An observation by a classmate on the first five chapters of Jane Eyre (in which ten-year-old Jane suffers abuse from her aunt and cousins and is sent to a boarding school): "Oh, it's just like Harry Potter!"

...a Jane Eyre-Harry Potter crossover is trying to gnaw its way into my brain now and I simply refuse to have anything to do with it.

You don't want to know how many times I tried to title my notes and my quiz "Jayne Eyre".

That hurts my brain, and yet, makes so much sense.

I know that you haven't gotten far enough into Jane Eyre yet, but let's just say that there's a reason that people are like, oh, Jane Eyre, gothic themes. Aka, vaguely supernatural happenings and tru wuv conquers all. (or, er, most of it, bear with me, it's been a while...)

Ehehe. It does, really. But. Wow. XD

I know more or less how it ends already, having read The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. XD

'cept there's a hell of a lot less pedophilia in Harry Potter.
