Jane Eyre Question 6

Although Jane Eyre was written by Charlotte Bronte in 1847, it is still read by many people today. I found it entertaining and interesting. What I found interesting was the messages and characters. The timeless message in Jane Eyre is that good things come to those who wait and never give up. This message explains Jane Eyre's life. As a child, Jane was sent to live at her aunt's house because her parents died. While living there, she struggled to fit in and feel loved. All she wanted was to feel like someone actually cared about her. She did meet a few people that loved her and they were: Bessie, Helen Burns, and Mrs. Temple. She waited and waited and finally she met someone that loved Jane for who she was. That person was Mr. Rochester. What was so timeless about the characters was that people go through the same stuff in life as Jane did. The two biggest issues both Jane and many people have are love and money. Jane spent her whole life waiting to feel loved by someone. Many people do the same thing. Because Jane was from the lower class, she didn't have a lot of money, so she spent sometime sleeping outside and eating very little. It's very sad to know that so many people are homeless and are starving, but it is just a way of life. From this we can learn that i we keep faith and hope, things will turn out.
