The orphaned little girl who grew up in an aunt’s house, raised in an inhumane charity, Jane Eyre, who maintains her character, finds a job as a governor in Thornfield’s mansion, knows him, and knows him.

Through her life, work, and love, she claims and earns dignity, respect and self-respect, things that are commonplace for most Victorian women.

Charlotte Bronte’s novel is a portrait of the time, but also a timeless love story that does not end with marriage but establishes a new life.
