Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë Donate: ActingforaCause.org @acting4acause Jane Eyre is the classic tale of a woman's relationship with authority and love. We follow her as she grows up in an abusive situation, moves on to work for the moody and mysterious Mr. Rochester, falls in love with him, finds out he is already married, moves in with St. John and his sisters, inherits a large sum of money, receives a proposal from St. John, and moves back to find Rochester's wife is dead and he is badly injured.
