My Realizations

My Dear Teacher and Fellows,

How are you? Do you like the book? I can say that this book becomes my favourite from all I have ever read and when I am reading it I receive much pleasure. I admire Bronte's sisters.

I have read some chapters and I can't keep from sharing with my impressions.Definitely they are good.On other hand I fell pitty for Jane and her life but I am sure that everything will be alright.

So,Jane Eyre is the story of a young,orphaned girl who lives with her aunt and cousins,the Reeds,at Gateshead Hall. Like all 19th century orphans,her situation pretty much resembles. Mrs. Reed hates Jane and allows her son John to torment the girl. Even the servants are constantly reminding Jane that she’s poor and worthless. Only a servant named Bessie provides Jane with some of the few kindnesses she receives, telling her stories and singing songs to her. At the tender age of ten, Jane rises up against this treatment and tells them all exactly what she thinks of them. She is punished by being locked in "the red-room," the bedroom where her uncle died, and she thinks his ghost is appearing. After this, nobody knows what to do with her, so they send her away to a religious boarding school for orphans – Lowood Institute.

     At Lowood,which is run by the hypocritical and cruel man Mr. Brocklehurst,the students never have enough to eat or warm clothes. However,Jane finds a good friend,Helen Burns,and a sympathetic teacher,Miss Temple. Under their influence,she becomes an excellent student,learning all the little bits and pieces of culture that made up a lady’s education in Victorian England:French,piano-playing,singing and drawing. Unfortunately,an epidemic of typhus breaks out at the school and Helen dies.
     Jane spends eight more years at Lowood,six as a student and two as a teacher. After teaching for two years,Jane yearns for new experiences. She accepts a governess position at a manor called Thornfield, where she teaches a lively French girl named Adele Varens. Jane goes there thinking that she’ll be working for a woman named Mrs.Fairfax, but Mrs.Fairfax is just the housekeeper.The owner of the house is a mysterious Mr. Rochester and he's Adele's guardian.Jane likes Thornfield,although not the third floor,where a strange servant named Grace Poole works alone and Jane can hear eerie and strange laughter coming from a locked room.
    One evening when Jane is out for a walk,she meets a mysterious man when his horse slips and he falls – and certainly this is Mr. Rochester. Jane and Rochester are immediately interested in each other. She likes the fact that he’s somehow craggy,dark and rough-looking instead of smooth and classically handsome. She also likes his abrupt,almost rude manners. He likes her unusual strength and spirit and seems to find her almost unworldly. He is always comparing her to a fairy or an elf or a sprite.

Guys,I have stopped here but I promise that I will read further. I am very interested in Jane and also in this mysterious man Mr.Rochester. I hope that till the end they will be together,I think so. I believe that Charlote Bronte as a woman couldn't be so rude and cruel not to write a happy end for the unhappy Jane.

Good luck my dear fellows,go on reading,this book is very interesting indeed,I like it:)

Sincerely yours,
Alina
