Charlotte Bronte (21.04.1816 - 31.03.1855) - English novelist and poet.

Charlotte Bronte was a famous English novelist, poet and educator. She was born in a rather religious family on April 21st, 1816. Her father was a priest, who was later appointed as a vicar. Her mother died when she was still a child. Thus, Patrick Bronte was left alone to raise 6 children. As his wife died, he sent the girls to study at Cowan Bridge.

This place was later mentioned by Charlotte in her outstanding novel about Jane Eyre. The overall atmosphere at school was terrible, so the two of Bronte sisters fell seriously ill there. Soon Charlotte lost two more close relatives. Now she was left with two other sisters - Emily and Anne.

In fact, all three of them later became renowned writers. However the most glorious one was Charlotte. She began writing at a rather early age, to be precise, when she was only ten. All her early works were filled with inexistent Byronic colonies found in Africa. Poetry was definitely her cup of tea.

After graduating from high school Charlotte stayed and worked there as an educator, i.e. a teacher of English. Her aunt supported the sisters with some money, which they spent on their French education. In 1838 they moved to Brussels to study French and at the same time they had the opportunity to teach there.

At some point Charlotte had to return, as her aunt had died. Later her teaching experience was fully retold in one of her novels. After returning she lived in the family estate taking care of her elderly father. At the same time she ran a boarding house and worked on the new novels. In 1846 her sisters sold their works “Agnes Grey” and “Wuthering Heights” to English publishers, but Charlotte’s novel was turned down.

For that reason she started promoting her “Jane Eyre” novel which gained an immediate fame and success. However, the writer’s happiness didn’t last. Soon, her brother died of tuberculosis. Two of her favourite sisters followed him. Basically, she was left alone. Under the influence of heavy stress she agreed to marry the local priest A. B. Nicholls. It happened in 1854. Shortly after the wedding she fell ill. At first doctors diagnosed her with pregnancy.

In fact, she was ill and the state of her health was quickly deteriorating. At that time she was working on her new novel “Emma” which stayed unfinished. Charlotte died in 1855 when she was only thirty-eight. Two years later, on Patrick Bronte’s request E. Gaskell, who was Charlotte’s recent friend, wrote her full biography, based on the letters to Ellen Nassi.

Jane Eyre begins at Gateshead Hall, where a young orphan named Jane Eyre lives with her aunt, Mrs. Reed, and three cousins. Though Jane’s relations are wealthy, they are incredibly cruel and never let her forget that she only avoids poverty through their charity. As the relationship between Jane and the Reeds deteriorates, Mrs. Reed decides to send Jane away to Lowood school. Before Jane leaves, Mrs. Reed warns Mr. Brocklehurst (the manager of Lowood) that Jane is a liar, and he promises not to forget it. Offended by her aunt’s deceit, Jane vows never to forgive her.

The conditions at Lowood are very harsh. Mr. Brocklehurst is cruel and hypocritical, forcing the students to remain humble by making their own clothes and sharing beds while his own daughters live in luxury. The girls are given meager portions of often inedible food, and the school itself is freezing. Despite these difficulties, Jane manages to find a friend in Helen Burns, a fellow student. When Helen later dies during a typhus outbreak at the school, Jane is devastated. After the typhus epidemic, the unsanitary and grim condition of the school is publicly revealed, and Lowood is put under new management. Jane stays at the school for six more years as a student and two years as a teacher before setting off for a new job as a governess at Thornfield Hall.

At Thornfield, Jane’s pupil is a young French girl named Adèle. Adèle is the ward of Mr. Edward Rochester, the often-absent owner of Thornfield. When Jane finally meets Mr. Rochester, she is intrigued by his quirky personality and blunt way of speaking. Likewise, Mr. Rochester is fascinated by Jane’s honesty and strong convictions. Strange events occur during Jane’s stay at Thornfield: eerie laughs can be heard at night, a mysterious fire is started, and a guest is even stabbed. Mr. Rochester begins to court a local beauty named Blanche Ingram, upsetting Jane, who now recognizes that she has feelings for him. Jane briefly returns to Gateshead to visit the dying Mrs. Reed and learns that she has an uncle, John Eyre, who is looking for her. To Jane’s surprise, shortly after she returns to Thornfield, Mr. Rochester proposes to her rather than Miss Ingram. Their wedding is interrupted, however, by a man who claims that Mr. Rochester is already married. Jane is horrified to learn that Mr. Rochester’s wife, Bertha, is mad and kept locked up in the attic of Thornfield. Despite Mr. Rochester’s pleas for her to stay, Jane secretly flees Thornfield in the night.

