The novel begins when Jane was a dependant child who was in the care of her cruel aunt and cousins who did not love her. Jane was then sent to Lowood school where the conditions were extremely poor but was still able to make friends and carry on her education and as she grows into adulthood, she is brought unto staff at Thornfield Manor under the mysterious Mr Rochester, in order to govern Adele.
