Jane Eyre: Quotations and Analysis

Jane Eyre is divided into 38 chapters. When it was originally published, it was divided into three volumes. Volume one covered Chapters 1 to 15; Volume two, Chapters 16 to 26 and Volume three, Chapters 27 to 38. The first two chapters cover Jane's life at Gateshead Hall, and then the action moves to Lowood School. Chapters 11 to 26 are set at Thornfield, apart from Jane's return to Gateshead Hall to see her aunt before she dies. From Thornfield Jane goes to Moor House and Morton. Finally, after leaving Moor House in Chapter 36, Jane arrives at Ferndean, where the last chapters of the novel are set. As we trace Jane's physical journeys through the chapters we clearly see her development from the misery of Gateshead Hall through to her happiness at Ferndean.
