“Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Bronte, English novelist, the eldest of the three Brontë sisters, has much of a gothic novel. The book recounts a life of a young woman, a strong independent personality, describing her childhood, growing up, searching of her way in life and obstacles she encounters. It is worth noticing that the early events of the novel, when little Jane is sent to a rigorous Lowood School, are based on the personal author’s experience. Jane struggles through her cheerless childhood and becomes governess at Thornfield Hall, where she falls in love with Edward Rochester, rich owner of the gloomy Gothic estate, but her moral convictions keep her from becoming his mistress. Let the rest of the book, having an intricate, exciting plot and touching questions of morality, religion and gender relations, speak for itself.
