Agnes Grey, by: Anne Brontë

Agnes Grey decided to work as a governess to help her impoverished family, burdened under the weight of poverty, so she meets, during her work, all kinds of people, their good and their bad, committed to her religious teachings and moral principles as much as she can, struggling with her disappointments and sadness because of that, hoping to earn respect and appreciation from her students and to instill good manners in them, praying to God to grant her the love of the only man whose heart beats for her. Anne Brontë presented us in (Agnes Grey) a story that describes the conditions of governesses in the Victorian era, and people's opinions about them, and their treatment of them, revealing the injustice inflicted upon them by what is expected of them sometimes, and what they are deprived of at other times, with a smooth narration and melodious eloquence that captivates the reader and takes him back with her words to a past time, but one that is present in her spirit in these lines.
