    One of the Demon Guardians - Charlotte Bronte

    Charlotte Bront? (April 21, 1816 - March 31, 1855), a famous British writer and poet in the 19th century, the author of the world literary masterpiece "Jane Eyre", and one of the three Bront? sisters.  (Baidu Search Literature Museum)

    In August 1824, Charlotte and her sisters Emily, Maria and Elizabeth were sent to the Girls' Church School at Colne Bridge, Lancashire (later Charlotte described it as Lowood School in "Jane Eyre"  ).

    The situation at school was quite difficult, which also caused a permanent psychological shadow on Charlotte's health. It may also have led to the death of Charlotte's two sisters, Maria (1815-1825) and Elizabeth (1814-1825).  year) death.  They died of tuberculosis shortly after leaving school in 1825.

    At Haworth¡¯s house, Charlotte and Brenwell, Emily and Anne began to create their fantasy kingdom.

    Charlotte and Brenwell wrote stories about Anglia, while Emily and Anne wrote articles and poems about Gondal.

    These legends were described in considerable detail (some of which still exist in manuscripts), providing them with the pleasure of childhood and early adolescence and laying the foundation for their future literary works.

    Charlotte attended Mirfield School from 1831 to 1832, where she met lifelong friends Ellen Nucci and Mary Taylor.

    In 1833, Charlotte created "dwarf" in the name of wellesley.  From 1835 to 1838, Charlotte worked as a teacher at Mirfield School.  Charlotte worked as a governess for many families in Yorkshire from 1839 until 1841.

    Later, in 1842, Charlotte and her sister Emily went to a private boarding school in Brussels run by Constantin Hegel and his wife Claire Zooey Parent Hegel, in order to repay the Hegels for providing  Accommodation and teaching, Charlotte teaches students English.  Emily, on the other hand, teaches music to students.

    However, it was interrupted due to the death of Charlotte's aunt Elizabeth Brenwell in October 1842.  Charlotte returned to Brussels alone to boarding school in January 1843, taking up a position as a teacher.

    During this time at boarding school in Brussels, Charlotte was not happy because she became lonely, missed her hometown and fell deeply in love with Hegel.

    Finally, Charlotte returned to Haworth in January 1844. This experience later became the inspiration for Charlotte's novels "Villette" and "The Teacher".

    In May 1846, Charlotte, Emily, and Anne jointly published a collection of poems, and used a pen name in order to avoid the prejudice against female writers at the time.  Although the collection of poems did not attract widespread attention (only two copies were sold), they decided to continue writing and began writing their first novel.  Charlotte later published her first two novels under the pseudonym Currerbell.  Regarding this incident, Charlotte later wrote:

    "Because we don't want to reveal our identities, we use pen names such as Courier, Ellis, and Acton Bell to hide our real names. This ambiguous choice made due to uneasy conscience is assuming that Christians think about men.  It's positive.

    We don¡¯t like to announce that we are women because ¨C without a doubt, our writings and ideas will not be called women ¨C we have a vague impression that women writers should turn a blind eye to prejudice.

    We notice how critics sometimes criticize because of personality and sometimes use flattery as encouragement.  These are not real reviews.  "

    Charlotte's novel was considered to be quite vulgar by critics at the time, and most of the focus was on guessing who Courier Bell was and whether he was a man or a woman.

    Charlotte's brother Brenwell Bront? died in September 1848 from debility caused by chronic bronchitis and excessive drinking, although Charlotte believed he died of tuberculosis.

    Emily and Anne also died of tuberculosis in December 1848 and May 1849 respectively.  So Charlotte was left to live with her father, Patrick.

    With the success of Jane Eyre, Charlotte's publisher persuaded her to travel to London occasionally.  Charlotte's true personality emerged in London, where she began to join aristocratic social circles, becoming friends with Harriet Martineau, Elizabeth Gaskell, William Makepeace Thackeray and George Henry.  Lewis and other writers.

    But Charlotte still did not leave Haworth for more than a few weeks because she did not want to leave her father Patrick's side.

    Charlotte married her father's minister, Arthur Bell Nicholas, in June 1854.  About a year later.  Charlotte became pregnant; but Charlotte's health deteriorated rapidly, and she finally died on March 31, 1855. The death certificate stated that Charlotte was pregnant.She was diagnosed with tuberculosis, but many biographers believe that the cause of her death may have been violent vomiting due to severe nausea during early pregnancy.

    However, there is also evidence that Charlotte died of typhus.  It is possible that she was infected by her husband Arthur's old servant (who died earlier than Charlotte).  Charlotte was later buried in the family crypt in St. Mark's Church, Haworth.

    Charlotte's good friend Elizabeth Gaskell published Charlotte's biography "The Life of Charlotte Bront?" in 1857, but Charlotte's feelings for Hegel were sketchy.  However, considering the pain this might cause to Charlotte's friends, husband and father.

    "Jane Eyre"©¤Jane Eyre is an orphan girl who was fostered in the home of her aunt Mrs. Reed at Gateshead Manor since she was a child.  Shrouded in the shadow of being abused by his aunt, he was sent to Lowood Orphanage when he was ten years old.  The dean is a selfish and cruel person.

    She went through all kinds of torture, and her friend Helen died of lung disease; but she completed her studies with strong will and became an excellent teacher. She worked as a teacher in an orphanage for two years, but she couldn't stand the loneliness there,  So he was employed at Thornfield Manor.

    The owner of the manor, Rochester, was a gloomy and moody man. He and Jane Eyre often argued over certain ideas, but the two gradually fell in love.

    One day Mrs. Reed sent someone to find Jane Eyre, saying that she was critically ill and wanted to see Jane Eyre.  When they met, Mrs. Reed gave her a letter, which was sent by Jane Eyre's uncle three years ago. She asked her for news about Jane Eyre and handed over her inheritance to Jane Eyre.

    Mrs. Reed lied that Jane Eyre died of illness in the orphanage. Before she died, Mrs. Reed finally found her conscience and told Jane Eyre the truth.

    Rochester proposed to her, and Jane Eyre agreed and happily prepared for the wedding. However, at the wedding, she discovered that Rochester already had a legal wife, and his wife had suffered mental trauma and was a mental patient.

    Jane Eyre left Thornfield Manor sadly.  She spent all her savings, begging along the way, and finally fainted in front of the home of the pastor St. John, who was rescued by St. John and his two sisters.  and helped her find a job as a teacher.

    Later, St. John discovered that Jane Eyre was his cousin and proposed to her, but Jane Eyre did not agree.  When Jane Eyre returned to Thornfield Manor, the entire manor was in ruins.

    In order to save his wife, Rochester was burned blind and lost a hand, leaving him alone and helpless.  Jane Eyre and Rochester finally got married and gave birth to a boy, and Rochester's eyes recovered enough to see his son.

    After "Jane Eyre" was first published in London, it caused a great response.  The earliest American edition of the novel was published by Harper Brothers in New York the following year.
