The hero of the book, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte is Jane Eyre. Jane's physical appearance is mostly described as being plain. She is not considered a beauty and seems to be less valued because of this. "if she were a nice, pretty child, one might compassionate her forlornness; but one really cannot care for such a little toad as that" (Bronte, page 35, paragraph 3). Even when giving the option to wear elaborate expensive clothes and jewelry from Mr.Rochester, Jane feels out of place accepting them. Jane is also bright, full of integrity, a hard worker, independent, talented and very strong. Jane shows her intelligence through teaching Adele and also the poor children. Jane's accomplishments in this book are endless. She accomplishes school, getting employment, true love, and a family. I think Jane's entire life was an accomplishment. I mean she started as an orphan with no expectations at all and strives to become a rich married woman with the support of a real family. Jane Eyre's character in this book is portrayed as an orphan girl who gets less credit than she deserves. I think Jane definitely represents diligence. Jane proves to the readers that no matter what your history or back ground is, with hard work and integrity you can make it through the toughest situations.
