Lowood School Jane Eyre

Jane's next location is Lowood school. She comes here to start her life and get away from her aunt and cousins. She soon found happiness in the form of a friend, Helen, but it was short lived nad her misery had taken over again. Her friend died and she said the following:

"From the day she left I was no longer the same; with her was gone every settled feeling, every association that had made Lowood in some degree a home to me" (Bronte)

She continued to excel in her studies at Lowood and becomes a teacher there. She leaves a few years later for a governess job in Thronfield. 

"The school is based upon Cowan Bridge School in Lancashire which Charlotte and her sisters attended as pupils." (Reader's Guide to Jane Eyre)
