Jane Eyre is an excellent autobiographical works. The heroine Jane had not beautiful appearance or a supple, graceful carriage, but she still attracted us deeply like the beauties of other works; Jane was born into an impoverished family and became an orphan, and then she was sent to Lowood Institution, living hard, but finally, she became a versatile Miss, having extraordinary temperament and getting Mr. Rochester’s deep love. How could common Jane become an uncommon female? One of the reasons is: Jane loved reading and learning and eagerly sought knowledge from them, finally she obtained the momentum of survival, growth and struggling for happiness and freedom.
