简爱jane Eyre
Jane Eyre is a first-person narrative of the title character,a small,plain-faced,intelligent and honest English orphan.The novel goes through five distinct stages:Jane's childhood at Gateshead,where she is abused by her aunt and cousins; her education at Lowood School,where she acquires friends and role models but also suffers privations; her time as the governess of Thornfield Manor,where she falls in love with her Byronic employer,Edward Rochester; her time with the Rivers family at Marsh's End (or Moor House) and Morton,where her cold clergyman-cousin St John Rivers proposes to her; and her reunion with and marriage to her beloved Rochester at his house of Ferndean.Partly autobiographical,the novel abounds with social criticism and sinister gothic elements.
