[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone read Wide Sargasso Sea? The main character is Mad Mrs. Rochester, when she was a young bride in the West Indies. I re-read Jane Eyre after that, and was much more sympathetic to her. [/quote] [b]Yes. It offers a chilling perspective on Mr. Rochester, doesn't it[/b]? +1 for Darcy. I don't think I agree, but I've heard him described as a the only "manic pixie dream guy" ever written. [/quote] This is an old thread, but I got the recommendation for Wide Sargasso Sea from DCUM and finally read it and found this thread. MY GOODNESS. Mr Rochester is so terrible in this, I don't want to re-read Jane Eyre and have her fall in love with him. Of course this is a perspective of a different author, but it was very compelling and could Mr. Rochester be more of a slut shamer? And care more about what other people think? I do love these brooding men though. Would never marry one but these drama queens are fun to read about.[/quote]
