Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Traditional Chinese with Pinyin
Jayne Eyre is a famous and influential novel by English writer
Charlotte Bronte that was first published in 1847 in London, England.
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 hardships, 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.
