SUMMARY OF THE BOOK.

The story of Jane Eyre started when she was ten years old. She was living with her aunt and cousins because her parents were both dead. Her aunt, Mrs Reed, and her cousins were very cruel with her, and so she was very unhappy. One day her aunt locked her in a cold room as an unfair punishment. In that room she became ill, and the doctor told her that she had to travel to a school called Lowood.

She thought that in Lowood school her life would be better, but she was wrong. The school was only for girls, who always felt unhappy and hungry. She stayed at Lowood until she was eighteen years old. Then she found a job as a governess in a house called Thornfield Hall. When she arrived in Thornfield, she met Adèle, her student and Mrs Fairfax, the housekeeper. She started a new life there.

One day, she met a strange man near the house who had fallen from his horse. The man was Mr Rochester, the owner of the house. One night, Jane found his bedroom on fire after she had heard a cruel laugh. She saved Mr Rochester’s life.

A few days later, some Mr Rochester’s friends came to the house. One of them was called Mr Mason. One night, Mr Mason screamed so loudly,that Jane and Mr Rochester went to his bedroom.

There they discovered that someone had tried to kill Mr Mason, who was injured. Later, Mr Rochester told Jane that a woman called Grace Poole, who was living in the attic, was the person who wanted to kill Mr Mason. After that, Mr Rochester proposed Jane if she wanted to marry him. Jane, at first, felt surprised, but she finally accepted.
