"Jane Eyre is a quaint story about a young girl who had a lot of hardship in her life. She had a terrible aunt who treated her terrible. At ten years old, she is sent to a school for young girls who had one parent or none. She meets a friend named Helen Burns who is like her twin; they like each other and become friends. There is a teacher that is like the mother figure to the school, Miss Temple. She loves her job and treats the children as if her own. There is also the Hippocratic headmaster Mr. Brocklehurst. Helen dies and Jane feels sad. Jane continues her schooling and at 16 becomes a teacher at the school. After teaching for two years at the school, she searches for a family who is looking for a governess. Somebody answers her ad and she finds a family with a French girl who needs a teacher. She lives in a place called Thornfield Hall. She moves in, she has a couple of times of hardship. She meets the house master, Mr. Rochester when he slips on the ice and she doesn’t even know it is him, she finds out who he is later. Mr. Rochester is a snob who turns out to be a nice guy. He is always away from Thornfield. Jane goes and sees her ailing aunt for a month and when she comes back, Rochester starts talking to her and says he loves her. He proposes and they plan to get married in a month. There is a mysterious character lurking in Thornfield though. On the day of her wedding, Jane discovers Rochester has been hiding a wife in the attic for 15 years. She feels like she shouldn’t live at Thornfield. She leaves without notice. She goes into a town and becomes dirt poor, she finds a house that has a family. This family, St. John Rivers, Mary Rivers and Diana Rivers takes Jane in as their adopted sister. She later finds out they are related to her through her uncle Eyre. He passed on and left her with 5,000 pounds. St. John is a missionary who is a little creepy, he says he wants to marry Jane and Jane refuses. He keeps asking and she says no again. This is when she goes to search out Rochester. A month after Jane left, Betha, Rochester’s wife set fire to Thornfield. She destroys the house by jumping off the roof. This made the house fall. He was mutilated and blinded by the accident. He was still alive and well and he was speaking. They talk and he thinks she is better off with St. John. She says she love him, he asks her to marry him. She accepts and two months after their wedding, Rochester gets his sight back. I enjoyed the book because of its gothic element. It had many creepy parts like when Jane is in the red room and she is scared by the supposed ghost of her uncle Reed. My favorite character is Mr. Rochester because he is the perfect man. He is a nice man and Jane deserved him. I did not like some of the things he did, like keeping Bertha hidden away. A character I despised was Mrs. Reed, she wasn’t the nicest person, and she said she hated Jane since childhood. She was supposed to treat Jane like her daughter and she did not do that. I give this book 4 out of 4 stars meaning I loved it. It was a love story for the ages and is a great story if you like gothic. I would suggest this book for you if you like creepy books. It is roller coaster of emotions. Make sure you have some tissues."
