The play is a dramatic version of the novel, though it offers a more or less condensation of the story

Jane comes to Thornfield, Mr Rochester's house, to be a governess to Adele, Mr Rochester's ward

Mr. Rochester is an unhappy man with a lunatic wife whom he must keep locked up

Jane's presence begins to thaw him a bit and they come to an understanding which, it is suspected, will lead to marriage

However, Jane finds out about the lunatic wife, and so she leaves Thornfield

She returns to Thornfield to discover that the lunatic had finally succeeded in firing the house and in allowing herself to be killed in the fire

Now Rochester is free to marry Jane, and she accepts him
