“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an
independent will.”
Orphaned, Jane Eyre, grows up in the home of her heartless aunt,
enduring loneliness and cruelty. Her troubled childhood strengthens
her natural independence and spirit — which prove necessary when she
finds employment as governess to the young ward of Mr Rochester. As
her feelings for Rochester develop, Jane gradually uncovers Thornfield
Hall's terrible secret, forcing her to make a choice.
Should she stay with Rochester and live with the consequences, or
follow her convictions — even if it means leaving the man she loves ?
