Notes

The love story of Jane Eyre is fraught with challenges primarily due to the stark  disparities between Jane, an orphaned governess of modest means, and Mr. Rochester, a wealthy and enigmatic landowner. Their love must grapple with the constraints of Mr. Rochester's hidden personal burdens, and moral dilemmas that test their commitment.

Additionally, Jane's unwavering principles and commitment to self-respect make her hesitant to compromise her integrity for love, making their relationship a constant tug-of-war between societal expectations and the depth of their emotions. These formidable obstacles, combined with the complexities of their characters, render their love story a compelling and arduous journey of self-discovery, sacrifice, and eventual redemption.
