Diction - 2

"Reader it is not pleasant to dwell on these details. Some say there is enjoyment in looking back to painful experience past; but at this day I can scarcely bare to review the times to which i allude." (290).

I thought it was very interesting that Bronte addressed the reader directly, something I haven't seen yet in the novel. Its amazing how the author puts such variety in each sentence and it personally makes me like the book more. One thing that is strange is how she describes how some people look back at painful memories for enjoyment which is odd. It makes you think about the text more and how Bronte wants you to look at the words.
