Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre, an orphan at a very young age, soon learns to face the obstacles of life, first under the care of her rich and malevolent Aunt Reed, and years later under the oppressive regime of the Lowood Orphanage, where she will go from being a stoic girl, abused and selfless to an intellectual and passionate woman struggling to find her place in the world. Modest, uncomfortable, frank, independent, rebellious in the face of injustice, and with an uneasy intellectual restlessness, she escapes her fate when she is presented with the opportunity to act as a governess at Lord Rochester's house. But things will not be as easy as they seem. Jane Eyre presents the portrait of a woman who, with unusual frankness and a passionate sense of dignity and justice, refuses to accept the position that society assigns her.
