We still read Jane Eyre tody because it is one of the best love stories ever written. The book keeps readers interested by making them wonder if Jane and Mr. Rochester will end up together. It has an inspiring message to follow your heart. This message is timeless because everyone faces hard choices from time to time where they have to choose which road they want to take in their life. The characters are timeless because most people in their lifetime find someone that they love. If that person goes away, or maybe even dies, then it is common that the other one would grieve over their lost lover. By reading this novel, one thing that we can learn is to be honest and open to our friends. Jane was distraught when she found out that Mr. Rochester’s wife was still alive and he did not tell her (Bronte 451). Another lesson we can learn is to think twice before you make an important decision. Jane left Thornfield because she felt that she had to and later ended up wishing that she had stayed (Bronte 608). The final lesson is to not always do something for someone only to make them happy. If Jane would have married St. John Rivers, it would only have been for him since Jane did not want to marry him (Bronte 633).
