1. Jane Eyre
2. Charlotte Brontë
3. 486 pages
4. The title was taken from the main character, Jane Eyre, because the story tells her life.
5. The part that she returned to Mr Rochester and that he believed he was in a dream. Jane however convinced him it wasn't a dream. That part was ver emotionally because Mr Rochester feared that Jane didn't love him anymore because of the loss of his eye and his right hand. Jane loved him even more because now she could take care of him (chapter 38).
6. It's a story about someones life and everything that's told, tells something about Jane. So every part of the story is needed.
7. Jane , because she was very emancipated, even in that time. Her education at Lowood made her strictly and tidy. Her believes about marriage were also created there. She could'nt give in to Mr Rochesters love when she heard that he was already married.
8. St John Rivers, because he didn't care for the feelings of other people.
9. The story takes place in the first half of the 19th century, and it's also written in that time.
10. When the story takes place is very important for this story, because traditions were very strong and convention played a crucial role in it.
11. The story descibes the life of Jane Eyre. It starts when Jane is a
10-year-old orphan and it ends when Jane has married Mr Rochester. The most important part of Janes life has been told. So, I'm satisfied with the end.
12. When Jane found out that Mr Rochester has already married Bertha Mason, she could not accept that situation. She didn't want to marry him anymore. On the end of the book she tried to find him, because she missed him. She found out that Bertha died by falling off the roof and she wanted to marry Mr Rochester now.
13. It's a love-story with some autobiographical elements in it.
14. There isn't a clear change, but after Jane has escaped from Thornfield Hall she knew for sure that she loved Mr Rochester, of which she doubted before.
15. The story starts when Jane was 10 years old and it ends when she was about 20 years old. The story takes place in about 10 years.
16. I think the writer wanted to tell the reader how important achievement of happiness and independence of a woman is, because it had been written in 1848.
17. It's an autobiographical story so the narrator is the main character of the story. The book had also been told in the first person by the main character.
18. The sory takes place in England.
19. I would recommend the book. It's a nice story. But sometimes it's sometimes a bit complicated language, because there is a little dialect in the story.

Essay:

The five main events in the novel take place at different locations and all represent developments in Jane's character. After Gateshead, Jane goes to Lowood, and from there to Thornfield. She journeys on to Marsh end and the novel reaches its conclusion at Ferndean.

Jane was orphned at the age of one, and has lived for nine years with her unloving aunt Reed. Here she is subjected to domestic tyranny. Her cousin John reed hits and abuses her often.

John had not much affection for his mother and sisters, and an antipathy to me. He bullied and punished me; not two ar three times in the week, nor once or twice in the day, but continually: every nerve I had feared him, and every morsel,of flesh in my bones shrank when he came near. There were moments when I was bewildred by the terror he inspired, because I had no appeal whatever against either his me00naces or his inflictions; the servants did not like to offend their young master by taking my part against him, and Mrs. Reed was blind and deaf on the subject: he did both now and then in her very presence, more frequently, however behind her back.

At the age of ten, however, she finally stichs up for herself. Her indignation is lit when John Reed throws a book which cuts her head; when she objects, he rushes over and graps her hair. She flies into justified anger and strikes back. Her punishment for hitting John is to be locked up in the room where her uncle died and it is her ghastly experiences in this room hich lead to a form of breakdown. The incident marks the beginning of Jane's refusal to have her spirit broken because she is penniless and unloved.

She is a quick tempered young lady who speaks her mind freely. That's why people found her a rude girl.

"Jane, you don't understand these things: children must be corrected for their faults."
"Deceit is not my fault!" I cried out in a savage, high voice.
'But you are passionate, Jane, that you must allow: and now return to the nursery -there's a dear- and lie down a little.

She choosed to go to Lowood.
At Lowood religion is very important. Jane learns more about religion here and so it becomes important for her and it will be very important in the rest of the story.

"Read the New Testament, and observe what Christ says, and how he acts; make His word your rule and His conduct your example."
"What does he say?"
"Love your enemies; bless them that curse you; do good to themthat hate you and despitefully use you."

At Lowood she makes her first friend. It was new for her, because she had never felt a form of lovebefore.

Resting my head on Helen's shoulder, I put my armsround her waist; she drew me to her, and we reposed n silence.

She kissed me, and still keeping me at her side (where I was contented to stand, for I derived a chid's pleasure from the contemptation of her face, her dress, her one or two ornaments, her white forehead, her clutered and shining curls, and beaming dark eyes), she proceedeed to address Helen Burns.

Thornfield reveals to her the shallowness of vanity and fashion in the form of Dowager Lady Ingram and her daughters, Blanche and Mary. Although Mr Rochester rejects this society in favour of Jane's, she never feels his social equal and is uncomfortable wth the opportunity to
embellish herself.

Glad was I to get him out oof the silk warehouse, and then out of a jeweller's shop: the more he bought me, the more my cheek burned with a sense of annoyance and degredation.

Throughout her period at Thornfield, Jane consistently refers to Rochester as 'master' and 'sir'. Even in their most intimate discussions after the failed marriage, Jane still refers to him as 'Mr Rochester'. The nature of the relationship is clearly unbalanced; neither character has yet achieved a state of self-knowledge within which marriage could succeed. Jane knows that she cannot remain.

At Marsh End Jane discovers her family, the Eyres, financial security and, after a long psychological struggle with St John Rivers, the sels-determination to make her own choices.

The appropriatey named Ferndean is the setting for her rediscovery of Mr Rochester and Jane
Jane finally achieves hapiness and satisfaction. Her relationship with Rochester is no longer one of master and servant, but of equals.

No woman was ever nearer to her mate than I am: ever more absolutely bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh.

If I had to describe Jane in a few words, I woud describe her as a intelligent young lady, with perseverance, eager to learn, obstinate and she knows what she wants.
Inside she is beautiful, I think outside she is beautiful too, but she says it's not:

I sometimes wished to have osy cheeks, a straight nose, and a small cherry mouth; I desired to be tall, stately and finely developed in figure; I felt it a misfortune that I was so little, so pale, and had features so irregular and so marked.
