The English author Charlotte Bronte wrote the book, Jane Eyre. The main character of the book tells the story in the first person. It takes place at the end of George III’s reign, somewhere in the north of England (1760–1820). There are five main phases: Jane’s upbringing at Gateshead Hall, where her aunt and cousins abuse her physically and verbally; her schooling at Lowood School, where she makes friends and role models but experiences persecution and deprivation; Her time as a governess at Thornfield Hall, where she meets her enigmatic employer, Edward Fairfax Rochester, and falls in love; her time in the Moor House, where her earnest but icy clergyman cousin, St. John Rivers, proposes to her; and finally, her reunion with and marriage to her beloved Rochester. It offers viewpoints on a variety of significant societal topics and concepts throughout these parts, many of which are critical of the existing quo.
