description: Married life was sheer torture for Jane. She never wanted a husband in the first placeespecially not so soon after the loss of her beloved parents. However social norms in nineteenth century England dictated that a young beautiful heiress needed to have a handsome successful man by her side. That was the picture perfect depiction of 19th century England.Hirsh has acted out many personas in her life but the one of loyal discreet servant was by far the toughest act she ever had to portray. It mightve been easier had she not been head over heels in love with the tragic young woman who also happened to be her employer. For survivals sake she donned the cloak of discretion and submission even though her very nature rebelled violently against the injustice playing out before her eyes.
