”
“Good-night, Jane.”
“Good-night, Helen.”
She kissed me, and I her, and we both soon slumbered.
Jane Eyre Month - Favorite Quote (4/4)
“Do you never laugh, Miss Eyre? Don’t trouble yourself to answer — I see you laugh rarely; but you can laugh very merrily: believe me, you are not naturally austere, any more than I am naturally vicious. The Lowood constraint still clings to you somewhat; controlling your features, muffling your voice, and restricting your limbs; and you fear in the presence of a man and a brother — or father, or master, or what you will — to smile too gaily, speak too freely, or move too quickly: but, in time, I think you will learn to be natural with me, as I find it impossible to be conventional with you; and then your looks and movements will have more vivacity and variety than they dare offer now. I see at intervals the glance of a curious sort of bird through the close-set bars of a cage: a vivid, restless, resolute captive is there; were it but free, it would soar cloud-high.“
Jane Eyre Month - Favorite Quote (¾)
—In the midst of my pain of heart and frantic effort of principle, I abhorred myself. I had no solace from self-approbation: none even from self-respect. I had injured — wounded — left my master. I was hateful in my own eyes. […] Gentle reader, may you never feel what I then felt! May your eyes never shed such stormy, scalding, heart-wrung tears as poured from mine. May you never appeal to Heaven in prayers so hopeless and so agonized as in that hour left my lips; for never may you, like me, dread to be the instrument of evil to what you wholly love.
Jane Eyre Month - Favorite Quote (2/4)
“I knew,” he continued, “you would do me good in some way, at some time; —I saw it in your eyes when I first beheld you: their expression and smile did not"—(again he stopped)—"did not” (he proceeded hastily) “strike delight to my very inmost heart so for nothing. People talk of natural sympathies; I have heard of good genii: there are grains of truth in the wildest fable. My cherished preserver, goodnight!"
Jane Eyre Month - Favorite Quote (¼)
“Every good, true, vigorous feeling I have gathers impulsively round him. I know I must conceal my sentiments: I must smother hope; I must remember that he cannot care much for me […] I must, then, repeat continually that we are for ever sundered: — and yet, while I breathe and think, I must love him.“
Jane Eyre Month - Week Four: Four favorite quotes
Jane Eyre Month: week 4: favorite Quotes
Reader, nope didn’t marry anybody single as foreverAlone; here are my four favorite Jane Eyre quotes.
“Jane, be still; don’t struggle so like a wild, frantic bird, that is rending its own plumage in its desperation.“ "I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being, with an independent will; which I now exert to leave you.” ― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
** I love this quote, I remember reading this for the first time and thinking “woah she’s amazing” but then when I got to the “which I now exert to leave you” part; I grew ever more fond of Jane; She got no time for side-chick business.
“Do you think I am an automaton? — a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! — I have as much soul as you — and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet, equal — as we are!” ― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
** this is where I learned that love should be between two people who respect each other; who are each others equal; none above the other; give as much as you get; Jane was adamant about beng independent and that is something that I inspire to do today. ….also why I’m gonna be a single forever; I’m a selfish ass.
“If all the world hated you and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved of you and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends.” ― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
** you can’t judge me son
“I am not an angel,’ I asserted; ‘and I will not be one till I die: I will be myself. Mr. Rochester, you must neither expect nor exact anything celestial of me - for you will not get it, any more than I shall get it of you: which I do not at all anticipate.” ― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
** Jane Eyre teaching girls to be their damn selfs , imperfections and all;
Jane Eyre Month - Favorite Relationship: Jane & Rochester
“I know what it is to live entirely for and with what I love best on earth. I hold myself supremely blest — blest beyond what language can express; because I am my husband’s life as fully as he is mine. No woman was ever nearer to her mate than I am: ever more absolutely bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh.”
