Introduction
Charlotte Brontë’s eponymous heroine has rightfully been an inspiration to readers for almost 200 years. Jane Eyre’s fiercely independent and intelligent nature guided her to make important decisions that would ultimately lead to her deservedly happy ending. The reader thrills to follow Jane’s adventures from her unloved upbringing at Gateshead Hall and her education at Lowood, to her tumultuous romance with the master of Thornfield, and her attainment of family, fortune, independence, and love by the end of the story.
Yet, it is interesting to think of the decisions that might have gone awry for Jane, and if the reader would have chosen the same. The Governess of Thornfield enables the reader to take Jane’s place as they are dropped into Mrs. Reed’s household at Gateshead Hall as an unwanted and outcast orphan girl. Will you survive Mrs. Reed's mistreatment? Will you save Helen Burns from the illness that plagues her? Will you fall in love with Mr. Rochester and discover his terrible secret? Take care in making your decisions because the effects it can have on your own story could be deadly.
Through this book, you can follow the twists and turns of Charlotte Brontë’s beloved novel and discover if you can navigate the pitfalls of love, temptation, and despair as successfully as Jane Eyre and realize your own happy ending.
