I would like to complain
About the woman known as Jane.
She may be rather plain,
But does she not have a brain?
This old Rochester man
Who claims to want her hand
Does nothing but demand.
Does Jane not understand?
I doubt it is contentious
That we came to the consensus
That Rochester is pretentious
And far from conscientious.
If only Jane had viewed
Rochester's true attitude,
She'd be able to conclude
That he's a rude, crude dude.
It is easy to deduce
That Jane is quite obtuse
And uses any excuse
Throughout Rochester's abuse.
Jane thought she'd find her niche,
But she dug herself a ditch.
Rochester may be rich,
But he's a whiny little bitch.
When he doesn't get his way,
Or when people don't obey,
He "flips his shit," so to say,
And that's just not okay.
Although Jane may be strong,
It took her far too long
To realize that all along,
This relationship was wrong.
Now with a relieved inhale,
My opinion will prevail:
On the relationship scale,
This one's an epic fail.
If you can't tell, I'm rather anti-Rochester. Sorry, I just don't like him haha
ReplyDeleteI honestly think you described Rochester perfectly. I definitely don't like him either and probably never will. I really liked this part of your poem "Although Jane may be strong,
ReplyDeleteIt took her far too long
To realize that all along,
This relationship was wrong."
because it shows that even though she may be in love with someone it's not always in the best interest for her or her heart. It also shows that if you spend your time obsessing over one person and that they treat you poorly; she will always resort back to him.
Amy, your posts are so creative! I'm looking forward to the next one : ) And I have mixed feelings on Rochester. But maybe its because the men I've dated have been similar to him, especially in the moodiness department lol
ReplyDeleteI, too enjoyed this poem. I have one question, that formed while reading.
ReplyDeleteDid Jane learn from demanding Rochester that she could say No and that why saying it to St.John was so easy. The ability to speak her mind and stand by her decisions is newly found and credit should be give to Rochester for bringing that out in Jane.
As much as I want to say that Rochester never ever deserves any credit... ever... I think I have to agree with you, Brandie... but I still don't like him. Haha