JANE EYRE MONTH | WEEK 3 | FAVOURITE RELATIONSHIP
“I could join with Diana and Mary in all their occupations; converse with them as much as they wished, and aid them when and where they would allow me. There was a reviving pleasure in this intercourse, of a kind now tasted by me for the first time - the pleasure arising from perfect congeniality of tastes, sentiments and principles… Thought fitted thought; opinion met opinion: we coincided, in short, perfectly.”
Diana and Mary Rivers were a blessing for Jane. St. John Rivers might have saved Jane’s life, but I think his sisters strengthened her happiness. They offered friendship and asked for nothing back. Jane wasn’t forced to sacrifice a part of herself, or made to feel guilty for wanting and feelings the things she did - in short, they accepted her for who she was. Jane, who’s always had to fight her own battles in her lonely little corner, finally has friends who will support her, side with her, but most importantly, smile with her.
Jane Eyre Month { week 3 } - Favorite relationship.
Jane Eyre and Helen Burns
Jane makes her first real friend at the Lowood Institute; She meets Helen Burns and she learns a lot from her. I liked Helen because she was in her own way confident and free; she was herself. Even when it got her in trouble with the teacher.
I felt like she gave Jane great advice and strength; the kind of strength and bravery you get when you have friends. The idea that there’s a person that would silently support you. The person you could look to across a table and make a face and they’d understand or they’d smile at you and suddenly you feel not so alone.
You feel like Jane did when she stood mortified on that stool in front of everybody, but suddenly the sympathetic faces and a smile from a friend turned her mortification into strength and she stood there with her head help up high;
Helen was the character that taught me to be brave; in the sense that I started to think my friends were like the “Helen Burns” in my life; they believe in me and if they think I can do something then I can do it. I learned to accept and find strength in the support of my family and friends.
Another important lesson, that Burns has thought me and plays an important part in my life still.
“If all the world hated you and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved of you and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends.” ― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
Jane and Helen’s friendship is one of the best parts of the book. It is this friendship I think that has a lasting affect on Jane; because it definitely had one on a angsty- awkward teenage girl years ago. It thought me to make friends, not be judgmental and trust my own mind.
Jane Eyre Month - Week Three: favourite relationship or least favorite character: Jane Eyre and Adele Varens
“I felt a conscientious solicitude for Adele’s welfare and progress, and a quiet liking for her little self.”
Jane Eyre Month - Favorite Male Character: Edward Fairfax Rochester
“Nature meant me to be, on the whole, a good man, Miss Eyre: one of the better kind, and you see I am not so. […] Then take my word for it, — I am not a villain: you are not to suppose that — not to attribute to me any such bad eminence; but owing, I verily believe, rather to circumstances than to my natural bent, I am a trite common-place sinner, hackneyed in all the poor petty dissipations with which the rich and worthless try to put on life.”
Jane Eyre Month - Week Two (December 21st-27th): favorite male character OR most overrated character: Pilot
“a great dog, whose black and white colour made him a distinct object against the trees… a lion-like creature with long hair and a huge head.”
Jane Eyre month I week two I favorite male character:
It’s pretty difficult to pick a favorite male character because I don’t think i really have a favorite male one.
I know Rochester comes to mind first, because he’s the main dude. Jane’s main dude, because we all know St.John was a side dude (also what kind of name is ‘st.John” -_-)

I think the thing I like about Rochester is that he in his own way respected Jane and let her be this wild thing; he loved her for who she was and he was patient with her and never pressured her to do anything; and I totally dig the whole dressing up as a gypsy thing to get your crush to confess, but I will never forgive the whole “I have a crazy wife in the attic bit, let’s commit bigamy”.
Rochester might be the male character that comes to mind because he’s the tall,dark brooding hero, but if I had to think about it, then I’d say my favorite male figure (who’s also the underrated one) would be Mr. Lloyd.
He’s the apothecary who comes and takes care of Jane when she becomes sick. He takes the time to ask her how she feels and what she wants. He later suggests to Jane’s aunt to send her to school. Lloyd’s kindness and care, a small gesture that made a significant change in her life.
JANE EYRE MONTH [Week two]: favourite male character → EDWARD FAIRFAX ROCHESTER
