Question

Write about two things you know about Jane Eyre.

(From The Chapter *Fire* by Charlotte Brontë)​

Answer 1

Answer:

LIKE JANE EYRE, CHARLOTTE BRONTË WORKED AS A GOVERNESS.

Jane Eyre was a provincial girl hired to work as a governess among strangers. So was Charlotte Brontë. In 1839, the wealthy Sidgwick family employed Brontë to live in their country estate and educate their children. She hated the job, writing, “I had charge given me of a set of pampered, spoilt, turbulent children, whom I was expected constantly to amuse, as well as to instruct.” She became depressed and withdrawn, causing Mrs. Sidgwick to scold her.
