Ok I have read way past this point in the book but I wanted to go back to it because it makes me mad. So were I left of in the book is the young boy is bullying Jane. He yells at her saying that she can't read his books because she is from a poor family so she is not good enough. Well that didn't go well with Jane and she mouthed off and as she was walking away the boy threw the book and it hits her in the head. She gets knocked to the floor and picks herself up. The book has cut her head and she is bleeding really bad but she doesn't care she goes after John ( the young boy) thats when Mrs. Reed comes in and John proceeds to say Jane hurt him. So Mrs. Reed has Jane thrown in the Red Room where Mr. Reed died. Jane is in there for awhile and then she thinks that she sees Mr. Reeds ghost so she starts screaming and she tells Mrs.Reed but she dosn't care so she throws Jane back in there and locks the door. Jane then has a mental break down and ends up very very sick. All I can say is this is so messed up and I found myself getting very angry while reading this book! Now the pick that I have chossen is from the play Jane Eyre and it shows the seen where Mr. Reeds ghost tourments Jane. I thought it was realll cool that they made this into a play!

Wow. That is so messed up! I would get mad reading that too! Why do the people who are truly innocent always end up being the ones who suffer? Ugh! I like the pic you chose. Would you actually consider watching the play?
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really interesting! I've always had a thing for ghost stories, but many of them arent that scary or orginal. This one sounds like it could be both of those! It does seem a little messed up though, but I guess that is how spirits get angry!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty skeptical about the whole ghost thing. I think she was probably hallucinating, which is totally understandable under the circumstances. That is just so messed up, the stuff that they do to her. The book sounds like it would be good, but it seems kind of depressing, too.
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten about this part! It was disturbing that an adult could do that to a child. I think Marina makes a fascinating point, here: the innocent do seem to suffer the most. Maybe that is because they have their innocence to lose?
