It’s an understatement to say that Charlotte Bronte was bossy and immediate in her ways. I see Jane Eyre very much like a biography of her life at times, and absolutely fascinating to think that maybe, Charlotte wrote it from real experiences. I know that the school that Jane attends (Lowood) is based on the school her sisters attended – which ended their lives, but is any of it fiction? When it was first released in 1847 many people thought it was a biography under the name of the editor it was published (Curer Bell, Charlotte’s “disguise” as a writer). Jane and Charlotte, from what I’ve read are very alike in their ways, and beliefs.

Advantages: Excellently written Disadvantages: None
As a bildungsroman, Jane Eyre follows the journey of its heroine's development from youth to intellectual maturity.

Christianity, on the other hand, only believes in One God. The perfect God who controls the whole world. Unlike Pagans, Christians believe that ...

I am having to read this book in great detail for my GCSE exams, as it goes to my coursework mark.
Everyday i sit through the teenage boys moaning about how boring it is, and the teenage girls saying the same thing! I do not understand, i think it is a fabulous book, and would recommend it to anyone with a passion for reading.
This book is about a girl named Jane Eyre, obviously.
She starts off her life in a bad way, both her parents die and she is sent off to live with her cruel aunt, Mrs Reed, and her awful children. After a few years, Mrs Reed sends Jane off to Lowood school, to teach her humility and how to be a good Christian. This all may seem goodhearted, but the way in which the Reed family treat Jane is disgusting.
Lowood school teaches Jane lessons she will keep for the rest of her life, and this theme of "lessons ...
