Jane Eyre, set in England, in the early 19th century, begins with the death of Jane's parents after her father, a pastor working in an urban slum, is exposed to typhus. Jane goes to live with her only known relative, Mrs. Reed, the widow of her maternal uncle. Mrs. Reed and her children, however, have little use for the orphan Jane and treat her with open contempt. When Jane rebels against their ill treatment, she is sent away to Lowood, a nightmarish charity school run by the tyrannical Mr. Brocklehurst.
Eventually, Jane escapes Lowood, taking a position at Thornfield Hall where she serves as governess to Adèle Varennes, the young ward of the absent master of Thornfield, Edward Rochester. One winter's night, Jane encounters Rochester, returning home. The two are immediately drawn to one another. But as Jane grows to love Rochester, she begins to suspect that the house and its master harbour a dark secret.
