Sinopse

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte Jane Eyre (/ɛər/ AIR; originally published as Jane Eyre: An Autobiography) is a novel by English writer Charlotte Brontë, published under the pen name "Currer Bell", on 16 October 1847, by Smith, Elder & Co. of London. The first American edition was published the following year by Harper & Brothers of New York.

 Jane Eyre is a Bildungsroman which follows the experiences of its eponymous heroine, including her growth to adulthood and her love for Mr. Rochester, the brooding master of Thornfield Hall.

The novel revolutionised prose fiction by being the first to focus on its protagonist's moral and spiritual development through an intimate first-person narrative, where actions and events are coloured by a psychological intensity. Charlotte Brontë has been called the "first historian of the private consciousness", and the literary ancestor of writers like Proust and Joyce.

The book contains elements of social criticism with a strong sense of Christian morality at its core, and it is considered by many to be ahead of its time because of Jane's individualistic character and how the novel approaches the topics of class, sexuality, religion, and feminism. It, along with Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, is one of the most famous romance novels.

"What brings you to the land of the dead? asked Mortimer, the king of the grim reapers to his son another reaper called the Necromancer. 
"Don't be dramatic, it's just a morgue," said the Necromancer his son. 
"Did you come to visit your victims?" asked Mortimer, who was in human form like the Necromancer. 
"No, I came because I needed your help, Dad," said the Necromancer. 
Mortimer pushed up his glasses which were slipping down his perfect nose. 
Mortimer put his hands on his perfectly clean lab coat on his perfect hips looking curiously and defiantly at his son ready to rebuff the sharp verbal jab he expected from his son.
