Throughout Charlotte Brontės novel, Jane Eyre, Jane finds herself in strange places; oftentimes the locations that Brontė has chosen for the setting in Jane Eyre are similar to scenes in her own life. Various scenes in Janes life, such as Gateshead Hall, Lowood, Thornfield, and the Moor House, are all settings that correspond chronologically to scenes in Brontės life. This correspondence has helped Brontė describe Janes life naturally and with a personal touch.
Gateshead Hall, where Jane experiences much of her childhood life, is comparable to Charlotte Brontės birthplace, Haworth. At Haworth, Charlotte Brontė grew up with the loss of her mother, and, in a way, the loss of her father; after Mrs. Brontės death, Mr. Brontė grew more and more isolated from the rest of the family. Charlottes aunt took care of the children most of the time, at times rather harshly. Faced with economic and social problems, Charlottes brother Patrick turned to alcoholism and eventually died after bringing much shame and disappointment to the family.
