Création de la leçon...
1
Jane Eyre is an orphan, which is a precarious thing in Victorian England.
2
After her parents died, baby Jane was taken in by her kind and wealthy uncle, Mr. Reid, her mother's brother.
3
But then Uncle Reid died, so Jane was left in the care of Mrs. Reid, her aunt, by marriage.
4
That's when all of Jane's troubles began.
5
Ten years on, Jane lives in constant fear of her cousins, John, Eliza and Georgiana Reid.
6
John is the worst.
7
Not that Mrs. Reid cares.
8
As far as she's concerned, her children are angels, and Jane is an ungrateful little troll.
9
Things come to a head after a nasty altercation between John and Jane.
10
Mrs Reid punishes Jane by locking her in the dreaded Red Room, which deeply traumatises her.
11
After this, it's agreed that Jane should leave Gateshead Hall and go to school.
12
But Lowood School takes some serious adjusting to.
13
It's a Christian charity school for orphans, and Mr Brocklehurst is the intimidating headmaster.

17
He believes that deprivation and discipline are important for the girls' improvement.
18
Luckily, Miss Maria Temple, the head teacher, is gentler and more caring.
19
Jane also makes a friend at Lowood, Helen Burns.
20
She teaches Jane about God and how to be patient and loving like Jesus.
21
Sadly, a few months after Jane's arrival, Helen dies of tuberculosis.
22
Rest in peace, little one.
23
Fast forward eight years and Jane is a respected teacher at Lowood.
24
But after Miss Temple marries and moves away, Jane yearns for a change of scene.
25
So she looks for work as a governess or private teacher and finds a position at Thornfield Hall.
26
Before Jane leaves Lowood, Bessie, the kind nursemaid from Gateshead, pays Jane a surprise visit.
27
Bessie spills the tea about the reeds' misfortune.
28
Eliza and Georgiana hate each other.
29
And John is a loser who spends all his mum's money.
30
Bessie also tells Jane that seven years ago, a man came to Gateshead looking for Jane.
31
He claimed to be her uncle.
32
But Jane had gone to Lowood by then, and he had to leave for Madeira on business.
33
What a pity.
34
When Jane arrives at Thornfield Hall, she's warmly welcomed by Mrs Fairfax.
35
Jane initially assumes that Mrs Fairfax is the owner, but she's only the housekeeper.
36
Thornfield is owned by a man named Edward Rochester, who's hardly ever at home.
37
Jane also meets her pupil, 10-year-old Adele Varense.
38
She's Mr Rochester's ward and has only recently arrived from France with her nursemaid, Sophie.
39
After Adele's first day of lessons conclude, Mrs Fairfax takes Jane on a tour of the mansion.
40
As they venture into the upper stories, Jane hears creepy laughter.
41
So Mrs Fairfax admonishes Grace Poole, the seamstress, for being so noisy.
42
Over the next few months, Jane hears that strange laugh on other occasions, and it's very unnerving.
43
One cold afternoon in January, Jane is walking to the village when she encounters a rider who falls from his horse.
44
It's only when she returns to Thornfield that Jane discovers that the man is Edward Rochester.
45
Over the coming weeks, Jane gets to know Mr. Rochester through their after-dinner chats.
46
He's a moody, rather intense man, but he enjoys talking to Jane and makes her his confidant.
47
He alludes to a terrible twist of fate he suffered in his youth, but is vague about the details.
48
Eventually, Mr Rochester opens up about Adele's origins.
49
He'd had an affair with her mother, Celine Varense, which ended badly.
50
Celine then claimed that Mr Rochester was Adele's father, although it's obvious he's not.
51
Years later, after Celine had died, Mr Rochester rescued Adele from a life of poverty and brought her to England.
52
Jane's compassion for Adele deepens, as do her feelings for Mr Rochester.
53
When she saves him from burning to death in his bed one night, it's clear that Mr Rochester also has feelings for Jane.
54
But now there's the problem of a crazed servant, Grace Poole, who commits random acts of violence in the night.
55
Why does Mr Rochester cover up her crimes?
56
After the burning bed incident, Mr Rochester leaves Thornfield briefly,
57
then returns with a large group of guests.
58
Among them is Blanche Ingram, one of the county's most eligible bachelorettes.
59
But when Jane finally meets Blanche, she sees what a horrible person Blanche really is.
60
Unfortunately, Mr Rochester seems very taken with her, which is torture for Jane.
