In th
is t
imeless f
irst-
person narrat
ive, Jane Eyre -a small, pla
in-faced,
intell
igent and honest Engl
ish orphan- recounts her ch
ildhood and latter years lead
ing to her marr
iage to
the myster
ious Edward Rochester. What make
the story fast-paced, fasc
inat
ing, and ult
imately adm
irable are not
the mundane events and
inc
idents that happen to her, but
the manner
in wh
ich she tells
them. W
ith
in a few pages
it becomes obv
ious that
the narrator
is a character who
is a master of
the Engl
ish language. Her sentence openers are well thought out, well measured, and well balanced-a true founta
in of w
isdom.
In add

ion, Jane owns a boundless
imag
inat
ion, wh
ich coupled w
ith her lust for l
ife, w
ill get her to where she wants to go-but only after she exper
iences hurt, phys
ical abuse, and much suffer
ing.
