Jane Eyre: A Cinderella Story
The Novel Jane Eyre in several aspects can be compared to “Cinderella”. Jane is similar to Cinderella, Rochester is like Prince Charming, Mrs. Reed is like her evil step mother, Eliza and Georgiana are like the evil step sisters. Jane’s life at Gateshed is like Cinderella’s life at her step mother’s house. When Jane was living at Thornfield, is like Cinderella when she married the prince, and was living in the palace.
Mr. Rochester is like her prince charming, which takes her away from her ugly life. But Jane is there to give his ward Adele an education. That is how Mr. Rochester first falls in love with Jane when he sees the knowledge and education that Jane has. Grace Poole is like the spell that the fairy god-mother casts on Cinderella to go to the ball and then wears off at midnight. And when the spell wears off Grace tries to kill Jane because she is taking care of Bertha that is actually married to Rochester. And Grace succeeds in ruining the wedding.