61
When Mr Rochester goes out on business one day, two strangers arrive at Thornfield.
62
One is Mr Richard Mason from Jamaica, the other is a fortune teller,
63
who apparently reveals something awful to Blanche.
64
When Jane goes in to have her fortune read, the old woman says some intriguing things.
65
Is she the real deal?
66
No. It's just Mr. Rochester in disguise.
67
But it's all jokes aside when Jane tells him about Mr. Mason's arrival.
68
Mr. Rochester becomes seriously distressed.
69
Who is Mr. Mason?
70
And what does he want?
71
Later that night, Mr. Rochester calls on Jane to attend to Mr. Mason.
72
He's been savagely attacked.
73
This could only mean one thing.
74
Grace Poole is at it again.
75
Once Mr. Mason is patched up and bundled into a carriage, he pleads with Mr. Rochester to take good care of the demon who mauled him.
76
Mr. Rochester promises he will, which astonishes Jane.
77
A short time later, Jane is summoned back to Gateshead.
78
Mrs Reed is dying and has been asking for Jane.
79
She recently suffered a stroke after her son John killed himself, and she hasn't got long to live.
80
When Jane is at her bedside, Mrs Reed comes clean about her regrets.
81
Three years ago, Jane's uncle, John Eyre, wrote to Mrs Reed asking about Jane.
82
He'd become successful in Madeira and wanted to adopt Jane and leave her his fortune.
83
But Mrs. Reid wrote back and said that Jane had died of typhus at Lowood School.
84
Mrs. Reid knows this was wrong and lets Jane have her uncle's letter.
85
Perhaps she can contact him if it's not too late.
86
Jane forgives Mrs. Reid, who dies a few hours later.
87
Jane then stays on for another month to help Georgiana and Eliza Reid pack up their lives.
88
After this, they all part ways for good.
89
After such a long absence, Jane's summertime return to Thornfield is a joyous occasion.
90
But aren't wedding preparations meant to be underway for Mr Rochester and Blanche Ingram?
91
Nope.
92
Because a short time later, Mr Rochester proposes marriage to Jane.
93
He never loved Blanche, that gold digger.
94
While disguised as the fortune teller, he'd lied to Blanche and told her he was poor.
95
She lost interest after that.
96
Jane thinks Mr Rochester is joking at first, but when she sees that he's serious, she accepts his proposal.
97
Hooray!
98
The next day, Mr Rochester breaks the happy news to Mrs Fairfax, who is anything but happy.
99
She tells Jane to be on her guard, which upsets Jane a lot.
100
However, she follows Mrs Fairfax's advice and keeps Mr Rochester at a respectful distance for the next month.
101
Then, two nights before the wedding, a ghostly figure enters Jane's bedroom.
102
She rifles through Jane's closet, looks at her wedding dress and tries on her veil.
103
The creature then rips the veil and stomps on it.
104
Jane is absolutely terrified.
105
When she tells Mr Rochester about it, he confirms that the intruder was indeed Grace Poole.
106
He also promises to explain the whole mystery a year from now.
107
On the day of the wedding, Mr Rochester hurries Jane to the church, only to have the ceremony interrupted.
108
A lawyer named Briggs steps forward and objects on the grounds that Mr Rochester is already married.
109
Fifteen years ago in Jamaica, he married Bertha Antoinetta Mason, who's still alive and living at Thornfield Hall.
110
Mr Richard Mason, Bertha's brother, steps forward and confirms everything.
111
Since his wedding is now ruined, Mr Rochester invites everyone back to Thornfield to meet his wife.
112
And what an eye-opener that is.
113
Grace Poole is Bertha's prison guard, and Bertha behaves like a caged animal.
114
She attacks Mr Rochester, biting and scratching him like a mad cat.
115
So, the mystery of the laughing, homicidal veil-stomping maniac is solved.
116
Poor Jane.
117
She knows she must leave Thornfield Hall, but where will she go?
118
Later that evening, Mr Rochester breaks down and pleads with Jane to stay.
119
But Jane Eyre is no man's mistress and bids him a heart-wrenching farewell.
120
She slips out of Thornfield before dawn the next day, catching a coach as far as it will take her.
121
It drops her off at a remote crossroads and she sleeps that night in a cave.
122
The next day, Jane walks to the nearest village and arrives there starving and exhausted.
123
After two miserable days of begging and sleeping outdoors, Jane finds a house outside of town and collapses on the doorstep.
