My name is Jane Eyre and this is the the story of my life.
It was the 1830s and I was living in thornfield hall, a big house in the country.
It was my first job and I was a teacher, teacher a young French girl.
The owner of the house, Mr. Rochester, was looking after the girl.
But I had not met the owner yet, as he was usually abroad.
My life was good at thornfield hall. I spent my days with the servants who were all friendly.
Only grace Poole, who sewed in the attic, was quiet and cold.
Strange shouts and cries often came from her room at the top of the house.
That night I woke up and heard a laugh outside my room.
I got up and looked outside the door.
I saw smoke was coming from Mr. Rochester room.
I went in and saw that his bed was on fire.
I quickly put water on the fire and it went out.
"Thank you, Jane," said Mr. Rochester.
"You have saved my life." I began to love master.
That week Mr. Rochester had a visitor a handsome man called Richard mason.
In the night I heard a scream and ran up to his room.
Mr. Rochester was with him.
Richard mason face was scratched and covered in blood.
Mr. Rochester asked me to clean his cuts.
Then he told me to keep my door locked at night.
Later that summer, I was in the garden and Mr. Rochester joined me.
I was very surprised when he asked me to marry him.
I said yes .we planned our wedding and soon it was my wedding day.
When we were standing in the church
A stranger called out, "they cannot get married.
Because Mr. Rochester already has wife "Mr. Rochester asked the man who he was.
"I am a lawyer for Richard mason, "he said."Mr. Rochester is married to Richard mason sister."
"It is true, "said Mr. Rochester.
"But I she is not the woman I married.
I want you all to see her.
"He took us back to thornfield hall.
We went to the attic room at the top of the house.
Grace Poole opened the door for us,
And behind her was a wild woman, making noises like an animal.
When the woman saw Mr. Rochester, she jumped on him and tried to scratch him like a cat.
It took three people to get her off.
So this was why Richard mason was scratched.
"This woman, "said Mr. Rochester "is my wife.
She is completely mad.
And this lovely girl, "he said, pointing to me, 'is the girl I want to marry."
Later, Mr. Rochester told me that his parents had arranged the marriage with Richard mason sister because her family was rich.
He did not know she was mad then.
He had to get grace Poole to look after her, and he had to go away to find happiness.
Then he met me and found happiness at home once more.
He asked me to stay at thornfield hall, but I knew I had to leave.
I got job as a teacher at a school in a different village.
I found out that I had inherited a large sum of money from my uncle.
I was then rich.
The man who gave me the job, Mr. St. John Rivers, asked me to marry him. I did not love him, but thought perhaps it was the best thing for me.
But suddenly I heard a voice calling "Jane "it was the voice of the man I loved, Edward Rochester.
I told Mr. St. John Rivers that I had to leave.
It was a long journey back to thornfield hall but felt very happy when I walked into its beautiful garden.
But I was shocked to see that thornfield hall was a ruin, with no roof.
I went to the nearest village and asked a shopkeeper: "what has happened to thornfield hall?"
The shopkeeper told me the sad story: "the mad women in the attic started a fire.
Mr. Rochester saved the servants, but then saw the mad women.
He ran back inside to save her too, but when he was inside, she jumped from the window and died.
The fire was very big and the roof collapsed.
The servants pulled Mr. Rochester from the burning house, but he was badly burned and he cannot see.
The shopkeeper told me that Mr. Rochester moved to live with some servants at a small house nearby,
So I borrowed a horse and rode there.
The servant, Mary, opened the door and recognized me.
She asked me in.
"Let me take his food to him," I said .i took a tray of food and went into the living room.
Mr. Rochester was standing by the fire. He looked very sad.
"Ah, give me some water, Mary, "he said.
"Mary's in the kitchen," I replied.
"Jane!" he cried.
"This is my dream.
But a woman like you will not want to be with a blind man like me!"
I explained how I wanted to make him happy.
"One day when I was in the garden, "he said," I called your name.
I thought I heard your voice answer".
I told him that I had heard his voice, too.
Edward Rochester and I soon married. My husband was completely blind for two years, then one day he asked,
"Are you wearing a blue dress today, Jane?"
I was delighted .Edward could soon see, and he was better when our first son was born.
We are now very happy together.
