Now I like "Jane Eyre", I really do...
Jan. 6th, 2008 11:14 pm...but the entire point is that "woman who is kind and meek and patient will be rewarded." Dear God, this girl is a freaking saint. She's unnatural. It's driving me nuts. @_@
Yet I'm still watching this made-for-tv version because it's pretty damn good and I adored the book when I read it. And it was written by the sister of the woman who wrote Wuthering Heights. And it is a wonderful story.
Jane is still driving me nuts, though. Oh how I prefer modern-day characterization.
EDIT: No, wait! She manages to have a crying fit and Rochester proposes in response!
And these people can't stage kiss. Like, at all. It's really entertaining.
EDIT 2: Okay, my initial complaint still stands, but hey, the guy gets screwed over in the end. Hoorah. @_@ Now I refuse to read into this because it's from the 1800's and I can excuse things, I really can. And the end made me grin, dammit!
Ah yes, and I am also back at Johns Hopkins, and I have class on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Monday, I've decided, will be writing day, and Tuesday will be writing and observing CBT training. Shame I can't do the fantasy writing workshop (mainly because of the CBT training), but since I'll do that anyway... *Shrugs*
Now to keep watching. And maybe watch some Doctor Who. And completely fail at getting to a normal sleeping schedule. XD
