    "Anybody may blame me who likes, when I add further that [...] then I longed for a power of vision which might overpass that limit; which might reach the busy world, towns, regions full of life I had heard of but never seen; that then I desired more of practical experience than I possessed; more of intercourse with my kind, of aquaintance with variety of character, than was here within my reach. [...] Who blames me? Many, no doubt; and I shall be called discontented. I could not help it; the restlessness was in my nature; it agitated me to pain sometimes. Then my sole relief was to [...] allow my mind's eye to dwell on whatever bright visions rose before it - and, certainly, they were many and glowing; to let my hearth be heaved by the exultant movement, which, while it swelled in trouble, expanded it with life; and, best of all, to open my inward ear to a tale that was never ended - a tale that my imagination created, and narrated continuously; quickened with all of incident, life, fire, feeling, that I desired and had not in my actual existence."
    Jane Eyre è un personaggio imponente, forte e complesso, che in molte parti del libro ho amato visceralmente. Ho solo due appunti a questa grande opera. Primo: nonostante la storia sia e debba essere indiscutibilmente la storia di Jane e della costruzione della sua identità, avrei gradito un maggiore approfondimento di alcune figure secondarie (ma fortunatamente, almeno per Bertha "Antoinette" Mason, Jean Rhys ha sopperito magistralmente alle "mancanze" della Bronte). Secondo: non mi spiegherò mai, esattamente, che cosa ci trovi una donna come Jane in Rochester (=P).
