The novel Jane Eyre follows the story of a character with the same name, an orphan who was abused by her cruel aunt at a young age. After being sent to a charity school, she meets with further abuse, fortunately she receives an education, which lands her a job as a governess (person hired to teach children in a household) at the estate of Edward Rochester. Over time, Edward and Jane begin to fall in love with each other, but we learn that there is more to Edward than meets the eye. Jane Eyre, along with Pride and Prejudice is one of the most popular romance novels of all time. Jane Eyre explores themes of class, sexuality, religion, and feminism. The novel can be considered to be way ahead of its time, as it explores these previously untouched themes.
