Orphan Jane Eyre is plain, quiet, and reserved on the surface. But the book entitled with her name, Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte, takes the characterization of Jane and her quest for happiness beyond the surface. She faces hardships at every stage of life: her aunt and benefactress is verbally abusive, her only friend at school dies in her arms, and once she becomes a governess the man she loves toys with her affections before showing his true feelings. Written from Jane's perspective in the formal style of 19th century England, Jane Eyre is a highly entertaining read which I would recommend for both lovers and haters of the classics.
