If all the characters in Jane Eyre were on Facebook and told their story through status updates on the news feed, here's what I imagine it would be like. Inspired by other sites, like Austenbook and several Twilight Facebook news feeds, as well as Charlotte Bronte's brilliant prose. All characters and plot devices are the property of Ms. Bronte, of course. PS: If anyone knows how to make this actually look like the Facebook news feed, I would welcome the help!
