“I don’t remember ever being sicker than that in my entire life. I do believe you witnessed the most awful day I’ve ever lived through. And I’ve lived through some awful days. But when you’re in it, there seems to be nothing worse in the moment than a horrible stomach bug.”
Does 
Jane Eyre have a happy or a sad ending?
The common experience of this much loved novel is to weep while reading the final chapter. Are we crying with happiness, because Jane and Rochester are together at last? Or with pity-for them or for ourselves-because he is blind and maimed? Of course, it's not impossible that we are crying strictly on our own behalf, because the tale has to end, and we'll have to part from Jane.
Jane Eyre is one of the best known, most closely read and written about works in the Western canon. Some say it is a romance; others call it a mythic quest or the first romantic novel with female narrator.
Speaking of Jane I'd like to give some explanation of our narrator's character Jane.
Well.. Jane is nothing if not a rebel. She won't lie even if lies would smooth her progress. From the moment we meet her, she is struggling against the injustice of her lot, and she refuses to be convinced that humility is her only option. In many ways she is the first modern heroine in fiction.
Jane seems to be possessed of the greatest treasure a woman can have: self-respect.
I am sure everyone who reads the novel would be amazed by Jane's character as I was too. Before coming to the end of this description I will also mention the themes this novels deals with;
'morality' (Jane refuses to marry Rochester when she learns that he is already married)
'gender relations' ( she struggles against the Victorian patriarchal society)
'social mobility' and 'religion'
Jane Eyre is one of the first feminist heroines in the British fiction and the novel might be considered as a manifesto of feminism.
I hope this description will be helpful to all of you especially to those studying English l & l.
For a moment she felt utterly dislocated. She did not know where she was; she was not entirely sure who she was. It is astonishing just how much of what we are can be tied to the beds we wake up in in the morning, and it is astonishing how fragile that can be.
“I am not a good man.”
“I know,” she breathes.
“I have tortured.” I dip my lips down, brushing them against her neck. “I have killed.” Lifting her shirt with my free hand, my fingers skim up her side, my mouth tasting her collarbone, then trailing over the swells of her breasts. “And I’ll do both again, without ever regretting a thing. I enjoy them.”
Her legs tighten around my hips.
My hand releases her wrists, moving to cup her face, her skin soft beneath the pads of my fingers. My chest twists as my heart bangs against my ribs. “But I regret, with every fiber of my being, that for even one moment you suffered under my hands.”
Her eyes widen, the beautiful shades of brown glossing over.
“You are, without a doubt, the only good I’ve ever known.” I rest my forehead on hers, my shaky breaths ghosting across her lips, my thumb rubbing against her cheek. “So… don’t lie to me, Wendy, darling. Because my heart won’t survive it if you do.”
It’s in this moment that I know, as crazy as it seems, that I love her.
And that terrifies me more than anything else ever has.
"(...) Man's immortality is not to live forever; for that wish is born of fear. Each moment free from fear makes a man immortal."

Bir görevin son kısmını bitirmek neden zordur?
Sapolsky calls this phenomenon "The Dopamine Jackpot", and it's typically an aha! moment for my clients. He found that the rush of dopamine, the neurochemical that allows us to feel reward, is released a short time before the reward is actually achieved. This is why the last 5 to 10 percent of a project's completion is the hardest- because the reward has already happened inside your brain!