Jane wanders for several days until, nearly starving, she is taken in by St. John Rivers and his two sisters. Jane gets along well with the sisters and is slightly intimidated by St. John. Soon, it is revealed that Jane’s uncle has died and left Jane a fortune. She splits this evenly between herself and the Rivers family-who she has recently discovered are her cousins. St. John urges Jane to marry him and come to India as a missionary’s wife, but Jane, knowing he does not actually love her, refuses. After hearing Mr. Rochester’s voice on the wind, Jane takes it as a sign and decides to visit Thornfield.

When Jane arrives at Thornfield, she is shocked to see that the hall is merely a charred ruin. A local innkeeper tells her that Bertha Rochester got loose one evening and set the hall on fire before leaping from the roof to her death. Mr. Rochester took great pains to rescue everyone in the house and, as a result, lost his hand and his eyesight. Jane goes to visit Mr. Rochester and they reconcile. Jane and Mr. Rochester marry, and his eyesight gradually recovers enough that he can see their firstborn son.

Происхождение

Шарлотта Бронте родилась 21 апреля 1816 года. Она посещала школу Клержи для девочек в Ланкашире в 1824. Однако в следующем году она вернулась домой из-за суровых условий и после смерти двух ее сестер. В 1831 она пошла в школу в Ро Хэд, где позже работала учителем. Однако она заболела, страдала от меланхолии, и ей пришлось оставить эту должность. Шарлотта пыталась работать гувернанткой, но всем ее попыткам мешала застенчивость, ее неосведомленность о детях и стремление быть с сестрами.

Переезд в Брюссель

В 1842 Шарлотта поехала со своей сестрой Эмили в Брюссель, чтобы изучать французский, немецкий и менеджмент. Она провела там менее двух лет, а когда вернулась домой, страдала от сильной ипохондрии.

В 1846 три сестры – Шарлотта, Эмили и Анна опубликовали книгу Поэм, и хотя уровень продаж был очень низким, отзывы были хорошими. Роман Шарлотты Профессор был совсем неудачным.

Роман Джейн Эйр

В августе 1846 Шарлотта начала работать над романом Джейн Эйр, который был опубликован только в октябре 1847 и незамедлительно стал популярным. Шарлотта посвятила эту книгу Уильяму Мэйкпису Теккерею, который описал ее как «шедевр великого гения». Героиня Джейн Эйр – безденежная сирота, которая становится учительницей, получает должность гувернантки, наследует деньги от отца и затем выходит замуж. Шарлотта использовала свой личный опыт обучения в евангельской школе и работы гувернанткой.

Смерть близких

В 1848 и 1849 годах брат Шарлотты и ее сестра Анна умерли. Горе Шарлотты отражено в последней трети романа Ширли, над которым она работала в то время. Главная героиня книги – независимая, смелая и откровенная женщина.

Замужество и кончина

Charlotte Bronte

Background

Charlotte Brontë was born 21 April 1816. She attended Clergy Daughter’s School in Lancashire in 1824. However, she returned home next year because of the harsh conditions and the death of her two sisters. In 1831 she went to school at Roe Head, where she later worked as a teacher. However, she fell ill, suffered from melancholia, and gave up this post. Charlotte tried to work as a governess but her attempts were hindered by her shyness, her ignorance of normal children, and her yearning to be with her sisters.

Brussels

In 1842, Charlotte travelled to Brussels with Emily to learn French, German, and management. She spent less than two years there and when she came back home she suffered from severe hypochondria.

First works

In 1846 the three sisters – Charlotte, Emily and Ann published a book of Poems, and though sales were very slow, the reviews were quite good. Charlotte’s novel The Professor wasn’t successful at all.

Jane Eyre

In August of 1846 Charlotte began to work on Jane Eyre, which was published only in October, 1847 and immediately became popular. Charlotte dedicated the book to William Makepeace Thackeray, who described it as «the masterwork of a great genius». The heroine of Jane Eyre is a penniless orphan who becomes a teacher, obtains a post as a governess, inherits money from an uncle, and then marries. In this book Charlotte used her experiences at the Evangelical school and as governess.

