Movie Vs. Book

I think that the movie went very quickly and overall left a lot of key scenes out of the play. One of these scenes being the part where Rochester plays the role of a gypsy in order to create jealousy in Jane. I think that without this, we lose some sense of the direction of the movie. Other things that struck me when I was watching the movie was the characters; some characters were left out, like the other cousin of Jane and others like St. John, did not portray the roles that Bronte wrote. The part of St. John I felt was played poorly because it did not trully show how devote St. John was toward god. The movie appeared to me as if it was rushed through and if I had not read the book prior to watching the movie, I would have believed that there was not plot line in the movie because the scenes seemed to just jump from one to the other. I also felt as if the characters feelings were portrayed well enough to convince me of their feelings for one another.

Character Portralys

The Characters from in the novel Jane Eyre and in the movie were totally different it almost seemed like they were opposite from what they were potrayed in the book.For instance Jane seemed prettier than described in the book, Rochester was perfectly casted in my opinion. Many charachters seemed to look better than described in the novel. Bertha i had imagined to look more crazy but she was just as i had imagined her phsyically. All in all the charchter potrayls werent that bad.

Movie vs Novel

Jane Eyre in the novel and the movie were very different. Many things werent even shone in the movie if i hadnt read the book the movie wouldnt even make since. For instance St. John didnt have two cousins, (Diana and Mary) as in the novel in the movie he only had one Diana. St. John also found Jane in the woods instead of in the novel were as Jane found their house came knocking on the door and was refused to come in but since she was a peculiar case st. john allowed her to come in and rest. In another case that also happened in the novel that didnt happened in the book was that Jane and St. John never relieazed they were cousins, and Jane never became rich. Also Jane told St. John her real name as in the novel were she told him a fake name. The movie left many different scenes from the novel that seemed very important to novel out from the movie. Making from after watching the novel very dissapointing, the acting was good and it the movie didnt really flow but over all its a ok film.

Quotation Response

"Reader, I married him." Pg: 452 Chapter 38

Even though Rochester has conflicting maladies that have been thrust upon himself through bad fortune and circumstance, Jane still loves him. Jane loves Rochester because even from the moment the she first laid her eyes on him and fell in love with him, she forgave all of his faults and saw him as a handsome person whom she loved with all of her fault. Looks did not trully add to the love that they held for each other, but the personalities that both of them held, which seemed to appeal to both one another. That is why Jane was able to look past Rochester's handicaps. Jane loves Rochester and is devoted to him and always has been even after she left him when he asked her to marry him. She always felt a strong bond to Rochester that could neved be separated nor broken by any means of distance or circumstance. Resulting in this bond, she is able to love unconditionally and be forever with Rochester

Quotation Response

"And got the servants out of their beds and helped them down himself--and went back to get his mad wife out of her cell." Pg 431 Chapter 36

Once the fire has started in the house, my main priority would have been to make sure that I was first safe and sound, while Rochester disregarded his for the safety of the others. He made sure that everyone of his employees was made it safely out of the house and he even went out to get his crazy wife Bertha whom ruined his relationship with Jane. This reflects Rochesters good-natured character and if he had just left Bertha to die in the fire, she would be dead and he would not have recieved any bodily harm to him that may affect his outlook on life and how people view himl.

"I have now been married ten years. I know what it is to live entirely for and with what I love best on Earth. I hold myself surpremely blest-blest beyond what language can express;because I am my husband's as fully as he is mine. No woman was ever nearer to her mate than I am:ever more absolutely bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. I now know weariness of my Edward's society: he knows none of mine, any more than we each do of the puslation of the heart that beats in our separate bosoms; consquently we are ever together." Chapter 38

This is jane expressing how her and Rochester are meant to be together. How they are one another's body and soul how they are one. She also expresses how class doesnt matter she is with the man that she loves and that is all that matters. Jane says she knows Rochester basically like the back of her hand she knows and loves Rochester the way no other woman could know or love a man. Jane and Rochester have been married for a blissful ten years now and according to Jane nothing can break their love. Jane feels blessed beyond anything lanuage can express because she and Rochester absoluetly love one another.

" 'My living darling!These are certainly her limbs, and these her features;but i cannot be so blest, after all my misery. It is a dream; such dreams as I have had at night when i have had a night when I clasped her once more to my heart, as i do now; and kissed her as thus--and felt that she loved me, and trusted that she would not leave me... Gentle, soft dream, soft dream nesting into my arms now,you will fly,too, as your sisters have all fled before you: but kiss me before you go embrace me Jane' " Chap.37 pg 382.
This quote is Rochester how at firsts believes how Jane visiting him is a dream. Jane assurses him he isnt having a dream and it is actually her in his room. As Rochester grabs Jane to feel her embrace him she relieazes and tells Rochester she will be with him forever. Is this true love i see? how Jane comes back to horrible poor Rochester and still loves him and wants to be with him forever. I guess so it would only be true love for that if Jane really didnt love Rochester she wouldnt want to be with a "crippled" man and at that a poor man who's status has went down in society. After all that Rochester has put Jane through she still wants to be with him! wow most women wouldnt go back to a man like that which proves the love between Jane and Rochester is true.
