When I started to read Jane Eyre I felt like I had seen something very similar to this story. Many people in class pointed out that the tale of Jane Eyre had a very Cinderella-like feel. I had to agree, but I had a little different take on it. I'm not sure if anyone has seen the movie Ever After, but I feel that Jane Eyre's upbringing was very similar to the main character, Danielle de Barbarac's.
This is a fantastic movie starring Drew Barrymore in one of her best roles, as a servant girl in a house of wicked relatives. She like Cinderella and Jane Eyre were orphaned at a young age and were forced to live with unpleasant (to say the least) family members. They were shunned and forced to work as servants instead of being welcomed as part of their wealthy families. Their aunt figure in all the stories was just absolutely horrible to the girls, and even the cousins would join in on the treachery. Thought I have no knowledge of the ending of Jane Eyre, if it is anything like Ever After or Cinderella, the young tortured girl turns into a strong young women & things work out for the better. If you haven't seen the movie Ever After, I would recommend it highly. I might go watch it right now! :)
