She was the third child of Patrick and Maria Bronte. When she was 5 years old, her mother passed away which cast a gloom over Bronte’s life. Fortunately, her father was a poor country priest but wealthy in knowledge. He taught his three daughters himself, such as reading, music, drawing and so on. Bronte sisters had loved literature from their father. Charlotte Bronte created many novels, poems and scripts in her adolescence. When she grown up, she worked as a teacher and home tutor under a foreign sky and these experiences accumulated a lot of material for her later writing. Jane Eyre is Charlotte Bronte’s best literary production which create a new woman image. Jane Eyre, the main character, was an orphan who was passed into the care of Mrs. Reed, the wife of her mother’s brother. After years of neglect and abuse, she was sent to a boarding school at a tender age of ten, where she received good education under severe condition. After her graduation, she got a position as a governess in Thornfield where she fell in love with her employer, Mr. Edward Rochester. At their wedding ceremony, Jane got to know that Mr. Rochester had a wife, a raving maniac locked in the house. In shock and grief, Jane left Thornfield quietly. Penniless and starving, she was saved and befriended by St. John Rivers and his two sisters, who turned out to be her cousins. St. John admired Jane and asked Jane to be his wife and assistant in his religious service. Feeling that she still cherished a deep love for Mr. Rochester, who seemed calling her in her dream, Jane refused his proposal and return to Thornfield, only to find it a blackened ruin. Mr. Rochester was blinded when he tried to rescue his mad wife, who set the house on fire. Jane went to him at once and there they got married.II. Jane’s Life-long PursuitA. Jane Eyre’
