First published in 1847, Jane Eyre is considered one of the great romances of all time. Now students can appreciate the story in a new way while honing their analytical skills. This teaching guide contains a variety of activities and exercises based on illustrated scenes from the novel. Students learn about the author's background, her literary family, and the place of women in Victorian England, and they address such questions as whether Jane Eyre is a successful heroine and how to re-plot the novel for a Hollywood adaptation.

Graphic Novel version of the story, I find the story of Jane Eyre to be overrated
