Jane Eyre and Charlotte Bronte For my literary paper I was given Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, one of my personal favorites. Charlotte was one of the famous trilogy of Bronte sisters born to parents Maria and Patrick Bronte. There were more siblings than the famous sisters, in fact there were 6 in total. Her father became incumbent of the Haworth Parsonage and this house became their home for the rest of their childhood and is now a museum dedicated to the Bronte's. When Charlotte was five years old her mother died, leaving all of the children to the care of their father.

In 1839 she took up the first of many positions as governess to families in Yorkshire, a career she pursued until 1841. Charlotte published many works, the first of which being The Professor. Because of the time period that Charlotte lived in, she took up the pen name Currer Bell to keep predjudice away from her work. Her two sisters, Emily and Anne, also took up the fictional surname Bell (Acton and Ellis) to publish their own works. The three sisters were widely successful in writing classics, most of which are household names
