First thoughts

Hmmmm, so far I don’t see that anyone else has posted anything about Jane Eyre. I definitely had that “déjà vu” feeling we were talking about in class when reading this book. It reminds me of a certain fiction story I read in my grade school days. Something about witches and wizards and quidditch. Let’s assume if Harry Potter ever met Jane he’d put one of his crazy little love spells on her. Or maybe they have too much in common? The narration in the novels is much different but the two characters seem to be very similar to me. Both of them start out as outcasts. They live with their “family”, not immediate family of course, aunts and uncles. They both have a jerk-face male cousin they can NOT stand one bit. And of course the most obvious thing that they have in common is the fact that their parents are deceased. I also feel like Jane would have the hots for a certain other orphan named Oliver Twist. Just kidding. But Brocklehurst does remind me of a sort of Snape like character…. With a bigger nose and a much darker personality. Does anyone else get a “déjà vu” feeling when reading this novel? Oh and speaking of Harry Potter….
