	Joyce Carol Oates - Jane Eyre: An Introduction
		Jane Eyre, who seems to us, in retrospect, the very voice of highly educated but socially and economically disenfranchised gentility, as natural in her place in the literature of nineteenth-century England as Twain's Huckleberry Finn is in our literature, was unique for her time.
		Jane Eyre's hunger and that of Bertha Mason are not seen to overlap, for one is always qualified by intellectual scrupulosity and a fierce sense of integrity; the other is, and was, sheerly animal.
		Jane's awakening next morning is to a bitter revelation: she begins to experience genuine hunger and to suffer the humiliation, mounting very nearly to physical terror, of near-starvation.

	Jane Eyre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jane is a plain, quiet, and intelligent girl with a passionate soul and an occasional tendency to inappropriate honesty and direct outbursts.
		Jane is determined to stay modest, plain, and virtuous, and Rochester is almost equally determined to offer her expensive presents and finery.

	Jane Eyre
		Jane Eyre was a watershed novel at the time it was written because it blended two styles of novels: the romantic novel and the gothic novel.
		Jane's fears of the ghost are consistent with her vivid imagination; yet the ghost never appears, and Jane is returned to cruel reality.
		Jane's feelings toward her backwoods students and the "germs of native excellence, refinement, intelligence (and) kind-feeling" that "are as likely to exist in their hearts as in those of the best-born" (342) are likely to have caused a stir among non-romantics of the period.

		Jane rejects superficiality on all levels and her moral stances throughout the novel are rewarded by her eventual marriage to the wounded Rochester, but also a growing self-acceptance.
		Jane has had an unloved childhood, but is still able to feel her own worth as a person, and hold on to what she thinks is right.

	Charlotte Bronte
		Jane Eyre is throughout the personification of the unregenerate and undisciplined spirit, the more dangerous to exhibit from that prestige of principle and self-control which is liable to dazzle the eye too much for it to observe the inefficient and unsound foundation on which it rests.
		Altogether the autobiography of Jane Eyre is preeminently an anti-Christian composition.
		Jane Eyre is obviously written from the first person point of view or "I." When the novel was initially published, the subtitle was An Autobiography, and Currer Bell was identified as the editor rather than as the author.

	Jane Eyre Summary
		At Thornfield, Jane was comfortable with life - what with the grand old house, its well-stocked and silent library, her private room, the garden with its many chestnut, oak and thorn trees, it was a veritable palace.
		Jane's love for Rochester was still strong, and she gladly chose to marry him.

		Jane Eyre is an incredibly lyrical, moving composition, written way back in 1971 for a British TV movie based on the classic Charlotte Brontë novel, starring George C. Scott and Susannah York.
		Jane Eyre was written in the pre-Star Wars days when Williams was still known as Johnny and, as you would expect, it lacks the bombast and huge orchestrations that have characterised his later, more famous scores.
		The opening track, the 'Jane Eyre Theme', is simply stunning, with Bob Docker's piano solo floating away beautifully against a sublime string counterpoint that confirms Williams' standing as one of the greatest exponents of the graceful melody.

	Penguin Reading Guides \| Jane Eyre \| Charlotte Brontë
		Jane's willfulness scandalized many contemporary critics, who called her (and the novel) "coarse" and "unfeminine." Such criticisms were powerless against the novel's popularity, and Jane's indomitable voice continues to enthrall readers more than 150 years after the novel's original publication.
		In Jane, Brontë gives us a character able to withstand St. John's missionary call to self-immolation in a marriage to serve humanity and Rochester's attempts to persuade her to indulge her sexual and romantic desires at the expense of her own moral code.
		As central to the novel as Jane's conflicted relationship with Rochester is, her connection with his mad, despised first wife, Bertha Mason Rochester, is at least as intriguing, though the two women hardly meet and never converse.

		Charlotte Brontë's novel Jane Eyre (1847) has been the subject of numerous television and film adaptations.
		This classic Hollywood version, directed by Robert Stevenson and released by 20th Century Fox, is considered the definitive version by many.
		The film's screenplay was based on a radio adaptation of the novel by Orson Welles' Mercury Theatre on the Air, which John Houseman collaborated on.

		Jane is sent to a horrible boarding school by her malicious aunt, then becomes a governess working at a mysterious manor.
		After all, Jane starts out as a poor orphan girl, and while things don't go her way for a long time, eventually she wins out, winning the heart of the man she loves and becoming rich, yet keeping her dignity all along.
		However, Jane Eyre was written during a time when female authors were not regarded highly or taken seriously, which I think contributes to the idea that Jane Eyre may have been a subtle catalyst for the idea of the female underdog.

		Jane is as close to a feminist as a woman could get in her time, and despite her quiet manners, she holds strong convictions about love, morality, and equality between the sexes.
		Jane Eyre is a classic and I would say it deserves it's status as "classic." Even though it's over 100 years old it's unique heroine and twisted plot is still refreshing to read and different from many other stories that are out there to date.

		The story is a classic one: Jane Eyre, an unloved orphan is sent to school, where she is educated in a strict, cruel manner, there growing to adulthood learning little of life in the world.
		Jane hurries to Rochester, at a remote piece of property, where she discovers him broken down and dispirited, believing Jane to be forever lost to him, and suffering from the physical punishments God has inflicted upon him for trying to fly in the face of morality.
		There is a beautiful, poignant moment when Rochester first proposes to Jane by baring his soul to her, allowing her to look, not into his eyes, but into his soul, where he reveals not the worldly exterior and the miseries with which life has saddled him, but the true, pure being beneath.

		I mean the timorous or carping few who doubt the tendency of such books as Jane Eyre: in whose eyes whatever is unusual is wrong; whose ears detect in each protest against bigotry- that parent of crime- an insult to piety, that regent of God on earth.
		Presently he addressed me- 'Your name, little girl?' 'Jane Eyre, sir.' In uttering these words I looked up: he seemed to me a tall gentleman; but then I was very little; his features were large, and they and all the lines of his frame were equally harsh and prim.
		Lulled by the sound, I at last dropped asleep; I had not long slumbered when the sudden cessation of motion awoke me; the coach-door was open, and a person like a servant was standing at it: I saw her face and dress by the light of the lamps.

		Jane: No, I was going to ask you something completely unrelated, because I have come to this place thinking you were the owner, which you are not, thinking I was going to be a governess for a girl whom I have not met nor seen any hint of.
