Following the death of her uncle, the orphan Jane Eyre is sent to the Lowood School, where she grows into a confident and well-educated young woman. When Jane leaves to become a governess at Thornfield Hall, she falls in love with Mr. Rochester, her pupil's guardian. But a series of eerie and terrifying events threatens to destroy her happy future.

Literary history and meaning: Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë, was first published in 1847. It is a coming-of-age novel about a young woman who overcomes a traumatic childhood and falls in love. The book explores themes of love, independence, and the struggle against societal expectations. Charlotte Brontë was a gifted storyteller, and her prose is both beautiful and evocative. Readers today relate to Jane's defiance of limiting gender roles, her insistence on equality in her relationships, her career ambitions, and her inner resilience in the face of life's trials. Brontë's timeless novel continues to empower modern women to follow their hearts, stand up for their beliefs, and be the authors of their own stories.
