After some time, she gradually falls in love with Mr. Rochester and longs to marry him. Mr. Rochester also has deep feelings for Jane Eyre, but he has a secret that he cannot reveal. It is this secret that throws them both into a painful abyss. The author portrays Jane Eyre as the representative of lower-class British women, with deep affection, depicting her stubborn and upright character, her courage to resist, her fearlessness of oppression, as well as her conscious awareness of gender equality and her noble sentiments of loyalty to love. Through "romantic imagery," the realistic story becomes even more touching. Charlotte Bront? (1816-1855) was a British female writer and the sister of Emily Bront?, the author of Wuthering Heights. Jane Eyre is her masterpiece and a world-famous novel.
