Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre is one of those books, I must have read again and again. I dont know what is there in this book that I like it so much. I love narrating stories so would like to say a few things about this book here.

It begins with the life of a young orphaned girl Jane Eyre, who lives with her aunty and cousins. They ill treat her. Her life is so pthetic there. She is then sent to a horrible girls charity boarding school. Life is equaly pathetic here initialy. Little food to eat, emotionless atmosphere, but she manages very well. The situation changes soon and she spends 8 years there.She grows up and becomes a teacher in the same place. She then needs some change and decides to take up the job of the governess of a young,little girl but is drawn to the master of the house...a rich handsome man. She is engaged to teach Adele, Mr. Edward Rochesters illegitamate child. She finds herself falling for Edward, but thinks he is in love with a beautiful Lady named Blanche. He, meanwhile, is falling in love with Jane.Edward finally proposes, and persuades Jane to accept. She does, and the day of her wedding, a horrible secret comes out...

She gets to know that this man was already married. She is a very sensitive, emotional girl. She runs away from the place...from him. With no money and nothing but the clothes on her back she sets off to a new town. She cant even manage getting food for herself. She feels she is almost dead when she meets new people there. A father's family. They accept her warmly. She leads a comfortable life there. She discovers she had some secret fortune too. She shares this with the father's family. The father is a very handsome man. He proposes Jane Eyre. He wants to marry her and leave for India...where he intends to do some charity work, some social work. But Jane never ever forgets her love. She infact could not stop herself and went to meet Edward. She soon discovers even more surprising things.

There was a fire in Edwards house. His wife dies in the same though Edward tried his best to save her. His wife was mad and had burnt the house. Edward lost his hand and eyes in the same accident. Jane went to meet him and though Edward wanted Jane to leave....She stayed with him.. She expressed her love for him.. She convinced him to marry her.. and they got married.

It also has a good moral, because even though some parts of her life were very sad, once she grew older she faced most of them with a very good attitude. Which in the end worked out to her benefit. It's also important to see how Jane forgave Mr. Rochester.

The book was written in 1800s..but its one real good read. Its different when you read it..though some might have seen the movie already.But it did become a well known classic for a reason.
