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.