124
Thankfully, the inhabitants take her in and allow her to stay and recuperate.
125
The house is called Marsh End, or More House, and is owned by three siblings, Sinjin, Diana, and Mary Rivers.
126
Jane assumes an alias and keeps the Rivers on a need-to-know basis.
127
They're naturally curious, but respect her privacy.
128
As time passes, Jane bonds with Diana and Mary, and Sinjin finds her some work.
129
Jane will be the new mistress of a small school for girls in the nearby village of Morton.
130
It's a humble position, but it certainly beats begging.
131
The job is tough at the start, as Jane's students need a lot of help.
132
Then again, it's honest work, comes with a cosy cottage and is better than a life of sin with Edward Rochester.
133
Jane still loves him, though, so much it hurts.
134
When Sinjin pays Jane a visit, it's clear that he's also painfully in love with a stunning girl named Rosamund Oliver.
135
And the feeling is mutual by the looks of things, but Sinjin suppresses his feelings.
136
He's got his heart set on being a Christian missionary overseas.
137
One evening, Sinjin stops by to tell Jane that he knows who she is.
138
In fact, he knows everything about her.
139
Briggs the lawyer wrote to him looking for Jane, and Sinjin connected the dots.
140
There's some news.
141
Jane's Uncle John in Madeira has died and left her a fortune of £20,000.
142
She's filthy rich! But that's not all.
143
Uncle John is also the uncle of Sinjin, Diana and Mary.
144
The River siblings are Jane's cousins.
145
As far as Jane is concerned, that's the real jackpot.
146
So she arranges to have the money split four ways between them.
147
Now they can be a real family and live happily together at Morehouse.
148
Jane works at the school until a replacement is found, then throws herself into sprucing up Morehouse for Christmas.
149
Meanwhile, Diana and Mary quit being governesses and return home to start their new lives of leisure.
150
But Sinjin's plans remain unchanged.
151
No leisure for him.
152
One afternoon, out of the blue, Sinjin invites Jane to India with him, as his wife.
153
He's sure she would make an excellent and very useful companion on his mission.
154
But Jane refuses him.
155
He's not really in love with her, so it's no deal.
156
Jane's refusal offends Sinjin, but he's a determined man.
157
One evening, he approaches Jane so tenderly and persuasively that she begins to rethink her refusal.
158
But then she hears Edward Rochester's voice calling to her on the wind and knows what she has to do.
159
She leaves Morehouse the next day and is back at Thornfield a few days later.
160
But shock horror, Thornfield is just a burnt-out shell.
161
According to the local innkeeper, who witnessed the whole thing, Bertha set the mansion on fire.
162
She then leapt from the battlements before Mr. Rochester could save her.
163
He'd saved everyone else from the blaze, but was horribly injured when making his own escape.
164
Luckily, Adele was at school by this time, and Mrs. Fairfax was happily retired.
165
But Mr. Rochester now lives as a blind, one-handed recluse at his remote estate of Ferndeen.
166
Jane travels to Ferndeen that very day and finds Mr Rochester, as the innkeeper described, blind and broken.
167
It's an intense reunion for the two lovers, and Mr Rochester struggles to believe that Jane is real.
168
He's also self-conscious about his injuries and wonders whether Jane will be able to love him again.
169
But Jane loves him as much as ever.
170
She also tells him what she's been up to for the past year and the good news about her inheritance.
171
Jane's an independent woman now.
172
With her reassurance of perfect, lifelong love, Mr Rochester proposes marriage to Jane once more.
173
She accepts immediately, and they marry three days later in a simple ceremony.
174
No interruptions this time.
175
News of their marriage is warmly received by Mr Rochester's servants and Jane's cousins.
176
Sinjin, now in India, takes the news more coolly, but is always civil in his letters to Jane.
177
A short time later, Jane enrols Adele at a lovely nearby school and visits her often.
178
Then, after two years of marriage, Jane bears Mr Rochester a beautiful, dark-eyed son.
179
By this time, Mr. Rochester has regained most of his eyesight.
180
Diana and Mary Rivers also go on to marry exemplary men, but St. Gin never takes a wife.
181
Sadly, after ten years, he becomes gravely ill in India.
182
But, like little Helen Burns, Jane is sure St. Gin will rejoice in a blissful afterlife.
183
And here ends the story of Jane Eyre.
184
She's certainly earned her place among literature's most epic heroines, don't you think?
185

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
