Jane Eyre tells the story of Jane Eyre's journey from her aunt's home, where she is mistreated, to various schools, and eventually as a governess at Thornfield Hall. Along the way, Jane endures difficult circumstances but remains resilient in her pursuit of independence and love. She finds both when she falls in love with her employer, Mr. Rochester, though their relationship faces obstacles that test the strength of their bond.
