"Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! - I have as much soul as you, - and full as much heart!"
Jane Eyre is the story of a woman's search for equality, independence, and freedom. An orphan growing up subject to neglect, cruelty and small-mindedness, Jane longs to broaden her ideas and her horizon. With no fortune and no pretensions to beauty, plain Jane does not expect to find love. Like a trapped bird, she fights for her freedom but, as a penniless, friendless, 19th century woman, there are limited opportunities to expand her world. Gaining the position of governess at Thornfield Hall seems like a huge adventure but soon reveals itself to be another cage. When she finally meets her employer, the abrupt, sardonic Edward Rochester, she finds her intellectual match in this knowledgeable and well-travelled man, who treats Jane more like an equal than a member of his staff. Their mutual attraction leads Jane to hope, desolation and despair.
Will Jane win through to find her happiness?
