Throughout the novel, Jane Eyre, we watch a young girl grow into a strong, independent woman. When we are first introduced to Jane, she is a young girl who has been orphaned and sent to live with her aunt. She seems to of lost everything. Even with the fact that she has lost something so incredibly dear to her, her family, the extended family she goes to live with, only hurts her more. She is tormented and made fun of by not only her cousins, but the help as well. Jane’s pretty much stinks. Then, her aunt sends her to a boarding school for orphaned girls, which seems like it would be bad, but this is where she begins to have some gains in her life. While there, she meets a good friend and helpful teacher. It really helps get her through some tough times. She finds a job working for a kind man named, Mr. Rochester. Things seem to be going great; she even falls in love with him! She seems to be gaining and gaining, and has certainly made a great life for herself, considering the time period. Then comes the next loss; MR. ROCHESTER IS MARRIED (Bronte 379). This hurts Jane deeply, and she leaves. Luckily, she realizes his love for her, and the eventually get together and marry. All in all, Jane seemed to make an awesome life for herself. She’s strong, intelligent, and independent. Go her!
