Overview & Summary

Orphaned and raised in cold, abusive circumstances, Jane Eyre becomes a governess at Thornfield Hall, where she falls in love with her brooding employer, Mr. Rochester -- only to discover a devastating secret locked away in the house on the eve of their wedding. Jane's fierce insistence on her own moral and emotional independence, even at great personal cost, made Charlotte Brontë's 1847 novel a groundbreaking depiction of female interiority and self-respect.
