 I've actually never read Jane Eyre... and know nothing about it. Lol. So, it's not obvious... at least for me. 😅😏 
 So... Jane Eyre is just some sassy cerebral troublemaker who's constantly embarrassing the men around her through the use of her encyclopedic intellect? 
 Sounds like someone we know 🤔 🤣

 I've never read any of this. I probably should since it's such a part of the anglosphere.  
 This took off more than I expected. 👀😎 
 Good. :)  
 This is what I get for sleeping in. 
 Sounds similar to my English classes. 

Gosh, couldn't stand reading Angelou.  
 I remember this! Must show it to my wife in the morning, she'll love it 
 She gives me the ick. I'm not 100% sure why. I forget what book it books off hers we read. I couldn't wait to be done with them. There are so many black authors that are so much better at her, in any genre. It annoys me that she's the halcyon of (older) black literature. That genre is just Marxist narcissism these days and not worth bothering with.  
 Yeah, she's very, very far off from the being that I know as Stella. 

But she's just an slightly eloquent whore, and an example of what NOT to be more than a shining example of what one ought to be. Yech.  
 I'm gigging at your phrasing.
