Jane Eyre

Charlotte Brontë

About this resource

Read Chapter I from the bad weather to Jane reading alone behind the curtain. Stop before John enters. Compare her exclusion from the fireside family group with the refuge she creates in the window-seat. Notice how the book’s landscapes stimulate her imagination without removing her difficult position in the household.
