Answer 1

Answer:

All of the above.

Explanation:

Charlotte Bronte's classic "Jane Eyre" revolves around the story of a young girl named Jane Eyre, an orphan who suffered a lot during her childhood but became independent and found love and happiness in the end. The whole story deals with the theme of love, suffering, life's struggles, and the eventual happiness that comes.

The opening chapters of the novel present a young Jane living with her Aunt Reed and her children who treated her nothing more than a servant ("you are less than a servant, for you do nothing for your keep") or a hindrance. She was asked to address her cousin John Reed as "Master Reed", was punished for whatever claims they can find and get, and locked up whenever she showed any form of resistance. She also stated "I was a discord in Gateshead Hall: I was like nobody there", showing how unpleasant it was for her to be there and live under their care.
