Jane Eyre
(Charlotte Brontë)
Jane Eyre is a young orphan being raised by Mrs. Reed, her cruel, wealthy aunt. One day, as punishment for fighting with her bullying cousin John Reed, Jane's aunt imprisons Jane in the red-room, the room in which Jane's Uncle Reed died. While locked in, Jane, believing that she sees her uncle's ghost, screams and faints. She wakes to find herself in the care of the cordial servant Bessie and the kindly pharmacist Mr. Lloyd, who suggests to Mrs. Reed that Jane be sent away to school.
Once at the Lowood School, Jane finds that her life is far from ideal. The school's headmaster is Mr. Brocklehurst, a
cruel, hypocritical, and abusive man. At Lowood, Jane befriends a young girl named Helen Burns, whose attitude toward the school's miseries is both helpful and displeasing to Jane. A massive typhus epidemic sweeps Lowood, and Helen dies. After a group of more sympathetic gentlemen takes Brocklehurst's place, Jane's life improves dramatically. She spends eight more years at Lowood, six as a student and two as a teacher. After teaching for two years, Jane accepts a governess position. Jane's employer is a man named Rochester, with whom
Jane finds herself falling secretly in love. She saves Rochester from a fire one night, which he claims was started by a
drunken servant. Rochester proposes to Jane, who accepts.
The wedding day arrives, and as Jane and Mr. Rochester prepare to exchange their vows, the voice of Mr. Mason cries out that Rochester already has a wife, Bertha. Mason introduces himself as her brother. Mr. Mason testifies that Bertha, whom Rochester married when he was a young man in Jamaica, is still alive. Rochester does not deny Mason's claims, but he explains that Bertha has gone mad and he keeps her hudden. Bertha was the real cause of the mysterious fire earlier in the story. Knowing that it is impossible for her to be with Rochester, Jane runs away.
Poor and hungry, Jane is forced to sleep outdoors and beg for food. At last,
three siblings-Mary, Diana, and St. John Rivers-take her in. St. John. surprises her one day by declaring that her uncle, John Eyre, has died and left her a large fortune. When Jane asks how he received this news, he reveals that Jane and the Riverses are cousins.
St. John decides to travel to India as a missionary, and he urges Jane to accompany him as his wife. Jane refuses to marry her cousin because she does not love him. Jane realizes that she cannot abandon forever the man she truly loves. She hurries back to Rochester's house and finds that it has been burned by Bertha Mason, who lost her life in the fire. Rochester saved the servants but lost his eyesight and one of his hands. Jane travels on to Rochester's new residence.
Rochester and Jane rebuild their relationship and soon marry. At the end of her story, Jane writes that she has been married for ten happy years and that she and Rochester enjoy perfect equality in their life together. She says that after two years of blindness, Rochester regained sight in one eye and was able to behold their first son at his birth.
