‘The moment I first met you, I noticed
your pride, your sense of superiority,
and your selfish disdain for the
feelings of others. You are the last
man in the world whom I could
ever be persuaded to marry,’ said
Elizabeth Bennet.

Jane Eyre is alone in the world.
Disliked by her aunt’s family, she is
sent away to school. Here she learns
that a young girl, with neither money
nor family to support her, can expect
little from the world. She survives,
but she wants more from life than
simply to survive: she wants respect,
and love.

London in the 1830s was no place
to be if you were a hungry ten-year-
old boy, an orphan without friends or
family, with no home to go to, and
only a penny in your pocket to buy a
piece of bread.
But Oliver Twist finds some friends
– Fagin, the Artful Dodger, and
Charley Bates.
