『Jane Eyre』

Jane Eyre is a classic novel by Charlotte Bronte that was published in 1847 by Smith, Elder & Company, London, and is one of the most famous British novels.
Charlotte Bronte (April 21, 1816 – March 31, 1855) was an English novelist and the eldest of the three Bronte sisters whose novels have become enduring classics of English literature.

This story is about one orphan girl’s life. Her name is Jane Eyre. She is not beautiful; she is just an ordinary girl. She grow up in Aunt Read’s house, she treated maliciously by her aunt and aunt’s family. Then also she sent to boarding school; the name of school is low wood. There is a lot of bullying at her school. She had terrible treatment, however she could make friend. Her friend’s name is Helen, but she dies young of consumption, encourages Jane to be more humble, patient and forgiving. Jane got always raw deal, but she never give up. She has strong mind.

After the graduate from low wood boarding school, she becomes a tutor. She works at Mr. Rochester’s house at Thorn field Hall. Mr. Rochester is about thirty-eight, with a blunt, capricious temperament. However Jane respects his honesty, and fall in live him. And she proposed by him, and the day of marriage, she knew Mr. Rochester has a mad wife. Jane couldn’t get over the shock. So, she decided to leave Thorn field.

Then she lives serenely, but she can’t forget Mr. Rochester. So, she hurries to Thorn field, only to find it has burned to the ground. That’s the reason why Mr. Rochester’s house burned is Mr. Rochester’s mad wife Bertha put on fire. She jumped from roof and dead. And she knew that Mr. Rochester lost one hand, one eye and the sight of his other eye in the conflagration. At first he fears that she will refuse to marry a blind cripple, but Jane accepts him without hesitation. They live happily forever.

After reading this book, I impressed with Jane’s strong mind. In the passage, Jane said "I am not deceitful: if I were, I should say I loved you; but I declare I do not love you: I dislike you the worst of anybody in the world” for Mrs. Reed. I like this scene. Then I also watched movie, that was faithfully for book.
