Charlotte, Emily, and Anne make up the Bronte Sisters. Though three separate people, they all shared the same qualities, attributes, mindset, and life.
Three sisters in a family of seven during the early 1800s. After their mother died of disease when the girls were still young, it was only down hill from there– these three would go on to endure existence’s that were tragic and short-lived. As their family members died off one by one to some disease or another, the sisters found solace in the moors and picked up the hobby of writing. All three wrote novels and collections of poetry, both in collaboration with each other and on their own, and inadvertently their writing styles became indiscernible from one to the other. They used the alias’s Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell because the time period called for them to take on masculine names in order to be published. Today they are most well known for their novels, Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre.
Though all three Bronte sister’s were romantics and often wrote tales of tragic love, none of them had a love life of their own. Through their writing, they channeled the tragedy of their lives into beautiful and poetic works that live on today. The Bronte sisters were melancholy and eery but as portrayed through their work, always maintained a beautiful sense of hope and love.
And then they all died of tuberculosis.
