BBC Podcast

Pros:
I liked how they talked in depth about Charlotte Bronte to help the people listening to understand how people think that Jane Eyre might have been an autobiographical story. Also, they talk about how Bronte came to write Jane Eyre. Her 1st book was not published 9 times in a row and then she wrote Jane Eyre because she wanted to prove people wrong and she wanted to publish a book just like like her sister. I also enjoyed how they give brief overviews of parts of the book to help refresh readers (especially me) that have finished the book. Also, they talked about the different form of love that Jane and Mr. Rochester show to each other throughout the whole book. It's obviously different than most other novels and that's why it's known and well liked amoung the reading community.
Cons:
At times they stay on one topic a little too long and have a little too much information on topics. It is hard for me to concentrate for so long. Also, talk a lot about Jane and I wish they talked a little bit more about other characters in the book. Another character they talked about was her and Rochester, but there are other characters in the book that made the story what it is too. They could've touched on the other characters and why they are put in the book, or how they help Jane grow in the novel. Every character in the book shape Jane into who she was at the end of the book.  It is a great podcast but if people haven't read the book they give away any spoilers, even if someone is in the middle of the book, it would still give things away.

Interesting information:
I thought it was fascinating when they talked about how the story was important that it was told in the eyes and mind of Jane Eyre. I never realized that, but it is critical to how the readers experience the story when reading it. Having the story told in the first person, from Jane's perspective, helps show the readers about the Victorian era and how she grows over the course of the book. I feel that if the story was told by a narrator the passion, feelings, and love wouldn't be as strong as the way the book is told as it is. It also is told from an older perspective of Jane looking back on her life and telling the story as she has already lived the whole thing already. This is very apparent at the beginning of the book because the way her childhood is told and described is found to be one of an adult that has lived and learned from many things already.
