Jane Eyre 2

A detailed Summary of Jane Eyre 2


Jane Eyre is the main character in the novel Jane Eyre, written by Charlotte Bronte. She is a fictional character along with the book. The book takes place in the mid 1800's. Jane lives in five different places which greatly affect her life. The first place Jane stays is Gateshead Hall. She then goes to live at Lowood School. From Lowood Jane proceeds on to Thornfield Hall. She then advances on to Moor House. Finally, Jane reaches her final home at Ferndean. All of this happens within two decades and the novel is told in first person, which is Jane Eyre.

The first place Jane stays is Gateshead Hall. While at Gateshead, Jane is treated unfairly and is punished for things she did not do. After the death of Jane's parents, her uncle, Mr. Reed brought Jane into his house. On her uncle's deathbed Mrs. Reed promises to treat Jane like one of her own children. Jane's aunt, Mrs. Reed, does not like Jane and has a very hard time doing this. She feels Jane was forced upon her family after the death of her parents. Against her husband's request, Mrs. Reed does not treat Jane like a human being and is constantly criticizing and punishing her. In one example Jane was keeping to herself, reading a book when her cousin


Another quality Jane possessed was morality. Most of all her decisions were carefully made. She never comprised what she believed to be the moral thing to do. For example, when she found out Mr. Rochester was a married man, she ended her relationship with him. She resumed her relationship with him only after his wife had died. Throughout the story she was challenged with many dilemmas, but always seemed to make the correct decisions.

Finally, Jane reaches her final home at Ferndean. She arrives after a long trip that took her back to Thornfield where she found it in ruins. Many questions enter Jane's mind but they are soon answered by an inn keeper. She told Jane that after she left, Bertha set fire to the building and it soon was burned down to the ground and during the fire a staircase fell on Mr. Rochester. During the fall, Rochester lost one of his eyes and lost sight in his other eye due to swelling and inflammation. Soon after he also had to have his left hand amputated. The innkeeper then told Jane that Rochester was at Ferndean. She then left for Ferndean, when she arrived she was overwhelmed by the sight of her lost love. At first it took some time to convince Rochester that it was Jane Eyre, but he soon realized that it was her. Jane and Rochester were then married and she gave birth to a baby son. At the end of the novel Jane and Rochester have been married for ten years and Rochester had partially gained his sight back. This was Jane's final home.

I enjoyed the book but I did think the book was too wordy and too descriptive. I think there should have been more action because the book did bore me a bit. I thought the characters in the book were very interesting in there own secretive way. In some ways I could relate to Jane Eyre because at times I have too felt unwanted, loved, and plain. I recommend this book to readers who like books that are either historical, or people that like to read romance. I do not recommend this book to people who like science fiction, mysteries, and murder. I also don't recommend this book to people who don't like books that are long and descriptive. I think the book was well thought out, well planned, and well written.

Jane then advances on to Moor House. At Moor House Jane is at first disliked because of her begging and poor first impression, but Jane is soon taken into liking by all three members of the Rivers family, St. John, Diana, and Mary. While at Moor House, St. John gives Jane a teaching job at Morton. The job is a very frustrating job for Jane because many of the children were ignorant and refused to do their work. During the ti
