Charlotte Bronte
It is in vain to say human beings
ought to be satisfied with tranquillity:
they must have action; and they will make it
if they cannot find it. Millions are condemned to
a stiller doom than mine, and millions are in
silent revolt against their lot….
Women are supposed to be very calm generally:
but women feel just as men feel;
they need exercise for their faculties,
and a field for their efforts,
as much as their brothers do;
they suffer from too rigid a restraint,
too absolute a stagnation, precisely as men would suffer;
and it is narrow-minded in their more privilege
fellow-creatures to say that they ought
to confine themselves to making puddings….
knitting stockings….playing on the piano….
It is thoughtless to condemn them, or laugh at them
if they seek to do more or learn more than
custom has pronounced necessary for their sex.-Ch. 12
As i begin writing this review my first view and impression go to Charles Dickens’ Oliwer Twist and a typical England workhouse attended by poor and miserable orphans,where uproar and laugh of children play in a sad surrounding that they even were not fully aware of.Such emotions relate me to the saga of Charlotte Bronte and her work,even he grew up in family environment, nurished by father and mother ,which after mother’s death followed by help of the aunt/sister of her mother/.Charlotte was a child of Dickens’ milieu,curious and smart,passionate of life and rich in feelings ,which could only be seen associated with twirl of madness,strangeness and passion beyond apprehension of average minds.Being born in mark of these previsions,Charlotte followed that lane to know the challenging call of love with a married man and experience destiny predicted before her birth, which had to get its expression in her works as well.
Some of that life juice she put into Jane Eyre ,much-loved novel by all generations that survived its time and longing to reach timeless.I felt stream of vibrations coming fromJane Eyre and all features she brings into life ,being so mindful and sensitive,with hidden torrent of strong emotions doomed to love in desperate circumstances and opposite to the time of their rising.As a governess with an appointment to Thornfield Manor,she lived her imagined landscape and a fairy tale house with ghosts,dwarfs,wizards and villa’s orb-all of which she dreamed in early childhood by fantasy of a lovely child arisen in whirl of mixed passions ,where God and Devil battled each other.She was lured by spice of ancient insoluble puzzles traveling during the centuries ,the vortex of which brought her to such a place to meet her love for the life:Edward Rochester.As in each true love they fell in love at first meeting,although as life dictates it realised much later.He found her in deep dedication to most serene feelings,loyalty, which seemed to him so bewitching since he was a squalid and crestfallen in own experienced strikes of life corresponding his age.That blind devotion he saw in her was the key for his love.What about her?Even ,she was brave to go toward the face of destiny,she wanted still a port to embrace her great love with no waves and suspicious unclearness;everything had to be pure and crystal clear,her emotions must meet only unconventional love.
Our desires are the one yet circles that take us and throw around make a bit different tide of happening.After discovering his mad wife,Jane fled from him, only to come back to him in his complicated condition after losing sight in rescue of own wife that killed in fire.
So, destiny is finally filled,came to the end,something from reality,some from upgraded imagination ,with answered and partly unanswered expectations and loves.But, i am sure in one;Charlotte met true love both in her real life and in beautiful narrated story about Jane Eyre.Why i am so sure?Because i know taste of love with so strong emotion and passion and know that has never been lost …never went in vain,tracks of brilliant filaments follow their path all along the eternity.

Short description/source Wikipedia
Jane Eyre is a first-person narrative of the title character, a small, plain-faced, intelligent and honest English orphan. The novel goes through five distinct stages: Jane’s childhood at Gateshead, where she is abused by her aunt and cousins; her education at Lowood School, where she acquires friends and role models but also suffers privations; her time as the governess of Thornfield Manor, where she falls in love with her Byronic employer, Edward Rochester; her time with the Rivers family at Marsh’s End (or Moor House) and Morton, where her cold clergyman-cousin St John Rivers proposes to her; and her reunion with and marriage to her beloved Rochester at his house of Ferndean. Partly autobiographical, the novel abounds with social criticism and sinister gothic elements.
