Charlotte Brontë’s book has been adapted for film many times and recognized as one of the best. Its popularity is due to its intricately constructed text. Gothic and romantic at the same time, the novel hides its depth behind a sentimental plot. But the main reason for lasting interest is Jane Eyre herself. Charlotte Brontë gave her a free-spirited, progressive character, ahead of its time. All this makes “Jane Eyre” a must-read.
