Correct me if I am wrong but isn't it Janes own fault that Mason stopped the wedding because she wrote to her uncle in Maderia telling him that she was getting married?
@LoveMissAll yes but to be fair to Jane there was no way she could have known that her uncle knew anything of either Rochester or Mason, or that even if she had realised there was a mad woman in the attic, that it was his wife. in the book even the people from the village who know Bertha exists speculate about her being his sister or some such ...
I don't understand why the mad wife went back and forward as she pleased in the house? Why they didn't put a fot locker on her? Were they waiting untill she killed someone? At list they should have put fot lockers on her at night, If I was Jame I would have shited my pants every night sleeping in that house hahaha
@tarynrose1000 If you don't like the actress, why are you still watching? And what's the problem you have with her anyway, she acts the part beautifully.
littlebuffolow Hi, have you seen the 2011 version? After Jane finds out he already has a wife, he pleads with Jane to stay, live with him and well...be lovers. A personal question to you: If you were Jane at that exact moment in time, what would YOU do and why? I think this was a very powerful scene and I'm interested in what your choice would be :)
She would not have worn white on her wedding day. White wedding dresses came into fashion after Queen Victoria of England worn one. But most people after her still worn sliver and gray.
@ovcas25 She MAY have worn white. In this 2006 version, the wedding takes place in the summer of 1840. Queen Victoria got married in the February of that year, and so started a trend. Until then, a wedding dress could be ANY colour and was usually just the bride's best dress. (I think I'm correct.)
@supergran1000 i'm pretty sure that Bronte herself specified in the book that Jane's dress was white, as i was reading it earlier. i could be wrong but i am pretty sure it mentioned that Jane was wearing white.
If I were in Jane's position - I would've pissed off immediately. She's left there like a fool after being lied to and embarrassed. Or maybe I'm more level-headed than she apparently is... we shall see.
@nadinal22 thank you, you made me see the story a little differently. I admit i love his character and passion too. I just wish that his unfailing passion for her would have encouraged his need to be more open and honest. But perhaps I'm being too judge mental and might myself act in a similar way where 'love is blind and lovers can not see'
I'm still trying to figure out why everyones in love with Mr. Rochester. He tried to manipulate and seduce a young girl into his bed knowing he already had a wife...does adultery come to anyones mind? Or lying, or being disloyal? Good qualities make individuals beautiful, which is perhaps why he's not referred to in the book as beautiful in appearance.
@ThiiNatawii I think its not so much his appearance but his passion for Jane. When she wishes to leave, he begs her not to, he's possessive of her in this way that makes him really endearing amongst other things. Thus its not the fact that he's attractive (or not so much in the book) that we're drawn to him but to his magnetic personality. As for deceit/infidelity/seduction/manipulation haha there is always that bad ass = sexy idea in which the worse you treat a girl, the more she'll love you.
I believe (hope) most of those who dream about a Mr Rochester would not want him in real life. We have better men to chose among these days :D
In this adaption he is very modernized and therefore interesting. I believe Brontë wanted to make him a man of modern ideas but what was modern 1847 is not today. The idea about the sexy bad ass is only attractive if you fansy to conquer him.
But I love this series because it translates so well into today's ideas without compromizing the time period.
@ThiiNatawii its not that. he is traped in a marrage with an insane woman. he is seeking redemption and a way to live and enjoy life with jane, whom he loves. in the movie as well as the book you can see how conflicted he is. but he decides to try and be happy anyway. it was wrong but who whould begrudge him that?
Their minds fall in love. I just love it. That's how it should be. They really know each other...well, apart from the whole mad wife locked in the tower thing but it all comes out and they still end up together. Definitely one of the best love stories ever and just think, this story was published 164 years ago!
i love how she can have what ever she wants but she sticks with what she only needs like the veil she could have had what every she wanted but she didnt take it :) i love that about her =)
Wondering if maybe this tale didn't start the superstition about seeing the bride in the wedding dress before the wedding... Cuz' this is some damned bad luck, if I do say so myself...
I am writing as someone who has found true love, and want to tell to you all, do NOT give up, and do NOT be satisfied with a luke-warm, mediocre version of the burning love you have in mind, only not to be alone. It IS possible. I wish you all find what you are looking for!
It is his fear of losing Jane that holds him back not wanting to tell Jane. I can assure that it is a hurtful thing for Jane but true love will never fades. In my opinion, Rochester probably thinks that once they get married, he can find a way to explain it to her than, knowing Jane can try at least to be understanding.
