Everyone upset about Charlotte Bronte being racist but nobody wants to talk about that chapter where Jane goes to her abusers home and apologizes for yelling at her that 1 time. After 9 (8??) years of abuse. Like... can I see this critical discourse please. Because it's not the "racism!!1!" in this book that bothers me, (also no, it's not Mr. Rochester. I am a Rochester stan, tyvm) it's the psuedo-Christian Victorian morality that icks me. I had to put the book down and I wouldn't stop screaming for a good half hour
