3. ‘Jane Eyre’ by Charlotte BrontëJane begins life with little money, few allies and an upbringing that teaches her how easily people in power can mistreat those without it. After working as a governess at Thornfield Hall, she falls in love with its brooding owner, Edward Rochester. But when Jane discovers a secret that threatens the future he has offered her, she faces a choice between the man she loves and the principles she refuses to abandon.Charlotte Brontë’s 1847 novel is a Gothic romance, but its emotional force comes from Jane’s insistence on her own worth. She wants love, companionship and a life beyond mere survival. What she does not want is to surrender her moral independence to secure them. Her refusal to accept a relationship on unequal terms remains one of the novel’s most powerful moments.Jane’s story also explores the vulnerability of women who have little financial or social protection. Her options are constrained by class and gender, yet she insists on being treated as a person with desires and convictions of her own. In contemporary conversations about boundaries, financial independence and unequal relationships, Jane’s determination to be loved without being diminished still resonates. (Sasha Mariposa)

1. Wuthering Heights (1847), by Emily BrontëEmily Brontë’s Gothic masterpiece is remembered for its tempestuous lovers, windswept moors, and tragic family drama. However, when creating her novel, Emily Brontë chose to open with a violent and terrifying ghostly encounter. In the opening of the novel, Lockwood (the narrator) spends the night in a forbidden bedroom after being caught in a storm. While there, he reads the name “Catherine” alongside “Earnshaw,” “Heathcliff,” and “Linton,” all carved into the wooden window frame.As he sleeps, he is awoken by a knocking on the window pane and, thinking it is a branch, reaches out to break it. The reader is then startled to read that Linton’s wrist is grasped by the ice-cold fingers of Cathy’s ghost. Her specter cries that she has been “a waif for twenty years.” The story inspired countless other works of fiction, including the song Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush. (Lauren Jones)
