Even though her aunt had promised her husband she would look after Jane, she now mistreats Jane regularly and finally decides to send her away to an institution for girls. Jane grows up at this institution. After graduating, Jane finds a job as a governess at Thornfield Hall. There she falls in love with the master, Mr. Rochester.
