Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte is a semi-autobiographical novel that follows the life of a young woman named Agnes, the daughter of a poor clergyman, who becomes a governess to support her family. Through her experiences working for two wealthy and morally flawed families-the Bloomfields and the Murrays-Agnes faces loneliness, disrespect, and isolation. Despite the hardships, she remains principled, kind, and strong-willed.

The novel explores themes of social class, the limited roles of women, and the moral education of children. Agnes eventually finds love and stability with Mr. Weston, a humble and virtuous curate, highlighting the rewards of integrity and quiet perseverance.
