In this episode Shruti and Neha discuss one of the most beloved classics of all time: Jane Eyre. We discuss Jane's character through the themes of adventure and self-respect, and share our opinions on her romance with Rochester. We get into many other themes and motifs that run through this story, including class, religion, colonialism, gender, and so much more! And we share our (controversial?) thoughts on the ending.
