With Jane Eyre passion enters the English novel: the isolated, naked soul responding to life totally and uninhibitedly at her Aunt Reed’s house, at Lowood school and then at Thornfield Hall, with Mr Rochester.
The work tells the story of Jane's early life, her experience at Lowood School and as a governess. Her refusal to accept Rochester's love on any but her own strictly moral terms is a passionate cry for independence.
