Remembering
Charlotte Bronte's -Jane Eyre
What an autobiography, what hypnotic novel !
An orphan girl Jane, suffering in the Red Room,
The ghost of Uncle Reed frightens her.
Then the horrors at Lawwood Institution, Mr Brocklehurst,
A great friend Helen Burns appears as Hope.
Learns a lot for 8 years under Maria Temple,
Hired by Mr Rochester's as daughter's Governess.
Teaching Adel well and saving Rochester's life,
Silent love for Rochester and jealousy of Blanche.
Drama within the drama but agrees to marry Rochester.
Lunacy of Bertha Mason and Jane's painful exodus,
Helping hands of St. John Rivers, Mary and Diana.
Proposal of cousin John for india visit as his wife,
Feels as if Rochester is calling her and she runs.
Thornfield's Horrible fire by Bertha all's set ablaze,
Lost eyes and a hand Rochester is broke.
How greatly Jane stands by him as a protagonist.
A magnus opus Victorian Novel, a Lady of Self Will.
Struggle of a woman, self respect and surviving Hope....
