Jane Eyre is a story about an orphan child. Janes parents died when she was still too little to remember them, and it is her uncle (her mothers brother) who takes her in. Janes uncle also dies not to long after this, and he makes hir wife, Mrs. Reed, promise him that she will take care of his niece as if she were her own. Unfortunately for Jane, her aunt does not fulfill that promise: She considers Jane a bourdain and dislikes her for being poor. Her children are no better. Under their mothers indulgence, they mistreat their cousin constantly, always making it clear that she is inferior to them.It is only at age ten that Jane managed to get out of her aunts house, but her quality of life does not improve much. She is sent to Lowood, a charity school directed by the cruel Mr. Brocklehurst, who does not hesitate in making the pupils face hunger, cold and even physical punishments in what he considers a chance to save their souls.Our protagonist remains at Lowood for eight years, six as a pupil and two as a teacher. After that, she decides that it is time to find a new situation and advertises in a paper offering her services to educate children. The only answer she receives comes from a place called Thornfield, in Millcote, and is addressed by a Mrs. Fairfax, who hires her to be the governess of only one child.Janes life in Thornfield Hall is more satisfactory that she could have expected. She likes Mrs. Fairfax, the housekeeper, and her little pupil Adele, who soon become very fond of her, too. Jane also gets to know Mr. Rochester, owner of Thornfield, with whom she develops a strange friendship that eventually turns into love. But it will be no long until she discovers that the unequal social positions and the difference of age are not the biggest obstacles that their relationship has to overcome. On the eve of their wedding a terrible secret comes out, tearing Jane away from everything she has ever known.

A Arte de conquistar um homem, reflete bem o pensamento do autor sobre os conceitos morais contemporaneos, sobretudo, a questo conceitual do amor, o matrimonio, a existencia consoante, as orientaçes pedagogicas premidas pelas açes do homem. Premissas essas elaboradas a luz da experiencia e apresentadas ao leitor em forma de aforismo, oraçes curtas e maximas. Sem prejuizo de uma leitura aprofundada, o autor trata de esclarecer que e um livro vulgar, com palavras vulgares escritas a luz da pratica cotidiana, da vivencia sistemica e de "uma base moral do corpo".Quase que espontaneamente o autor tenta exemplificar a falta de sinceridade que existe entre os homens e as mulheres no relacionamento, levando-os ao calabouço, a perda de tempo, a servido dos sentimentos a manifesta usura do problema moral do amor confundido na premeditaço dos objetivos. Sera o amor um Deus astuto, delinquente e frio? Existe outrora algum valor corrompido pelos condicionamentos dos instintos, ou seja, existe alguma pureza dogmatica que torna os homens e as mulheres to astutos? A luz das evidencias o que resta so os instintos de sobrevivencia.A fim de exemplificar, de fundamentar o pensamento Dilo dividiu o livro em quatro capitulos sem objetivos logicos, porem meramente inconsequente. Assim o leitor no precisa se preocupar com a narrativa, precisa tampouco analisar o que se irrompe como uma priso, cercada pela argucia do escritor convenhamos: um cinico.
