Charlotte Bronte drew many instances from her own life to be the basis of her novel. For example her idea for the Lowood School and Jane's terrible time there was stimulated by Bronte's own experience at a terrible boarding school at which two of her sisters died. Bronte also worked as a governess, and used her own experiences with an unruly child to create the unfortunate character John Reed. Bronte's experience as a governess gives her novel a realistic advantage as opposed to an author writing about children who had no experience with them at all.
When Jane is stumbling around the English countryside after being abandoned by her carriage, it's as if living at Thornfield were only a distant dream, so Apres un Reve by Faure (After a Dream) would be the perfect song to accompany her pitiful wanderings