Close ones dying

In the years of 1848 and 1849 Charlotte’s brother and her sister Ann died. Charlotte’s grief was reflected in the last third of the novel Shirley, which she had been working on at that time. The main character of the book is an independent, brave and outspoken woman.

Marriage and death

In 1854 Charlotte Bronte married her father’s curate, Arthur Bell Nicholls. She died during her pregnancy on March 31, 1855.

The novel begins with the titular character, Jane Eyre, aged 10, living with her maternal uncle’s family, the Reeds, as a result of her uncle’s dying wish. It is several years after her parents died of typhus. Mr. Reed, Jane’s uncle, was the only one in the Reed family who was kind to Jane. Jane’s aunt, Sarah Reed, dislikes her, treats her as a burden, and discourages her children from associating with Jane. Mrs. Reed and her three children are abusive to Jane, physically, emotionally, and, as the reader is quick to realize, spiritually. The nursemaid Bessie proves to be Jane’s only ally in the household, even though Bessie sometimes harshly scolds Jane. Excluded from the family activities, Jane is incredibly unhappy, with only a doll and books in which to find solace.

One day, after her cousin John knocks her down and she attempts to defend herself, Jane is locked in the red room where her uncle died; there, she faints from panic after she thinks she has seen his ghost. She is subsequently attended to by the kindly apothecary, Mr. Lloyd, to whom Jane reveals how unhappy she is living at Gateshead Hall. He recommends to Mrs. Reed that Jane should be sent to school, an idea Mrs. Reed happily supports. Mrs. Reed then enlists the aid of the harsh Mr. Brocklehurst, director of Lowood Institution, a charity school for girls. Mrs. Reed cautions Mr. Brocklehurst that Jane has a «tendency for deceit», which he interprets as her being a «liar». Before Jane leaves, however, she confronts Mrs. Reed and declares that she’ll never call her «aunt» again, that Mrs. Reed and her daughter, Georgiana, are the ones who are deceitful, and that she’ll tell everyone at Lowood how cruelly Mrs. Reed treated her.

At Lowood Institution, a school for poor and orphaned girls, Jane soon finds that life is harsh, but she attempts to fit in and befriends an older girl, Helen Burns, who is able to accept her punishment philosophically. During a school inspection by Mr. Brocklehurst, Jane accidentally breaks her slate, thereby drawing attention to herself. He then stands her on a stool, brands her a liar, and shames her before the entire assembly. Jane is later comforted by her friend, Helen. Miss Temple, the caring superintendent, facilitates Jane’s self-defence and writes to Mr. Lloyd, whose reply agrees with Jane’s. Jane is then publicly cleared of Mr. Brocklehurst’s accusations.

The 80 pupils at Lowood are subjected to cold rooms, poor meals, and thin clothing. Many students fall ill when a typhus epidemic strikes, and Jane’s friend Helen dies of consumption in her arms. When Mr. Brocklehurst’s maltreatment of the students is discovered, several benefactors erect a new building and install a sympathetic management committee to moderate Mr. Brocklehurst’s harsh rule. Conditions at the school then improve dramatically.

The name Lowood symbolizes the «low» point in Jane’s life where she was maltreated. Helen Burns is a representation of Charlotte’s elder sister Maria, who died of tuberculosis after spending time at a school where the children were mistreated.

After six years as a student and two as a teacher at Lowood, Jane decides to leave, like her friend and confidante Miss Temple, who recently married. She advertises her services as a governess and receives one reply, from Alice Fairfax, housekeeper at Thornfield Hall. Jane takes the position, teaching Adèle Varens, a young French girl.

One night, while Jane is walking to a nearby town, a horseman passes her. The horse slips on ice and throws the rider. Despite the rider’s surliness, Jane helps him to get back onto his horse. Later, back at Thornfield, she learns that this man is Edward Rochester, master of the house. Adèle is his ward, left in his care when her mother abandoned her.

At Jane’s first meeting with him within Thornfield, Mr. Rochester teases her, accusing her of bewitching his horse to make him fall. He also talks strangely in other ways, but Jane is able to give as good as she gets. Mr. Rochester and Jane soon come to enjoy each other’s company, and spend many evenings together.

