Sonja humors Vanessa for one last sail around in the odyssey ship as IWAW asks if an orphaned, mistreated, Victorian-Era heroine is really on an odyssey of her own. Jane Eyre sure does travel, meets “monsters” both female and male (Aunt Reed & St. John are nothing if not terrifying), but IWAW uncovers some VERY surprising parallels that become clear when examining this classic novel through the lens of a Homeric odyssey. Spoiler alerts, but if you’ve already read this engaging, inspiring, enduring young woman’s quest, we promise to point out some elements you have never considered. Set out on the heath in the driving rain with Sonja and Vanessa to see Jane’s journey with new eyes!
