Charlotte Bronte used experiences from her life both as a student at boarding school and as a governess to write this book. While she was a child at boarding school, her two older sisters died there. The novel Jane Eyre was tremendously popular when it came out, but it was also criticised as being immoral because of the relationship of Rochester the master of the house and Jane the governess. It was also shocking because Jane wanted to be independent and think for herself.
