Reader, we read it.
This week we're taking on one of the most adapted, beloved, and read by AP English highs school students works ever. We're talking about Jane Eyre. You know her and you may love her. We decided to take on this sulky teen initially to use her as the pinnacle example of a new term we're going to call The Shy Girl. We thought Charlotte Brontë's most famous heroine would be the PERFECT example of The Shy Girl and because of Madelaine Turner's expertise on the adaptations of this classic we would be golden. However. As Madelaine and Rebecca began to re-examine the text they started to form a new theory *gasp* We also give a lot of thought on Bertha Mason because she represents so many women at that time and they deserve to be discussed. So listen along as this literary classic takes them (for better or worse) down memory lane.
