The book very well suits the time period and location it was said to have been in. The attitudes, appearances, and scenery all seem like the time and setting the book was in. The author, Charlotte Bronte, wrote about the relationship between Adele, Mr. Rochester’s former mistress’s daughter, and Jane. Jane was Adele’s governess, so her employer was technically Mr. Rochester, seeing as he was Adele’s guardian, even though we do not know if he is biologically her father. The relationship between Jane and Mr. Rochester was probably strange to the average reader at first because, to my knowledge, people did not form a relationship with their employers back then, but I could be wrong. The relationships between her and her family are different as well. What Jane knew as “family” as a child was the abusive, cruel, rude, and harsh family she had with her Aunt and cousins. Her Aunt spoiled her own children, but she treated Jane as if she wasn’t worth anything. Her cousins, especially John Reed, were mean to her as well. Although, when she lived with her other family, they were nothing but kind and respective towards her. The relationship that Jane has with others varies a lot, but it helps give the story more realism.
