JANE EYRE
Jane, orphaned and poor, managed with infinite difficulty to study and now works as a governess in the castle of Mr. Rochester, an apparently abrupt and unfriendly man, father of a little girl.
A great love is born between the two, but on their wedding day Jane discovers that Rochester's mad wife, believed by all to be dead, lives locked up in the attic of the castle.
Desperate Jane runs away and is taken in by Reverend Rivers, who helps her find serenity and offers her a teaching position in a school for girls.
When Jane is about to marry the reverend before he leaves for India as a missionary, one night it seems to her that Rochester calls her. She searches for him and learns that he was blinded trying to save his wife in the fire that destroyed the castle.
Jane manages with her love to give him back the joy of living and, thus purified, Jane and Rochester can start their lives anew.
