Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre (1847) is a story of resilience, independence, and forbidden love set in Victorian England. Through the eyes of Jane, a young orphan shaped by hardship, Charlotte Brontë crafts an intimate and deeply moving narrative where the longing for freedom and dignity challenges the constraints of a rigid society.

From her troubled childhood in a hostile household to the austere halls of Lowood School and finally to Thornfield Hall—where she encounters the enigmatic Mr. Rochester—Jane strives to remain true to her principles and her sense of self. Confronting dark secrets, emotional turmoil, and moral dilemmas, her journey becomes a powerful quest for belonging without self-betrayal. Blending social critique, spiritual reflection, and intense emotional depth, Jane Eyre stands as one of the most enduring and influential novels in world literature.
