I‘m traveling today for my daughter‘s baby shower, and I don‘t want to forget to post again!! Not posting daily is really throwing me off!

Part 3: whoa #backtoAasnarrator #sheisinthornfield #gracepoole #Adreamsthereisafire 🔥#hashtagbrigade

Librarybelle The dream was interesting. It was a nice tie-in to Jane Eyre and how the fire started. I did like that connection. 6mo

Bookwormjillk Is that a picture of aka Bertha or me reading this book? Congrats to your daughter! 6mo
IndoorDame I really like that it ends at Thornfield bc I think tying it back to JE so concretely, and starting the fire with a dream were great choices. But I thought the writing in this section was the weakest, and I‘m itching to reread JE now, and I‘m guessing if I do that feeling will only get stronger. 6mo
IndoorDame Also terrifying photo! England is clearly bad for the complexion 😂😂😂 6mo
BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk @indoordame 🤣🤣 I was trying to find Bertha in the red dress, but the pics were too blurry 🙄 6mo
Aimeesue This section was so well done. The depiction of disordered thinking in someone with mental health issues was brilliant. 6mo
5feet.of.fury I liked the ending, but it seemed like a big jump from part 2 to tie everything up 6mo
Clare-Dragonfly I do have a theory about why Richard was so eager to marry her off after part 3: he was afraid she would marry Sandi, since they were apparently into each other. And he was Black, so obviously that wouldn‘t do. I still don‘t understand why she agreed to marry Rochester though 🤷🏻‍♀️ 6mo
dabbe @Librarybelle The color red, too. Reminded me of the red room in JE. 6mo
dabbe @IndoorDame 😂😂😂 6mo
dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly EXCELLENT thought that makes total sense in a book where stream of consciousness is everywhere! 👏 👏 👏 6mo
willaful I feel like the book was almost in code. I was missing something I needed to really get it, background or knowledge or a different frame of mind. It was truly heartbreaking nonetheless. 6mo
mcctrish @willaful same! I feel like I almost get it but not quite maybe I need to reread Jane Eyre 6mo
julieclair @Aimeesue I agree about the depiction of disordered thinking. Her decisions seemed so “logical” if you assume her thoughts were “rational”. And to her, they were. 6mo
julieclair I do wonder what would have happened if Rochester had really loved her and treated her as a cherished wife. Would she still have gone mad? 6mo
julieclair @BarkingMadRead How wonderful about the baby shower! 6mo
rubyslippersreads @dabbe @Librarybelle I thought of that too. 6mo
currentlyreadinginCO I don't think that I was in the right frame of mind for this, I ended up just confused and tired after this one! 6mo
