Question

Jane Eyre is an orphan. After her parents die, she is put in the care of her aunt. She has a very hard and difficult upbringing, and eventually becomes a governess at Thornfield Hall where she is given a job of looking after the daughter of a certain Mr. Rochester. Mr. Rochester is a classic hero from romantic fiction. He’s dark and very angry-looking and has a bad temper but at the same time he is very attractive. In spite of Jane’s plainness, Rochester is fascinated by her. He finds her witty and full of spirit. Gradually, he falls in love with her and Jane falls in love with him. Everything looks as if it’s going to be happy but at the very last moment they are prevented from marrying when it is revealed that Rochester’s wife is not only alive, but she’s also mad, and living in the attic rooms of Thornfield Hall. Jane runs away and nearly dies out on the moors. Luckily, she is rescued by the Reverend St. John Rivers, and later, although she is still in love with Rochester, she agrees to marry Rivers and go with him to India. She is stopped from doing this by a telepathic message from Rochester. Jane returns to Thornfield Hall to find that the house has burnt down, and that Rochester is sad and deeply depressed. He had tried unsuccessfully to save his wife from the fire, and during his attempt he had been blinded and permanently injured by the fire.
