In 1824 Charlotte attended Clergy Daughters’ School in Lancashire. Her experiences there, including harsh discipline and terrible food, influenced the portrayal of Lowood Institution in Jane Eyre. In 1842 Charlotte and Emily went to Brussels as pupils to improve their French and acquire some German. Her experiences there inspired the characters and incidents in Villette.
