Jane Eyre

"Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilised by education: they grow there, firm as weeds among stones. I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will . . ."

Challotte Bronte's book, Jane Eyre, is a novel that abounds with social criticism and sinister Gothic elements. The main Character, Jane, is a plain-featured and reserved but talented, hard-working, honest, and passionate girl , who explores and challenges the social preconceptions of nineteenth-century Victorian society ;themes of social class, gender relations, and injustice predominate throughout. Jane Eyre begins her story as an orphan raised by the wealthy and cultivated Reed family at Gateshead, and this ambiguous social standing motivates much of the novel's internal tension and conflict as her aunt and cousins, especially cousin John Reed, who chides her as a lowly orphan and inflicts insults and abuses at the least chance given. she was occasionaly sent to the "red room”—the frightening chamber in which her Uncle Reed died—as punishment. After being called a liar at Lowood Academy, the school in which her aunt took her to so as to grt rid of her, she runs away and finds a job as a governess at Thornfield Manor, where her employer, Edward Rochester fell in love with her.
