Solemn, Strange and Perilous

More All the Single Ladies stuff. Tampa Bay Times talks with Rebecca Traister who gives her opinion on Jane Eyre:

"I always hated it when my heroines got married." (...)

In The Observer,for once, her Charlotte Brontë quote is fitting:

Meeting my husband and falling in love was an absolute shock.” She quotes Charlotte Brontë, married at 38: “It is a solemn, strange and perilous thing for a woman to become a wife.” (Edward Helmore)

"On our display board we have pictures of Adele, Queen Elizabeth, the Brontë sisters (and many more) all of which are from England," said Lyons. (Jeff Eydt in The Hour)

Dès lors, le roman devient un huit-clos dont le décor est le manoir où le frère et la soeur ont échoué, au milieu des forêts et des campagnes désertes. On songe à Emily Brontë à certains moments, d'autres fois à Maupassant. (Hervé Bel) (Translation)
