Jane is a person with a strong character and aninteresting but really hard life. At the end of the story she finds her fortune.

I first saw the film, and that was good for understanding the book better. The book was like the film, natural, sad and a bit romantic. All this experiences whitch Jane had had in her live are written in this book very honest. I think that the writer of this book is a person who knows and understand the problems of people who have a special live. The end and the beginning of this book were very hard and difficult to understand for a normal person. I think the film was better then this book, but it wasn't bad.

I can think of no higher compliment to a book than to see its pages worn, cover creased by repeated use. With every reading over the years, I have gained new insight into Jane and Rochester.Jane is (as she describes herself) "poor, obscure, plain and little", but she is also possesses incredible strength and conviction. Rochester is her match in passion, a dark and complicated hero. Theirs is a love story of two equals. Nowadays, this may seem commonplace (though, unfortunately, not as common as we may think); in Charlotte Bronte's time, this was a major revelation. Indeed, it was considered scandalous. Imagine--a woman asserting her own ideals and independence, considering herself equal to a man! Shocking! I have heard some say that they believe Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights" to be the masterpiece of the Bronte family. While I loved that book, its protagonists cannot begin to compete with the strong, complex characters that Charlotte Bronte has given us. "Jane Eyre" is not only the masterwork of the Bronte family; it is one of the greatest books of the nineteenth century. Because I love this book so much, I cannot truly do it justice in this review. Please read it if you have not before. If you read it long ago, read it again. I promise you a great read and moving experience!
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Jane Eyre Review: Jane Eyre was a very well written book. The book is written by Charlotte Bronte. The book is written in the third person and the author's style is wonderful. Jane is a girl in the beginning and is about five years old. The book explains all about Jane and all of the good and bad events throughout her life. When she becomes a woman, her life gets very exciting and full of adventures.I don't want to give away anything more about the book. I highly recommend Jane Eyre to any young person who has a large vocabulary or has very good dictionary skills, or any adult, so they can understand it. This is certainly a reading challenge, but if you ask anyone who read it, they'll say they loved it!

The relationship between Jane and Mr. Rochester is the most intensely moving love relationship I have ever read in a novel. I doubt I will ever come across any as lovely and meaningful again. Jane is an inspiration to many a modern day woman and I would recommend this book be read in high school and it's messages be studied as to their relevance to today. So wonderful a story- so many lessons. I have seen several of the movie versions- my favorite being the A & E version from 1997. The actor who played Mr. Rochester caught his essence perfectly.

Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: A brief overview of Jane Eyre. Review: Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre is a book that reveals, the complexities of a woman's mind, her struggle for independence and her search for a separate identity. It is a journey beginning with the innocence of a young girl, an orphan, and unfolds to show us the growth of the female protagonist in her search for an identity, helping us to see the world through her eyes. Bronte's style of writing is such, that the confusion and bewilderment young Jane feels is palpable, as is her hunger to be loved and the hurt she feels, on being ill-treated. The novel cannot be called an autobiography, but many of the incidents that go into the making of the novel have been taken from the life of the author. There is also an element of the supernatural, which appealed greatly to the readers of the time but does not invoke the same response today. The book also gives us an insight into the age in which the author wrote. The position of women, in the society or rather the lack of it. The portrayal of Rochester's wife in the attic at Thornfield can be interpreted as the darker side of Jane's personality. The part of her that she suppresses after being locked in the "Red Room" at the Reed mansion. Mad bertha is that part of Jane that she has to lock away in order to be accepted in a stifling and prudish Victorian society.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: A romantic classic for all time Review: I read this book in junior high school and, like so many other girls, fell head over heels in love with Mr. Rochester; after all this time, the book is still a terrific read. The first part is classic Cinderella with an interesting twist. Jane is an orphan who is abused and mistreated by her rich and evil stepmother and her nasty cousins; unlike Cinderella, Jane stands up age age 10 and fights back. She is promptly shunted off to a school for girls from poor families, where she spends the next eight years. Needing a change of scene and environment, she answers an advertisement for a governess and enters the household of Mr. Rochester. Rochester, however, is no Prince Charming; he's 17 or 18 years older than Jane, hard, bitter, cynical, selfish, and, unknown to all but a few, encumbered with a wife who is the prototype of the "mad wife in the attic". Rochester is a romantic at heart, however; he is captivated by Jane's innocence and simplicity. We all know how the book comes out so there is no sense in rehashing the plot; suffice to say that Bronte is a marvelous storyteller. The one problem I have with Jane Eyre is the same that arises in Bronte's other books, and that is her stifling insularity; she seems unable to find value in anything that outside her own narrow, English Protestant frame of reference. However, this is a small caveat in this book. "Jane Eyre" is a classic romantic novel that has entranced generations of readers and looks good for generations to come.
