Help, please... if you have NOT read Jane Eyre.

[mer]

...Or, if you remember what you thought it was about before you read it.

Those of you who have not read Jane Eyre, nor seen the movie, could you summarize in the comments for me what you think the book is about... with specifics regarding plot... and what your occupation is? And how/what other Victorian literature you have read instead?

I realize this is a weird request, but it's research for a book. I promise.


When I asked my husband the question, he said, "It's about women. And there's yammering. Because they can't marry who they want to marry." He's a computer guy. I couldn't even guess what Victorian literature he's read, but I'd suspect it's like one work of Dickens forced on him in school.

Oh, hey, I didn't see the rest of your questions. I am a teacher. I've probably read a couple of Jane Austens (Seen movies), Dickens, and I tried so hard to read Lady Chatterly's lover, but I never got past the first chapter. I am sure there are other things... But everything else I am coming up with right now is probably American. (Scarlet Letter, Great Gatsby (which I hated)?)
