![]() ![]() ![]() This was beautifully written on, his POV after she saves him. You wrote how he feels for Jane and what he's willing to do for her to keep her and her love very nicely despite the trouble he would be in. :) And that's what makes it sad, too, due to the foreshadowing of her leaving. D': Thank you sharing with us. :) |
![]() ![]() Thank you so much for your writing, it is really interesting |
![]() ![]() ![]() Oh, that was chilling. I'm in awe at how well you captured Rochester's voice and character in something so simple. Great use of greek/roman mythology. It's just the kind of thing I can imagine him using. Brilliant job! |
![]() ![]() ![]() That was wonderful! So beautifully written, so perfectly in character. "Indeed, I have led her into Hell, and am at this very moment contemplating the serving of the pomegranate!" - I loved this sentence. |
![]() ![]() ![]() O.O This is amazing. You write so beautifully in Rochester's voice! Thank you for writing this! Denni |
![]() ![]() ![]() Such lovely language, almost like poetry. I think you've captured Rochester's character really well. I also loved this line: "...I will take her by the hand again and burn this empty bed with a different flame." It's amazing how you could make him say something deeply provocative without sounding the least bit vulgar, just as they would at the time. |
![]() ![]() ![]() You have put so much into such a short vignette! I love the parallels he draws between himself and Jane, and the ancient lovers. I have only watched the Toby Stephens version of Jane Eyre, so I am probably missing much that someone who has read the book would pick up on, but through your words I feel very in-touch with Mr. Rochester. It is not easy to get so much across with few words, but you have succeeded mightily. |
![]() ![]() ![]() This is fabulous! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Holy shit. You say this is your first fanfic? This is amazing! How you have the allusions. Where he says he is Hades, and she Persephone. And how he contemplates giving her the pomegrante. That was brilliant. This is beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. You captured Mr. Rochester wonderfully. I praise you highly. |
![]() ![]() ![]() It was nice to read something from Mr. R's perspective. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Lovely.:) I really liked the usage of Greek love-story comparisons - it seems exactly the sort of thing suited to their story. And the voice at the end - truly in the same style as the book. Great work! |
![]() ![]() ![]() -.- You make my Jane Eyre story look like rubbish. I envy you for this style of riding! It's suitably detatched, calculating, while at the same human. This is most assuredly going to be a welcome addition to my list of favorites! |
![]() ![]() ![]() I ADORE the analogy you made between Hades/Persephone and Edward/Jane! Nice touch. I also love how he acknowledged that he did want to "bed with her", but that's not why he was depressed about everything. I NEED A MAN LIKE THAT! Anyways, beautiful and very insightful :D |
![]() ![]() ![]() Stunning. I love the way you compare Rochester's feelings to myths and legends - very in keeping with the "fairy" theme, which you employed excellently here. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Very good POV story. Thanks for sharing! |
