Book Review of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Jane Eyre was written by Charlotte Bronte who
was born on 21st April in 1816 in England. Her world-famous novel is
Jane Eyre which was written and published in 16 October 1847.
Jane Eyre has everything
that a typical book has, it has all the other elements. This book tells us
about the struggle of a girl to maintain her self-esteem. The setting of this
novel is in the Northern England countryside during the 19th
Century. Jane was 10 years old when her parents passed away and so she used to
live with her aunt and her family. There she was not treated as she had
expected by her aunt as well as her cousins. Later, she is sent to a boarding
school where her life is full of ups and downs. She has to follow a strict
school routine and has to face a cruel headmaster. Till the age of 16 she is a
student there and remains there as a teacher till the age of 18, but one day
she manages to leave her school and decides to be a governess at Thornfield
Hall. Here Jane starts living happily and finds happiness as her day passes by.
She instantly falls in love
with Mr. Rochester when she helps him after he is thrown from a horse. She
starts talking with him by meeting him constantly though he is expected to
marry Blanche Ingram. Rochester proposes Jane for marriage but on their wedding
day Jane discovers that Rochester cannot marry her legally because he is
already married to Bertha Mason who is a mentally challenged person now and is
locked on the third floor of their mansion. Jane remembered that she used to
hear noises from that floor but never paid much attention. Rochester tries
convince Jane to marry him so that they can live peacefully in France but she
refuses and decides to leave Thornfield.
Later she gets pressurized
from St. John who a clergyman and her cousin. Jane agrees to live with him but
not as his wife. However, she yet has a soft feeling for Mr. Rochester and goes
to Thornfield. There she sees that the estate has completely been burned by
fire which was set by Rochester’s wife who then jumped herself to death. Rochester was blinded because he tried to save
her. Jane and Rochester marry to each other and live happily with their
son.
Jane’s independent and
mature attitude draws one’s attention and motivates us to also be the same no
matter what and how the situation is. The book is full of roller coaster ride
of emotions. It portrays the life of an independent women very well. Lastly,
the story is well crafted makes the reader read more and more.
