Jane Eyre is a famous and influential classic written by a well-known writer - Charlotte Bronte. It is about a poor orphan who grows up in a joyless childhood with the hatred of her tyrannous aunt. She is soon able to escape her gloomy fate and attends a boarding school. Here, although it is better, she has to endure, again, an inhumanely stern Mr. Brocklehurst, who labels her as a liar. Fortunately for her, after a calamitous academic, Mr. Brocklehurst is expelled and the living condition in the boarding school vastly ameliorates. She is also inspired by her teacher - Ms. Temple - a kind-hearted teacher. After graduating and working for the school for a while, she finds a work which she enjoys - a governess. This also when a new, exciting adventure begins.
I like this book very much. The characters are very realistic and are described in details. It reflects accurately the English society at that time - where women were treated unfairly and were leading a hard life. However, what makes Jane Eyre special is her bravery, perseverance and independence. From her, we can understand how to hope and overcome hard situations. Also, the plot is very logically structured and while some parts are romantic and humorous, some are very thrilling and exciting. The irony is also what makes it more fun to read. I would give it a 10/10.
