"In the name of all the elves in Christendom, is that Jane Eyre?" -Mr. Rochester
I must confess; I have been absorbed in the world of Jane Eyre for the past week.
It began after finishing the 1983 version of Jane Eyre with Timothy Dalton and Zelah Clarke.
I received this movie from my aunt last summer and sadly, I watched about half and it was forgotten.
And then one cold day in January I decided to pick it back up.
It has become the theme of my week.
I decided to order the book online last Monday from Walmart, and it arrived last Saturday.
The novel is one of my absolute favourites; and previously I did not own a copy.
I am now about three-fourths of the way finished; half the book being read over various cups of tea.
I then proceeded to buy four songs off the Jane Eyre The Musical Soundtrack.
To finish off this indulgence, I decided to purchase the 2006 version of Jane Eyre.
Thank you Lord for showing me the $20 hidden in an obscure corner of my room in order to buy this!
I am excited to see how it compares to the original novel and the 1983 adaptation.
Is not God wonderful? :)
Having few opportunities to pamper myself; when an opportunity does arise,
I relish in it.
So I may quote without reproach:
"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will!" -Jane Eyre