I have been following from part 1 till this part plus from reading the comments it is easy to put the blame on Rochester. Thus far, having being falling in love myself and afraid of losing this precious love, I made a mistake too. Humans go through errors in their lifetimes and remember nobody is perfect. I can totally understand this man for not wanting to tell Jane about his wife. We can all see he is head over heels in deep love with Jane. He is afraid he will lose her.
@dedude808 it does it does it does just not in this world. it only exists in paradise from which we are banished because of disobedience. if you do what is right in God's eyes all these thing that we know are right and that we yearn for will materialize albeit not in this world in their full bloom. INNOCENT LOVE IN SCENTED GARDENS OF ETERNITY
i guess what i don't understand is why they care if their marriage is upheld or not, because Bertha is just a servant in his household he doesn't even recognize that they're married, so why can't he be happy?
Ruth Wilson is a very beautiful woman. Besides, in the novel Jane is not declared ugly - but plain. That's a big difference. And after Mr. Rochester proposed to her, she's discribed as prettier than she had been before, because her happiness is radiant. So her looks improve as soon as she can hope for a better future. It has been her loneliness that made her look plain. But I think, one of the main points of the book is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
i do like the fact that they are both good looking (makes it more enjoyable to watch hehe) but i praise the fact that this series and the new movie both still underline that they fell in love with each other's character inside! great book/series/movie :)))
The point of Jane Eyre, for those that clearly did not understand/read the actual novel (yes there was a novel...), is that true human character transcends physical appearance, meaning that, you can be ugly and have a greater fate than an attractive person if you have a beautiful personality. That is why Jane Eyre has to be plain or ugly looking. Because it is her beauty within that whens Rochester over. She said it herself when Rochester asked her if she thought he was handsome.
the thing is that today we have become acquainted with synthetic beauty...the surface kind that can be pampered with make up and plastic surgery and odds and ends of creams and serums. True beauty comes from the inside and shows on the outside. Jane is so beautiful...no, she is not flashy but quite pretty
I love this novel, it's one of my all time favorites. Charlotte Bronte had the ability to make the reader feel as if they actually were Jane Eyre themselves and this film does not disappoint. I remember when it came out, I made my whole family sit down every Sunday to watch it! Ruth Wilson played the part of Jane to perfection! i can't wait to see the motion picture adaptation next month!!!
Even though it is all depressing that Jane and Edward could not marry, I still think it is better that they did not get married at this moment because in the short amount of time that Jane was gone from Thornfield, both she and Edward grew as people!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ok i love this story and i know jane wasnt supposed to be rly beautiful or anything. but bronte never said ANYTHING about her having a duck face 24/7. :[ at 2:04 it looks like a mustache or something
OMG ar u dumbasses serious discussin the fact that she s not pretty.
! thing did u she angelina Jolie in that junkie movie. Ohh yh she was pretty NOT! Jane is a lady she is an actress n she looks plain cuz thats part of the role....djezus fucking christ cant believe this fucking earth!!! how dumb you people are. watch a film with megan fox then u can see a shit film n a pretty plastic face!
Im kinda surprised that so many people think she's not pretty. She's not a beauty queen, she has unique beauty. Anyway her beauty or lack there of it is not the point.
@ClareT994 and if you look up the actress herself, she is quite beautiful. They didn't make her up a ton in the movie because, if you've read the book, the whole point is that Jane was plain and he loved her anyway for her it wasn't about her beauty. I think it's wonderful that they stay so true to the book and help get that message across
I just don't understand how that woman kept getting out of her room. I know Grace Poole would get drunk, but dang. That just means somebody needs to get fired.
There's a line I think of sometimes. It comes from a movie called, "Tim." It's about a very handsome young simple man who falls in love with a middle aged woman who has just been a friend to him. His sister marries and he can't understand why people cry at the wedding. The lady tells him, "someday I hope you're SO happy that you cry." He doesn't get it but does later in their life. Jane reminds me of him. ... Overwhelmed yet still level headed. And R is all of a sudden desperate to leave.
OK several issues: 1 good: the way he compliments her on her beauty and the veil. His voice is so soothing and loving. In a matter of seconds, it becomes harsh and commanding and very deep and he literally drags her out the house. 2 bad: why not take the carriage to the church: quicker and its already packed. 3 bad: how did mason and that man find out about the wedding? who told? why did he wait a month in the first place? why didn't he marry her on the day he proposed or the next?
