Jane Eyre and Mrs. Reed

Jane Eyre, another typical orphan girl, lives with the cruel, tormenting Mrs. Reed. Jane is forced to living and serving the family due to the death of her parents, and the death of the only other caring person in her family, her uncle. She is neglected and treated like an outcast because she isnt part of the immediately Reed family. In the beginning of the story, i am constantly reminded of the fairy tale stories of orphans, or nieces living with their wicked family members due to unlucky circumstances. The story this connects most to in my perspective is the story of Cinderella. Like Jane, Cinderella lives with relatives and is put to work, but ends up escaping from that life and finds a new path to follow. In this story, the outcome is different because she goes to an all girl's school and becomes semi-educated and finds a job. I like how Jane's life flips around when she recieves the opportunity to study and get an education, although i still don't know what will turn out in Jane's future.
