Her soul and body suffered painful torture, but she completed her studies with excellent grades with her strong will. In order to pursue an independent life, she was employed as a governess at Thornfield Manor. The focus of the story is the torturous love between Jane Eyre, a low-status tutor, and Rochester, the male protagonist. This love story is full of intense collisions due to the disparity in social status and personality between the male and female protagonists, and brilliant sparks burst out because the two have similar interests and sincere love for each other.

As the heroine of a love novel, Jane Eyre appears in this nineteenth-century literary work with an unprecedented female image. In the past, the heroines of love stories were all beautiful, gentle, noble and virtuous women. As for Jane Eyre, she was "poor, humble, unattractive, and short", but she possessed a wise, strong, and brave heart that made those external beauties eclipse in front of the inner beauty. What's even more valuable is that Jane Eyre does not feel inferior because of her poverty and appearance. On the contrary, she is brave and determined: "Your soul and I are equal." "I have the same soul as you - and I have exactly the same soul." "I am not talking to you now through customs, routines, or even flesh and blood - it is my soul talking to your soul, as if we have both passed away and we are together. Standing in front of God, equal to each other - just like we are!"
It is precisely because of this that Jane Eyre dares to love a man whose social class is much higher than hers, and she dares even more. Taking the initiative to express one's love to the other person - this was extremely bold in the society at that time. Happiness is no longer the exclusive property of a certain person or class; it belongs to everyone. Only two equal souls can form a complete love, so Jane Eyre insists that her own independence and the pursuit of complete love cannot be separated. Later, Jane Eyre left Rochester with grief. For the same reason, she could never allow herself to be combined with a married man. That would be an incomplete love. If she continues to stay with Rochester, she will not be the independent and equal Jane Eyre she was. If Jane Eyre's departure was a rational choice she had to make due to the unchangeable reality, then her final return was another rational choice she made out of her pursuit of feelings.
