Em I really want 10 points so I'll tell you everything I know! Okay here goes: Jane Eyre was orphaned as a baby and had to live with her aunt and uncle and cruel cousins (kinda like harry potter lol). At the age of eight she fought her cousins back and she was sent to a boarding school-I think it was called Lowood. The teachers were really strict-they cut off a girls hair because it was curly instead of straight. There's one nice teacher and Jane befriends her. Years pass and Jane ends up teaching at the school. She wants a change so she goes to be a governess at this big posh house. She teaches a little French girl called Adele and eventually meets the mysterious master Mr Rochester. Time passes again and they fall in love. But rochester has a mysterious past. Turns out he has a crazy wife locked in a room in the house. Jane runs away and this crazy woman Bertha burns down the house. Rochester goes blind from the fire and Jane eventually returns and looks after him. She gives birth to their baby boy who has the same dark eyes as his father and Rochester regains his sight around the birth of their son...The End! Jane Eyre is a classic but its a bit long and pretty complicated...

Hun, you should really just read this book yourself... not only is it an excellent romance, it was the first published feminist work and advocates a strong female character with good morals.

I've re-read the story many times, and always take more out of it at every read.
