Jane Eyre

"Jane, be still; don't struggle so like a wild, frantic bird, that is rending its own plumage in its desperation. I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being, with an independent will; which I now exert to leave you." ― Charlotte Bront , Jane Eyre Jane Eyre (1847) by Charlotte Bront recounts the life-story of Jane, a passionate and strong-willed girl.
