Jane Eyre (C. Brontë)

Jane Eyre a young orphan lived at her aunt’s home. She had also an uncle but he lives too far away. Jane didn’t live a pieceful life because the family where she lived hated her. She was always blamed while she hadn’t done it. On day they go a big row and Jane got locked up. While she was in this room, her aunt called a teacher to talk about what they had to do with Jane. The teacher, the head of a school took her with him to his school. There she had a wonderful life, she learned a lot and grew up with a best friend. But one day this horrible head teacher came, and told to all the pupils and teachers how bad she had behaved at home. Jane was furious and went to the head teacher. She told her storie to Miss Temple, and Miss Temple believed her. Jane’s name was cleared, and could develop further. Jane became a best student and she later became a teacher. But after many happy years, her favorite teacher, friend and a kind of mother got married and left school. Jane decided to go working as a private teacher, so placed a advertisement.
A certain Mrs. Fairfax answers it. Jane went to Thornfield and became a governes for a little girl. When she arrived Mrs. Fairfax (the houskeeper) received her gently. The owner of the house was Mr Rocherster, he was the guardian of Adela Varens (the little girl). When Jane got showed the house she heared a strange laugh, but she didn’t know what, where and who it was. The housekeeper told Jane that it one of the servants was, Grace Poole.
After many month had passed and finally Mr. Rochester came home, but Jane was in some way attracted to him. And Mr. Rochester likes her because of her clever remarks.
One night Jane couldn’t sleep because of the strange noise she heared again, and went looking in Mr Rochester’s room. When she went in, she saw the bed on fire and extinguished it. Jane told Mr Rochester that she suspected Grace, but he said to don’t mention a thing about that night. And on an other evening an even more strange thing happened. A visitor called Mr. Mason was attacked with a knife by someone. And when Jane was taking care of him, in the room dext door was the laugh and the screaming again.
Not a very long time after this incident the husband of a her aunt’s housekeeper came to tell her that her niece had died and her aunt is going to. Her aunt asked to come before she died and Jane’s aunt gave a letter from her uncle John in Madeira.
When she came back at Thornfield Mr. Rochester asked her to marry him and Jane accepted the proposal. Two nights before the wedding she wakes up again and thought there was a servant in her room. This woman tore Jane’s weddingdress to peaces, and Jane suspected Grace again.
On the wedding, the ceremonie was interupted by a lawyer who didn’t agree with the marriage. This was because Mr. Tochester had been married to Bertha Mason, the sister of Mr. Mason. The wedding was stopped and Mr. Rochester told the whole story to Jane. His father and brother managed this marriage with Bertha. His wife turned, from a beautiful woman, into a mad woman. So Mr. Rochester hired Grace Poole to keep an eye on her. After this story Mr. Rochester decided to show his wife to Jane, Mr. Mason and to the lawyer.. When the madwoman sees her husband she attacks him. Because of this, she can’t stay and leaves Thornfield in the middle of the night. After many days of walking and not much eating she was asked to enter the house of St. John Rives and his two sisters (Mary and Diana). Jane grew close with the two sisters and they let her stay. She had to do something so St. John offered a job as teacher on the village school started by him.
One day the Rives family got a letter which said that their uncle John had died. They weren’t saddened because this uncle wasn’t a close relative and he left all his properties to someoneelse. That night St. John came to Jane and told he had found out her real name (she had said she was Jane Elliot while she is called Eyre) and uncle John had given all his properties to her. Jane decided to share it with the others, because it was also their uncle.
Suddenly Jane woke up in the middle of a night, and heard avoice calling her name. It was Mr. Rochesters’ voice. The next day Jane went immediately back to Thornfield Hall. When she got there, she saw Thornfield as a ruin, destroyed by fire. She is very afraid Mr. Rochester had died, but someone told her what happened. Mr. Rochester’s lunatic wife had put the house on fire. When Mr. Rochester wanted to save her, Bertha killed herself by jumping off the roof. Because he wanted to safe her he lost his hand and his vision. Mr. Rochester went thirty miles away on his own and Jane immediately went to find him. She met a weak and blind Mr. Rochester. When he heard Jane has come he became very happy. Soon after that they got married.
Mr. Rochester remaid blind for the first two years of their marriage, but then, one morning he could see a little and he got his eyesight back of one eye, which enables him to see his beloved wife and his first-born son.
