Everything has to be competitive with you doesn't it?
You can't do someting just for the satisfaction of taking part!!
So i should have paid more attention to " Womans Hour"!!
Anyway what book is this person talking about??
" The book describes so well the struggle of the working class, a struggle against luck, society, tradition and emotional dependence. The characters, are not evil, they are not even mean, they are so real.
It's one of those books that will make you cry and beg for a Hollywood happy ending. Gervaise (the main characters) starts tumbling down even before the middle of book and once she starts it does not end. The suffering, humiliation and desenchantment of the proud woman does not stop. Yes there were happy moments throughout the book, but the journey went down. At every moment she could have pulled herself away from all this, but she didn't, or maybe she couldn't in some way. "
Maybe it's me reflecting my own perception of life, but I see it very real, very macabre.

Jane Eyre is a wonderful book. I remember reading it when I was a youngster. Gosh, its been so long. I think I need to pick it up from the library and give it another read!
