Perhaps the plot of the novel may be a bit outdated for today, but it is really shocking for that era to be written like this.

"Jane Eyre" Book Review: The Eternal Hymn of the Independent Soul "Jane Eyre" is not a love novel in the traditional sense, but a "declaration of self-awakening" written from a female perspective. Through the character of Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte broke the stereotype of "weak and dependent" women in 19th century literature, and used her life trajectory to interpret the spiritual core of "personality independence above all else". Jane Eyre's charm never lies in her appearance or identity, but in her "uncompromising" from beginning to end. When she was a child, she faced the oppression of her aunt and the boarding school. She refused to swallow her words; as an adult, she dared to tell Rochester that "our souls are equal" and did not lower her attitude because of class differences; when she found out that Rochester was married, she chose to leave even though she was deeply in love, adhering to the bottom line of morality and personality. This sobriety of "keeping true to one's heart despite millions of temptations" is the core of the character's appeal even after hundreds of years. The love line of the novel also serves the theme of "independence". The union of Jane Eyre and Rochester is not the cliché of "saving and being saved", but the equal embrace of two souls after going through hardships: Rochester lost his arrogance due to blindness, while Jane Eyre gained financial independence through self-struggle, and finally came together as a "complete person". This value of "be yourself first, then embrace love" still provides spiritual resonance for modern women. Even today in the 21st century, the significance of "Jane Eyre" is still fresh. It reminds everyone that true dignity never comes from external conferment, but from the inner firm pursuit of equality, freedom and self-worth - this is the eternal power of this classic literary work across time and space.