@BunkerMom i believe in the book, jane writes to her uncle telling him that she is to be married and if i'm not mistaken (it's been a while since i read it) her uncle knows (or works with) mason and tells him about Jane and her marriage.
@hipchix91331 I need to read it. Makes sense.This version makes it so plain that he knows he's taking on God. He's was just hoping that God wouldn't interfer for all he's been through unfairly. It is what we people do. Make deals with God. "Many men have many minds." I've never seen this version and I like it best. R's desperation to marry her and hope, hope all goes well. I don't know if he's thinking completely with his mind. Men sometimes show their feelings best through the physical.
@MsSilentia I've looked and looked but see no swallow. At what line please? It's bothered me that the brother, who knew that the maddness might be passed down, didn't speak then but does now. Is he trying to protect Jane? Does the book say? Is it out of respect for his sister, morals in general or what? And Mr. Briggs is her uncle's lawyer at this time is he not? Why didn't he ask Jane to come meet him in Jamacia if he was so worried about her that he'd have the brother come?
7:22-7:23 It is not easy to see but I fell over it and it seemed very right.
Jane wrote to her uncle about the marriage and since the uncle was a friend of Mason and Mason happened to be with him at the time the whole betrayal was relieved. According to the book was her uncle too ill to go himself. Briggs was the uncle's solicitor and in the book he adviced Jane to stay in England because John Eyre would probably die before she could reach him anyway.
The Mason family were probably anxious to marry of Bertha before it was too late. And Mason loved his sister and obeyed his father. There were some weird standards at the time and an honorable marriage was important. Today the idea to marry a sickening person off and send her away to another part of the world where she knows nobody seems very cruel.
I can imagine Mason wanted to protect his friend's niece. Mind you, his friend's niece, not Jane. That was the ugly standards of the time.
seriously? What a bastard for letting Jane find out about Bertha in this way...ON HER WEDDING DAY!! he had so many chances to tell her! And being so level headed and understanding as she is, she would have handled it better than most women. IMO
I love it in books when you KNOW that two people are going to fall for each other, and just to read how they dance around each other before admitting to their love :D
The kind of love portrayed in Jane Eyre as well as in Jane Austen's books never fails to make me ache for one much alike. They successfully make your heart flutter, only to smash your hopes just as hard afterwards.
She looks so fresh and lovely in her wedding dress...Pity the fairytale had to come crashing down so horribly. Mr. Rochester's illusionary Castle in the Sky has fallen about his ears, mocking him with his secrets and lies!
Whether Rochester is considered bad or not is really up to one's own interpretation. I think that at the end, we're meant to like him. Yes, he did play games, but I think one has to be really harsh not to forgive him. As for Wide Sargasso Sea, it wasn't Charlotte Bronte's work even though it provides a good perspective on what could have been Bertha's life.
@JacobGrimmFollower By virtue of Bertha's description, name and origin it can be assumed she is creole- she is painted as the whore, Jane as the innocent virgin. Its actually quite a racist book as well as a (perhaps inadvertent) depiction of Victorian England as colonizer and oppressor, but most people overlook that in view of the romance.
@marenm3 Oh, I do not pretend that there isn't racism in the book. In fact, it is the only reason why I can't say it is my favorite book of all times, because I do not like the way Rochester speaks of Bertha. But,there are ways in which he could be understood.The circumstances of his marriage, the behavior of his wife, the relationship with his relatives.This all leads to a hatred of the past, to which Bertha is attached. There is racism, but that is not the only reason he could have hated her.
We really can't blame Charlote Bronte for unconsciously absorbing some of the prevailing views of her society. However, in presenting Jane as the equal of Edward Rochester, and in basing Edward's hatred of Bertha on her behavior, Jane Eyre is much more egalitarian than, say, Oliver Twist, whose villain is called The Jew and whose hero isn't really a poor boy but a young gentleman whose identity was hidden from him.
@Morna777 I can only agree with what you're saying.Any writer is influenced by the events and the thinking of the time. However sad or sick they are, they are hard to exclude from one's writing as they were important topics of the era.
