Jane Eyre. Used, bought recently in a bookshop in Camden Passage, shabby nineteenth-century binding, pages bearing vague stains, fingered, smoothed. She opened the book to the place she left it when the taxicab pulled up. “My daughter, flee temptation.” “Mother, I will,” Jane responded, as the moon turned to woman. The fiction had tricked her. Drawn her in so that she became Jane. Yes. The parallels were there. Was she not heroic Jane? Betrayed. Left to wander. Solitary. Motherless. Yes, and with no relations to speak of except an uncle across the water. She occupied her mind. Comforted for a time, she came to. Then, with a sharpness, reprimanded herself. No, she told herself. No, she could not be Jane. Small and pale. English. No, she paused. No, my girl, try Bertha. Wild-maned Bertha. Clare thought of her father. Forever after her to train her hair. His visions of orderly pageboy. Coming home from work with something called Tame. She refused it; he called her Medusa. Do you intend to turn men to stone, daughter? She held to her curls, which turned kinks in the damp of London. Beloved racial characteristic. Her only sign, except for dark spaces here and there where melanin touched her. Yes, Bertha was closer to the mark. Captive. Ragôut. Mixture. Confused. Jamaican. Caliban. Carib. Cannibal. Cimarron. All Bertha.

Jane came alive in that moment, animatedly describing the romance of Miss Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. Jane was positively rapturous over the surly Mr. Darcy in particular, explaining that he was woefully misunderstood. “You see, pride in his position within society was in many ways to be expected, but he shows admirable strength of character in setting aside those presumptions and following the dictates of his heart—devotion to his Elizabeth.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Elisa Braden" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/elisa-braden/what-is-your-favorite-book-one-of-jane-s-dark-eyebrows-lifted-rather/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d63/elisa-braden-32195_austen_what-is-your-favorite-book-one-of-jane-s_2708735.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d63/elisa-braden-32195_austen_what-is-your-favorite-book-one-of-jane-s_2708735.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d63/elisa-braden-32195_austen_what-is-your-favorite-book-one-of-jane-s_2708735.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“What is your favorite book?” One of Jane’s dark eyebrows lifted. “Rather like choosing a favorite shade of…” — Elisa Braden", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/book-jane/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/book-jane/", "name": "Book Jane Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/book-jane/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ac5/karen-swallow-prior-26891_faith_bront-was-attempting-to-depict-a-charact_26331.jpg" }, "description": "Browse 5 Book Jane quotes by 5 authors.
