BarkingMadRead @DGRachel thanks lol @ErinSueMreads I was thinking the same thing! 1y
DebinHawaii Yes! Most excellent ###! 🤣 St. John is such a fun guy! 🙄 1y
BarkingMadRead @DebinHawaii he‘s a real peach 🤣 1y
i.besteph I didn‘t finish reading this chapter yet! But reading the Christmas scene felt like I was in it. I‘m excited for Christmas! 🥳🥳 1y
TheAromaofBooks Until this chapter, St John hasn't really bothered me... like not my kind of guy, but I can respect his focus and commitment. But the way he just absolutely won't let anyone have a good time and then tries to manipulate Jane by bashing her on the head with “I know what God wants you to do better than you do“ - ICK. I also was frustrated with Jane more in this chapter than I have been in the entire book. Why does she keep doing whatever he says?! 1y
BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks yes!! She always stood up to Rochester, why is she being like this now?!! 1y
Clare-Dragonfly This chapter was my favorite the first time I read it and it‘s my favorite all over again now!!! I LOVE how well Jane knows herself and what she needs and wants, and how well she articulated it, even as St. John refuses to hear her. I love that she takes marriage much more seriously than he seems to, and defends her ability to be a missionary as a woman. And I love that St. John is a man who doesn‘t get what he wants even though he is a man and 1y
Clare-Dragonfly wants it (clearly he thinks that should be enough) and even invokes God!!! HE‘S SUCH AN ASS AND HE GETS THE NO HE DESERVES (edited) 1y
Bookwormjillk If you say no to me you are also saying no to God 🤢 1y
lauraisntwilder Why are all Jane's potential husbands so manipulative? Dressing up like fortune tellers, pretending to be engaged, testing her missionary skills in secret with various tasks, invoking God... Yikes. 1y
Erinsuereads Also her cousin @lauraisntwilder 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 1y
lauraisntwilder @ErinSueMreads Yes! That too! 😳 1y
LitStephanie @Bookwormjillk he is such a self righteous DB. 1y
LitStephanie @i.besteph me too even though it is only October! 1y
Bookwormjillk @lauraisntwilder Good question!! 1y
i.besteph @Bookwormjillk a sorry excuse for not getting what he wants 1y

Chapter 27:
Jane is in quite a blunder. Rochester gives a -detailed- explanation about his past. He even asks Jane to be his mistress!
Jane declines him even though it was extremely hard. Her strong moral values wouldn‘t allow her. (I love a female protagonist who‘s sure of herself) She jumps on a passing by carriage and gets the heck outta there. Bye Felicia (in this case, Rochestor) 😂💯

eeclayton I'm so proud of her. Mr R tried every kind of emotional blackmail possible on her, and still she stuck to her decision. A true heroine. 2y

Bookwormjillk @eeclayton he sure did! Blamed everyone but himself! 1y
AnnR This was a hard chapter to read. Mr R really outdid himself with the fast talking this time. Thank goodness Jane didn't give in. 1y
Clare-Dragonfly He‘s soooo disgusting. Complaining that he‘s not really married because people lied to entrap him into a marriage. If he‘d married Jane, not only would it not be a legal and religious marriage, but he would have done the same thing his family and the Masons did (according to him)! And then he‘s all boo hoo, how can you leave when I‘ll be miserable, and not a single word of how it would be good for Jane herself to stay. 🙄 1y
Clare-Dragonfly Also SPARE ME this whole quest for a woman he can love. 😒 He never stayed in one place long enough to get to know a woman and let him get to know her! Jane included! 1y
DebinHawaii OK, this made me laugh really hard today: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRmhooMW/ 1y
eeclayton @Clare-Dragonfly that's a great point about his doing the same thing. Now I despise him even more. 1y
i.besteph @eeclayton @Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly I agree! Jane‘s personality really shone through. Her self will is impeccable! Rochestor, on the other hand, is beginning to go down, way, waaaay down my favorite characters list. 1y
i.besteph @DebinHawaii facts!!! 😂👏🏽💯 1y
Clare-Dragonfly @i.besteph It is her personality! Rochester is like “oh here‘s the hitch” and I‘m like have you MET Jane?! This is exactly what she is like! 1y
i.besteph @Clare-Dragonfly well said! Rochestor‘s a big baby tbh. His tactic‘s to manipulate and so he throws a tantrum when it doesn‘t work on Jane. 😂 1y

AllDebooks This still gives me goosebumps even though I know what's coming. Hate the way Rochester is trying to manipulate Jane into continuing with service before the truth comes out 2y
BarkingMadRead @AllDebooks I know! I‘ve known it was coming all along and I still got worked up! 2y

Bookwormjillk Well,it really hit the fan today! 2y
BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I‘m betting he‘s wishing he hadn‘t waited so long 🤣 2y
i.besteph First time reading and I was NOT expecting this. people do bring baggage into a relationship but not THIS MUCH! #runjanerun 💯💯💯 2y
BarkingMadRead @i.besteph this is some serious baggage! 2y
eeclayton Also, he lied to her face several times and made her believe she'd been hallucinating. Disgusting 🤢 2y
BarkingMadRead @eeclayton he sure did! I can‘t wait to see how she reacts once she‘s processed everything 2y
Clare-Dragonfly Jane, “not betrayed” is not the way to feel! 🤦🏻‍♀️ 2y
lauraisntwilder That scene in the attic was brutal. Rochester clearly has no compassion for Bertha. And then he makes everyone stare at Jane while he compares them. I really don't like him. 2y
Erinsuereads I am really enjoying how many of you are having your childhood notions of Rochester crushed 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣☠️☠️☠️☠️ 2y
