Jane Eyre
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
Can I respect myself even in the moments when no one else protects me?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I first heard the voice of Jane—an orphan, poor and plain—I was overwhelmed by her fierce self-respect. This novel is no simple romance. It is one human being's fierce declaration never to sell her soul cheaply, no matter how many of the world's disadvantages are stacked against her. Jane's firmness, refusing to bend her principles even before the one she loves, shames me—I who so often measure my own worth by leaning on the gaze of others.
— ONGO · Curator
"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will."Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
"나는 새가 아니며, 어떤 그물도 나를 가둘 수 없다. 나는 독립적 의지를 가진 자유로운 인간이다."
🌱Apply It Today
If there was a moment today when you tried to suppress your feelings or principles just to please others, say aloud to yourself: "I respect myself."
