Jane Eyre: A Problem

Problems and sorrows should have been Jane Eyre’s middle name. Her whole life in Gateshead, she suffered with an unloving aunt and a violent cousin. Finally causing her to retaliate after much abuse, she is sent to a poorly maintained boarding school. You could say that her life started getting better after arriving at the school. Although one problem that she faced in the school was being lied about in front of the whole school by a respected figure. She was young and did not understand why that had to happen to her. Yet her friend Helen Burns helped her understand that it did not matter what people thought of her because it wasn’t true, and all she needed to do was prove them wrong and do what was right in the eyes of God.
