Jane Eyre

“All my heart is yours, sir: it belongs to you; and with you it would remain, were fate to exile the rest of me from your presence forever.”– Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre is a novel by English writer Charlotte Brontë, published under the pen name "Currer Bell", on 16 October 1847, by Smith, Elder & Co. of London.

The first American edition was published the following year by Harper & Brothers of New York. Jane Eyre is a Bildungsroman which follows the experiences of its eponymous heroine, including her growth to adulthood and her love for Mr. Rochester, the brooding master of Thornfield Hall.

Jane Eyre is often considered one of great books of all time. It follows the emotions and experiences of a strong, unbroken woman who continued to grow morally and spiritually despite a troubled childhood and a sexist, repressed Victorian society.

One’s story begins as a young child, an orphan, who is abused and mistreated by relatives and the school she is sent away to.

The dome of the storyline focuses on betrayal by Mr. Rochester as Jane discovers not only is he already married, but his deranged wife is living in the attic wing of the estate!

Through all of this, Jane maintains her integrity and retreats, not letting her emotions betray who she knows herself to be.

Now let's get into Jane Eyre, shall we?
