Jane Eyre and Charlotte Bronte share many similarities within their lives, and I think Bronte related them on purpose. Jane and Bronte have both suffered a lot of loss of family members in their lives, which made them both feel depressed and isolated. Bronte and Jane also both atteneded a school, in which they did not like, and they were in love with an older man who was already married. This is the perfect example of Jane and Mr. Rochester's relationship because Mr. Rochester was technically married to a mad woman, but him and Jane still had feelings for eachother and they hid those feelings. I think Bronte wrote Jane Eyre, as a form of "therapy" for herself, to write down her hardships and talk about how her life expierences made her feel.
