Agnes Grey is predictable but none the less lovely, we follow Agnes as she leaves home for the first time and begins to work as a governess. Bronte obviously wanted to expose the impossible task governesses faced at the time. In both her positions Agnes is expected to keep a tight reign on her charges, without being able to hold any authority over them. Agnes can be very annoying, she is puritanical and thinks a lot of herself when it comes to her morals, though she isn't dislikable, rather we can sympathise with both her struggling with her students and her students struggling with her. It's a comfortable, easy read.
