Jane eyre #5

I am personally not enjoying this book so far. I know it is a classic, and I do really like some classic novels such as Animal Farm, The Catcher in the Rye, The Great Gatsby, and I want to read more classics such as Catch 22 and As I lay dying. I like to read book's that I can personally relate to when I am reading them or that are in the same time period as me. I can not relate to this book at all, so I think if I took place in the 21st century I might be a little bit more intrigued but this book is not. I am not a fan of this "Gothic" literature. I think it is good to be exposed to all kinds of culture and not just stick to what you know because you might find something you know could like even more. Not just with books but with anything; clothes, locations, music, foods, people, hair colors etc. it never hurts to try something out, so I guess reading this book is another way of doing that. I have learned that this is not the kind of genre I would like to read about. 

In Chapter 14 Jane becomes pretty much talking journal to Rochester. He always spills his guts to her, even when he is extremely moody. Rochester decides what's in the past will stay their, similar to me in a way that I live without regrets, or dwell on the past. He has become less moody after his big confession. He tells her about everything from his past and who Adele's mother is. I think Jane has stronger feelings now for Adele because she now can relate to Adele on being left.
