"Jane Eyre," set in early to mid-19th century England during the Victorian era, follows the resilient orphan Jane Eyre as she navigates a tumultuous journey filled with hardship, love, and self-discovery. After enduring a harsh upbringing with her aunt and cousins, she faces oppression at Lowood School, where she builds lasting friendships and develops strength. Transitioning to the role of governess at Thornfield Hall, Jane forms a deep but complicated relationship with her employer, Mr. Rochester, which is tested by societal constraints and dark secrets from Rochester's past. Revelations about Rochester's marriage to the mentally ill Bertha Mason force Jane to confront her values of love and autonomy; this dilemma prompts her to flee and find solace with the Rivers family. Ultimately, Jane inherits wealth, challenges societal expectations, and prioritizes authentic connections over status. Her refusal of a loveless marriage proposal from St. John Rivers further underscores her commitment to true love as she reunites and marries Rochester, highlighting her relentless pursuit of independence and personal integrity amidst the oppressive norms of her time.
