Jane Eyre, a love story between a lord and his governess, has always been one of my favorite novels. An orphan girl, who was cruelly discarded by her aunt, and was sent to the charity school, never submitted herself to her unfair fate. In spite of the hardship and ill-treatment in the school, she developed her independent character and later made herself a governess in Thornfield, the manor of Mr. Rochester. The unfortunate te past of Mr. Rochester made his heart hardened, his nature capricious . However, during their association, the intelligence and independent will of Jane greatly impressed him, and by degrees, softened his frozen heart. I admire the lines of their dialogue so much, especially the breathtaking lines when Mr. Rochester proposed to the heroine. The enormous predicament of their marriage, Mr. Rochester's lunatic wife,at a extremely high price, the male protagonist's eyes and the manor, eventually vanished. The return of Jane, who had at that time inherited a large fortune from her lately deceased uncle, fully proved her sheer love to Mr. Rochester, who had become handicapped in the calamity. This story has been adapted for the screen, in several versions. I was deeply absorbed by this book as well as the film adaptation.
