Literature Talk: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
Lincoln Drill Hall
Tiny Charlotte longed for a life where she would be recognised and in the character of the already married Rochester, she created the sort of hero she wanted for herself. In many ways the plot is the archetypal ‘Mills and Boon’: poor plain girl gets rich handsome man, and blossoms in the process. But it is so much more than its plot.