Odd things start to happen at the house, such as a strange laugh, a mysterious fire in Mr. Rochester’s room (from which Jane saves Rochester by rousing him and throwing water on him and the fire), and an attack on a house guest of Rochester’s, a Mr. Mason. Then Jane receives word that her aunt Mrs. Reed is calling for her, after suffering a stroke because her unruly son John has died in sad circumstances. Jane returns to Gateshead and remains there for a month, attending to her dying aunt. As she lies dying, Mrs. Reed confesses to Jane that she has wronged her, and gives Jane a letter from Jane’s paternal uncle, Mr. John Eyre, in which he asks for her to live with him and be his heir. Mrs. Reed admits to telling Mr. Eyre that Jane had died of fever at Lowood. Soon afterward, Jane’s aunt dies, and Jane helps her cousins after the funeral before returning to Thornfield.

Back at Thornfield, Jane broods over Mr. Rochester’s rumoured impending marriage to the beautiful and talented, but snobbish and heartless, Blanche Ingram. However, one midsummer evening, Rochester baits Jane by saying how much he will miss her after getting married, but how she will soon forget him. There then follows one of the most stirring speeches in the whole book, when the normally self-controlled Jane opens her heart to him. Rochester is then sure that Jane is sincerely in love with him, and he proposes marriage. Jane is at first sceptical of his sincerity, but eventually believes him and gladly agrees to marry him. She then writes to her Uncle John, telling him of her happy news.

As she prepares for her wedding, Jane’s forebodings arise when a strange, savage-looking woman sneaks into her room one night and rips her wedding veil in two. As with the previous mysterious events, Mr. Rochester attributes the incident to Grace Poole, one of his servants. During the wedding ceremony, Mr. Mason and a lawyer declare that Mr. Rochester cannot marry because he is still married to Mr. Mason’s sister, Bertha. Mr. Rochester admits this is true but explains that his father tricked him into the marriage for her money. Once they were united, he discovered that she was rapidly descending into madness, and so he eventually locked her away in Thornfield, hiring Grace Poole as a nurse to look after her. When Grace gets drunk, his wife escapes and causes the strange happenings at Thornfield.

It turns out that Jane’s uncle, Mr. John Eyre, is a friend of Mr. Mason’s and was visited by him soon after Mr. Eyre received Jane’s letter about her impending marriage. After the marriage ceremony is broken off, Mr. Rochester asks Jane to go with him to the south of France, and live with him as husband and wife, even though they cannot be married. Refusing to go against her principles, and despite her love for him, Jane leaves Thornfield in the middle of the night.

Jane travels as far from Thornfield as she can using the little money she had previously saved. She accidentally leaves her bundle of possessions on the coach and has to sleep on the moor, and unsuccessfully attempts to trade her handkerchief and gloves for food. Exhausted and hungry, she eventually makes her way to the home of Diana and Mary Rivers, but is turned away by the housekeeper. She collapses on the doorstep, preparing for her death. St. John Rivers, Diana and Mary’s brother and a clergyman, saves her. After she regains her health, St. John finds Jane a teaching position at a nearby village school. Jane becomes good friends with the sisters, but St. John remains aloof.

The sisters leave for governess jobs, and St. John becomes somewhat closer to Jane. St. John learns Jane’s true identity and astounds her by telling her that her uncle, John Eyre, has died and left her his entire fortune of 20,000 pounds (equivalent to over £1.3 million in 2011 ). When Jane questions him further, St. John reveals that John Eyre is also his and his sisters’ uncle. They had once hoped for a share of the inheritance but were left virtually nothing. Jane, overjoyed by finding that she has living and friendly family members, insists on sharing the money equally with her cousins, and Diana and Mary come back to Moor House to live.

Proposals

Thinking Jane will make a suitable missionary’s wife, St. John asks her to marry him and to go with him to India, not out of love, but out of duty. Jane initially accepts going to India but rejects the marriage proposal, suggesting they travel as brother and sister. As soon as Jane’s resolve against marriage to St. John begins to weaken, she mysteriously hears Mr. Rochester’s voice calling her name. Jane then returns to Thornfield to find only blackened ruins. She learns that Mr. Rochester’s wife set the house on fire and committed suicide by jumping from the roof. In his rescue attempts, Mr. Rochester lost a hand and his eyesight. Jane reunites with him, but he fears that she will be repulsed by his condition. «Am I hideous, Jane?», he asks. “Very, sir: you always were, you know”, she replies. When Jane assures him of her love and tells him that she will never leave him, Mr. Rochester again proposes, and they are married. He eventually recovers enough sight to see their first-born son.
