The novel explores themes of class, gender, morality, and the quest for self-respect, all set against meticulously crafted settings that evoke the stark realities of the period. Charlotte Bront√´, born in 1816 in a secluded Yorkshire parsonage, drew upon her own experiences of isolation and hardship when creating Jane Eyre.

Charlotte'Äôs desire to confront the limitations placed upon women and her yearning for personal independence resonate deeply within Jane's character, illuminating the broader struggles of women in a patriarchal society. "Jane Eyre" is a timeless classic that transcends its historical context.
