I am writing you to inform you about the wonderful literary novel Jane Eyre, written by the great Charlotte Bronte. She writes with such detail during the scenes of pain, that gives the reader insight into the life of Bronte. She must have gone through something similar or studied it thoroughly. The compliance to John Reed and Mrs. Reed's brutality is without a doubt empowered by a youth of pain and suffering. I believe that Bronte experienced the same "noble" revenge such as Jane gives to Mrs. Reed before she left for Lowood. I also trust that Bronte had been in a boarding school of some sort to be able to describe in such detail a place such as Lowood.
             Although I feel I must admit that I was not enthused to read this novel at first, for these long drawn out dramas from the Victorian age are not my cup of tea. Nevertheless, as I began to investigate further, I found that my premature speculations didn't ring true for this novel. It was very deep in comparison to the others I had experienced. As I read the Cinderella story at the beginning, I was already dreading when the unrealistic fairy godmother would rescue her and all would be happy again. Yet, to my surprise the nurse was just as harsh and strict as Mrs. Reed, but at the same time a hero at heart. One thing I did not quite understand from the novel was, why did Jane fear the ghost of her uncle? He was the only person who had empathy for her. After all that she endured wouldn't she plead for such a ghost, some form of escape from her otherwise lonely existence? Maybe I just expect too much from small children who really cannot grasp concepts of adults. I just assumed that being in her situations that she really hasn't had a childhood and therefore has grown up quickly.
             One thing I really did enjoy was the pacing of the first sections of the novel. The audience is given a chance to get to know Jane and not tire
