my coments on the book

ane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte is one of the best books I have ever read. With a
rural 19th century England setting, Bronte has created a fictional account of the
early life of Jane Eyre which every reader can not help but enjoy. In this novel,
we get to recognize the conflicts between love and independence, conscience and
passion, and the struggle of a young girl and woman to maintain her self-esteem.
These were all pioneering themes in the patriarchal society of Victorian England in
the 1800s. In this article, I will first give a brief biography of Charlotte
Bronte, and then give a sketch of the setting, characters, and plot of Jane Eyre,
before concluding by commenting on the strengths and weaknesses of the novel.
