Jane Eyre. Шарлотта Бронте

‘Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! – I have as much soul as you, – and full as much heart!’ Orphaned at a young age, Jane Eyre is foisted upon unfriendly relations, sent to school to suffer illness, injustice and privation, before striking out on her own to earn her living as a governess. Independent and passionate about nature, Jane only begins to discover fulfilment when she takes up a post at Thornfield Hall and gets to know the master Mr. Rochester, a man of changeable moods. Yet will Thornfield’s secrets and Mr. Rochester’s past prove obstacles to Jane’s happiness? With its gothic atmosphere and first-person narrative, Charlotte Brontë’s bildungsroman has captivated readers since its first appearance in 1847.
