Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë: a classic novel of love, fortitude, and freedom. The story is about the life of a young orphan girl, Jane. She has endured a lot but remains resilient. Jane spends her childhood at the house of her mean Aunt, and then transfers to a very harsh boarding school. But, she perseveres and through the struggles, blossoms. It's the story of her search for love, for recognition and for her place in it. It's also the fighting spirit inside her. She is not rich, not beautiful, as Jane can be, by nature, kind to bring big and kind to make big, Jane is Jane by intelligence.

In Jane's case, things get exciting when she becomes a governess. At Thornfield Hall for Mr. Rochester. Dort, he is wealthy, enigmatic, and leaps one or more decades closer to Jane. Jane initially perceives him as being rude and aloof. Yet, they come to know each other slowly. They fall in love as their connection grows stronger. But Thornfield Hall holds a secret. This experience alters everything about this secret. Which makes Jane doubt her love and values. We know Jane is strong, but this part of the story makes it very clear. When the world is unjust, she still does what she knows to be right.

Independence is one of the coolest things to be learnt from Jane Eyre. Jane desires love, but is unwilling to forget herself in love. She is an advocate of equality and respect in relationships. Such a thing was very forward of a lady at the time, the 1800s. It also depicts Jane battling with society’s standards. It looks at the plight of women and how they had to struggle for their rights. Jane's character encourages the reader to be strong and true to themselves. Her journey is a testament that good people, people who do not possess riches or are not beautiful, do survive.

The book is campy, but in a heartfelt kind of way. Charlotte Brontë paints with her words imagining and setting images into readers mind. Thornfield Hall almost has a quality of surrealism — it is the castle that stalks the hallways. The characters are well drawn. What makes Jane feel real is that she has defects and feelings. Mr, Rochester is also a multilayered character. He is no angel, but he has a few flashes of kindness that make him relatable to the reader. The want to know what happens next is present in every chapter.

While Jane's choices might be cut and dry, they are always in line with her character choices. And that brings me to the other important thing this book talks about which is forgiveness. It is an indication of Jane's solid heart, After Jane confronts who had harmed her, Needing forgiveness and is granted mercy, The story takes place in the 19th century but the lessons last beyond centuries. Those who pick up the book can empathise with Jane and her highs and lows, regardless of generation. Jane Eyre is a must-read if you love the story of women and intense feelings. A book stuck to your brain after you've read it.
