What surprises in Jane Eyre is that not the story of young beautiful and intelligent girls who have some minor problems and eventually marry young beautiful people, smart and rich who terminate. First in "Jane Eyre" everyone is ugly. The top models (as Miss Ingram) have very minor roles and are abused by the author. Jane is small and frail and it is not particularly pretty. Rochester is, according to Jane herself ugly. Then when we have problems this is for real. Jane is an orphan, malaimée by his aunt, sent in a squalid boarding school and finds himself begging to try to survive. The fate sends superfluous wives and shoot down flaming beams to complete the protagonists. But, as Job, Jane did not lose courage.
The Gothic aspects of the book are often unnecessary and ridiculously grandiose. It could have happened to this mix. Characters are often talkative and have the gift of repetition. The third part is largely superfluous, adding characters and the money needed neither Jane nor history. But it is not really there for. "Jane Eyre" is above all the story of Jane Eyre, an orphan, and the determined entire character. An original and varied history.
