The first time I read Jane Eyre I was 14 years old, and I have returned to it again and again, that is what it makes it a classic. But let's analyze why shall we? Jane begins life as an orphan, loved by her uncle Reed, and safe until his death, then she is maltreated like Cinderella, by her odious, spoiled remainding family. Jane is precocious and strong, literally a survivor, which she demonstrates while she is a Lowood, where she discovers friendship and sisterly love in the form of gentle Helen Burns, who in her passive manner and acceptance of her fate as an orphan, is the opposite of Jane who does not accept when things are not fair. After yet another loss, that of Helen Burns, Jane grows up in that horrible institution with one goal alone, that she will leave it and search for a better life as a governess, much to the dismay of the governing body.
This shows the reader that when Jane makes up her mind she is indomitable, and that her sense from right and wrong are deeply engraved in her being. Enter her job as a governess and her employment to Edward Rochester, who because of mysterious reasons is a morose, somber employer, yet when he wants to be he can be quite charismatic. At the beginning Jane a "mere slip of a girl" takes unto her duties with vigor, but as times pases and with her mind stimulated by her conversations with Rochester begins to fall in love with him.Then she saves his life, and more mystery is added to the tale. Edward abruptly leaves out of the picture to some friends, and leaves Jane alone, only to return with a house full of guests and with the full intention to make Jane Eyre jealous, although the reader does not know this, Edward was smitten with her when he fell of the horse at their first encounter. Rochester succeeds in making Jane confess her love for him, Bronte demonstrates by this that Jane is very passionate. Edward Rochester is considerably older than Jane, rich, a man of the world, and with a dark, troubled past, although we do not discover what horrible secret he has until the day of their appointed wedding, when the house of cards, he had built for their happiness comes tumbling down, by the denunciation that he already has a wife and she is still living. Poor crazy Bertha Mason Rochester, she is the culprit for all the mystery's that have happened in the story. Edward then reveals to Jane the hell Bertha put him in, and his other somewhat libertine relationships in Europe. Jane knows that she must leave, because to stay and live a life of sin would be wrong. So she steals into the night into an uncertain future. Surviving hunger and cold, she is destitute and even forced to eat some pig's scraps until she finally collapses at the St-John's who by a stroke of luck shelter and offer her kindness and in the end is revealed that they are long lost relatives, and to boost, Jane has come to an inheritance, from his uncle in Madeira. Honest, generous and pure that Jane is she shares it with her cousins, now Jane is an "Independent" woman she does not need any man to support her. Her cousin asks for her hand in marriage, not out of love but out necessity, as he thinks that Jane could be an excellent missionary wife. Jane is about to answer when she hears Edward's voice (the supernatural theme) and answers him, and knows in her heart that she must see him again. She returns only to find the ruins of Thornfield Hall, learn of Edward's effort to save mad Bertha, and the accident that has both made him free, and cost him his sight. It is now Jane's turn to be triumphant, and excite Rochester into a bit of jealousy, and make him realize that her love for him is larger than any barrier or deficiency in the world.

i do not get this e book. i don't like the way it really is emphasised that both Jane and Mr Rochester are grotesque. ok, no longer each human being must be acceptable, yet there is not any want to stay on it a lot. i imagine Mr Rochester is abusive. He banished his first spouse to the attic, only because she became mentally ill. He must have tried to assist her, a minimum of he would have deliver her to a wellbeing middle or a house or some thing. this isn't a thanks to take care of your spouse. He rather a lot dedicated a bigamy and deceived Jane. Jane actually fell in love with him because he became the first guy she'd ever seen. i do not understand why it really is a classic e book, perchance because this is previous. same way as older music is seen "reliable" and new music "undesirable".

Think about it. You don't even have to read the book. Just see the movie and ponder on life and love as you know it.

Like the other girl said, I think I would advise you do your own research and your own homework.
