As a result, I am definitely going to finish it, and I am about 85% done. After this re-read I am going to hold off on reading the Brontës for a bit. I thought I was going to read Jane Eyre before the year ends, but I'll wait on that thought.
Here a few quotes from the novel to give you a bit of the gist of the vibe of the novel.
“I am anchored on a resolve you cannot shake. My heart, my conscience shall dispose of my hand -- they only. Know this at last.”
“Strange that grief should now almost choke me, because another human being's eye has failed to greet mine.”
“You had no right to be born; for you make no use of life. Instead of living for, in, and with yourself, as a reasonable being ought, you seek only to fasten your feebleness on some other person's strength.”
“I'll borrow of imagination what reality will not give me.”
“A lover masculine so disappointed can speak and urge explanation, a lover feminine can say nothing; if she did, the result would be shame and anguish, inward remorse for self-treachery. Nature would brand such demonstration as a rebellion against her instincts, and would vindictively repay it afterwards by the thunderbolt of self-contempt smiting suddenly in secret.”
“Once I only saw her beauty, now I feel it.”
I will continue on with Shirley and the other several novels that I am sandwiching between my carer responsibilities and my immense school work.
