Jane Eyre the movie

The movie is on the same track as the book so far, yet there are minor differences in each part of the book, but its basically telling the same story. I had not expected Jane to be as pretty as she is in the movie, or Mr. Rochester to have that much facial hair. The way i had pictured the book is very different from the actors point of view on the story. Most of the characters, except Mrs. Fairfax is very different from the mental images i made as i was reading the book. The movie is very good even though its different from the book.

Novels and Movies

The Novel Jane Eyre is one fantastic book. I do believe that the book is much better because it includes much more detail and specifies the feelings and dialogue of the characters. The movie sometimes disappoints audiences who have read the book, because it is far off from what they imagined when they read the book. The movie Jane Eyre skips many parts due to lack of time, money, space, or character. Some important parts in the book were skipped, and i had been closely anticipating it. For example, St. John is described to be more austere and distant, in the book, he is very attached to Jane Eyre. There are many differences between the movie and the book, and to me, the book is much preferrable.

close to the end

Jane Eyre returns to Thornfield to see what has changed in her absence. She realizes that the house has burned down, Bertha commited suicide, and most surprising to her, Mr. Rochester is blind and without an arm. Jane Eyre visits Rochester in a house in the woods, and converses with him. I find it very surprising when i find out that Rochester proposes again, and Jane says yes. Only this time, they go forth with it. This is very surprising to me, because they have known each other for quite awhile in that stretch of time, so much had happened: good, bad, mysterious, confusing. At the very end, they still end up with each other. Considering the fact that Rochester is more than twice her age, he is blind, without an arm, and had a messed up history, Jane still loves her with all her heart. This even was truly unexpected for me.

True Love

NO! The book is over and it ended so sweetly! But I wish that Mr. Rochester wasn't blind! But I am over joyed for Mr. Rochester and Jane, they got married despite the fact that Mr. Rochester is blind and has no hand. To me I think that Charlotte Bronte is trying to show her readers about true love. When you truly love someone you will always be there for each other, you may fight but you would get over it because of how much you love each other, and of course appearances don't matter. Mr. Rochester may look really ugly now, but to Jane it doesn't really matter. Jane knows that her marriage life with Mr. Rochester will be hard because he is blind, but it doesn't change the way she feels for him, or the way he feels for her. I think the ending was very cute and I loved how they decided to get married. And I am also somewhat happy that Bertha has died and gave Mr. Rochester and Jane the opportunity to get married. The only thing that could have made the end better was if Mr. Rochester wasn't blind and handless. But then we wouldn't have been able to see the strong love between them.

Janes New Life, No longer an outsider

So much has happened to Jane since she's left Thornfield. Jane had the chance to find her long lost cousins, who helped her find a job as a teacher; she also earned a fourtune of pounds from a long-lost uncle, and she was willing to share her fourtune with her three cousins who where in need of money as she was. Also St. John (Janes cousin) proposed to her but thankfully she did not accept it. Janes life has changed so much over her time away from Thornfield, which has done her good, but deep inside I still miss Mr. Rochester, I just wish Bertha wasnt there to ruin Janes and Rochesters love. But we shall see what happens further in the book, I can't wait.

Jane's Fortune

It seems like that my previous blog "Chapter 30 Blog" was wrong about Jane's future after leaving St. Johns, his cousins, household. Jane enjoyed her little time as a school teacher, even though there were those that had no self-respect, there were other pupils that she did like. Her cousin St. John later reveals of what had happened to his uncle. He died in another country, and left a hefty fortune of 20,000 pounds to Jane Eyre, but St. John doesn't that who he is talking to is not Jane Elliot, but Jane Eyre. 

Jane Eyre later recieved her fortune and does not keep all the 20,000 pounds to herself but distributes it among her cousins!

Looks like Jane Eyre happiness does not stop at all, she is taken in from the dark by her long lost cousins, leaves the household to pursue as a teacher in a poor village which she enjoyed, and now is living in luxury with 5,000 pounds. But it seems as if we forgot about Mr. Rochester, lets see if appears somewhere in the end of the book.

CH. 30 Is Jane still an outsider?

Jane is staying at the Moor House and she feels that it is quite pleasant. Diana, Mary and her all get along very well and have a lot in common. Diana and Mary loan Jane books, and she draws for them.She enjoys their interesting conversation, and Jane takes German lessons from Diana, and gives art lessons to Mary. The only thing that Jane seems not so fond of is Diana and Mary's brother St. John, but she says in the book that he is not at the house much and that his disposition is not like the others, but St. John may be distant and cold, but he is never unkind.
