#if I hear 'I am no bird; no net insares me' one more time I might explode

So, unfortunately, because I've had to over-study Jane Eyre and analyse every quote word by word to death, I'm not a massive fan of the book. If I had read it outside of education, especially since I adore a good 1800s Gothic book, I'm sure I would have loved it, but my liking for it died the moment I had more than 20 quotes that looked like they didn't even mean anything shoved in my head by my English teacher.
But when Jane said; "To be privileged, to put my arms around what I value- to press my lips to what I love- to repose on what I trust: is that to make sacrifice? If so, then I'd gladly delight in it." Like. That one's got a good kick to it. Jane didn't need to be spitting moral fire like that in late 1800s
