Since this character carries my surname, I have been highly interested in the history of this book. It is my conclusion, and the conclusion of others, that Jane Eyre is not a real person of whom Charlotte Bronte wrote about. However, there are many parallels between Jane's and Charlotte's life, such as going away to the school and the death of so many girls, and Jane's employment as a governess and falling in love with the Master of one place she was employed at. So, one could argue that Charlotte wrote about herself in the book.

I kind of wish Jane was real. It would have been a great boon to have traced my genealogy to her.
