the setting

The novel talks about : Love, with Rochester and Jane's love story Ability to make decisions, because Jane decide to not marry Rochester because of her values Female independence, because Jane does not connect with the Victorian stereotype of a submissive woman who marries anyone who asks her to

Personally I think Jane Eyre is a really good book. I love Charlotte Brönte's writing and the way she makes the characters seem so realistic. This novel teaches about love, how a woman can make decisions, and although it was written in the Victorian era it deals with current issues such as Bertha Mason being segregated in the attic because she is crazy, this makes me think of segregated women in the world now. Charlotte also gave us an overview of the hygienic conditions, in fact she told us about tuberculosis, or the school where most people die because they get sick. In my opinion Jane Eyre is a novel that involves the reader also for its autobiographical form, and I liked the descriptions and I can say that this is a really valid novel.

Jane Eyre is an orphan who lives at the home of her aunt, Sarah Reed. Her cousins John, Eliza and Giorgiana Reed bullied her. She manages to escape from her relatives by going to Lowood School. The hygienic conditions there were insufficient so many girls fell ill and died. Jane's best friend also dies in her arms of consumption. Jane continued her studies and became a teacher at Lowood School itself. After that she manages to get work at Thornfield Hall, belonging to the Rochester family, where she teaches Adele, the landlord's daughter. After a few months she comes home Mr. Rochester. He brings home his friends including Blanche Ingram a beautiful woman who was supposed to marry Rochester for pretend, but it turns out that Jane and Rochester love each other and want to get married. On the day of the wedding, it is revealed that Rochester is already married to Bertha Mason, a mad woman locked up in Thornfield's attic. Jane decides to leave the house. She is welcomed into the home of John Rivers and her sisters, and becomes a teacher in the town school. It turns out that Jane was the nephew of a wealthy winemaker and that John, Diana and Mary are her cousins. John proposes to Jane to marry him and to go to India together but she refuses and goes to look for Rochester. She discovers that Thornfield had been burned by Bertha and that Rochester has lost the sight in one eye and is maimed. The two get married and Adele moves in with them. Eventually Rochester partially regains his sight and is able to see his and Jane's firstborn
