The beginning

The beginning of the book saddens my heart. Poor Jane is being treated so cruelly and harshly and by whom? Her own cousins!! In the second chapter Charlotte Bronte reveals that Mr.Reed, deceased in the book, was her uncle; making Mrs.Reed her uncles wife and John, Eliza, and Georgiana  her cousins. What ever happened to families looking after each other and loving each other? Little ten year old Jane is not only humiliated by Mrs.Reeds but is tortured and tormented by John, making her call him master. The humiliation and torture don't stop there! The servants of the house, Bessie and Miss Abbots tell Jane that she is even less than a servant. Though I didn't get far in the book, I have a feeling that Jane will be able to escape the life she has with the Reed family and find a much happier place to continue her life.
