description: Part Two Of Two PartspJane Eyre is an orphan child who knows only abuse and misery from her mistress. As a young girl she is sent off to boarding school where her good character and diligent habits win her friends and respect. In time Jane herself becomes a teacher in the school.pSeeking wider horizons, Jane takes employment at Thornfield where she comes under the spell of Edward Rochester, a man of savage temperament and desperate unhappiness. The reason for both is linked to a mysterious crone who is kept locked away on the third floor of the mansion.pCharlotte Bronte's work reveals a passionate nature stifled by the social constraints of her time. The love Jane bore for Edward is essentially that of the author speaking through lips that were not hers, words to a man she would never meet. This is one of the great romances of all time.
