After surviving a miserable childhood, Jane Eyre accepts a governess position at Thornfield hall, where she tutors a sprightly French girl, and gradually falls in love with the master of the house. Bertha attempts to destroy the "half-built nest" Jane and Rochester are constructing, first by lighting Rochester's bed on fire, then by tearing apart Jane's bridal veil, and most climactically, by destroying Thornfield Hall itself after Rochester's failed attempt at bigamy. |