@marenm3 The virgin/whore, colonizer/colonized dichotomies are one smart way of reading Bronte's novel. A lot of critics have also explored, quite fruitfully, the ways in which Jane and Bertha are conflated throughout the novel: Jane's preoccupation with the color red is a trope carried over to Bertha, as is the notion of passion exceeding restraint, the cruelty, misogyny, and hypocrisy of Victorian society, etc. Some would say that Bronte complicates the dichotomies as a means to critique them
@Burney1782 I have a bit of an issue with how Bertha is a foreigner of mixed blood. However there is none of the overt racism in Bronte's work that we see in other classic novels, such as Robinson Crusoe (Robinson automatically assumes that Friday is cut out to be his servant / slave). Edward's dislike of Bertha is based on her conduct, not her race. Plus, those responsible for getting Edward into this horrible marriage, including Edward's father, are respectable members of British society.
well....she is really strong person...if i imagine everything what she had to face up in her childhood and then - this hard sittuation during the wedding, the way how she knew the true isn't really nice....
haha what is it with men in these novels. In Jane Austen's P&P Mr. Darcy did a horrible job proposing to Elizabeth and no offence but this has to be the most unromantic wedding ever!!
@surprisedcabbage Bronte didn't write it though. I don't trust any account other than hers, although I accept that we may get a (deliberately) rose-tinted view of Rochester since it is written from Jane's perspective.
Look people who are hating on the fact that the "Jane" Here is not "pretty" - this WHOLE book would be completely different if Jane had been pretty - it takes away from the whole point! How can you guys be so shallow? It's not about her beauty! He stated that her body is a shell (at one point in the book) and though he could shake and keep the cage he would never get at her mind that he loved - he loves HER not physics or eyebrows or a bigger then usual lip - it's beautiful really.
@wendyandpeterpan711 I totally agree! when I first saw this movie, her looks bothered me for some reason....now I regard her as one of the most beautiful people I have ever seen because the idea of beauty should not be a standard to what the widespread media tells you is considered is "hot" or not, but in uniqueness and beauty of character. I don't understand how any man would want a drop dead woman with no substance compared to the superior character of women like Jane Eyre.
I totally agree. I personally have always thought Ruth Wilson has a unique beauty unto herself. First came across her in Luthor. And I think she is a wonderful Jane Eyre.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
UUUUUGH I must exspresse this after watching this far into the show. that chickie, who plays Jane, is soooooooooo ugly, I want to scream!! This movie would be sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better without her spock eye brows and poochie lip!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
@chelseababbiie - its not the eyebrows, it's more her big mouth, I think, and above all the hairstyle!!!! Very unflattering on anyone, that middle parting. Look at pics of Ruth Wilson she looks very pretty with different hair.
@Snezhinka9 Really, you don't like her mouth? I think it's the most sensual part of her face. Her smile might be unusual, but I don't think it's unattractive.
@Sarandib22 - I actually like her smile, but sometimes when she talks (especially when she is crying to Mr. Rochester before he proposes to her) her mouth looks a little too...stretched? I wouldn't say her mouth was unattractive, but rather unusual...in general I think Wilson is very pretty, but that hairstyle wouldn't suit anyone I think. :-)
@Snezhinka9 Lol, I don't think any of us have very attractive mouths when we're sobbing and trying to talk at the same time. You kind of have to do lip contortions. ;) But as for the hair, you're right! I don't know why they ever thought that hairstyle was flattering! But then, I think the same thing when I see people walking around in skinny jeans. ;) I want Jane's graceful skirts! The tops would be more flattering with a different neckline, but the trumpet sleeves are pretty.
I love how he pulls her through the graveyard on the way to the church and she (and we) remain blissfully unaware of what's about to go down. Brontee's use of foreshadowing has been so terrific up to this point...the lightning hitting the tree after the proposal, Mrs. Fairfax in the hallway, the way Jane acts so tentative ("when we marry, *if* we marry, etc.), the bad dream, the ripped veil, and then the dark mysterious figures walking across the lawn...all of it just brilliant!!!
@copnite12342 I am not well versed in the laws of the time period, but I do know divorce was permitted. However, there must have been some caveat for insane spouses, for Mr. Rochestor says, when he's explaining the whole to Jane, he "could not rid myself of it by any legal proceedings: for the doctors now discovered that MY WIFE was mad." I'm not for divorce, but that was stupid considering his circumstances would be grounds for an annulment in basically any religion or legal system today.

i guess what i don't understand is why they care if their marriage is upheld or not, because Bertha is just a servant in his household he doesn't even recognize that they're married, so why can't he be happy?

@morganmae2013 Because Jane is too good, she can't marry a man who already has a living wife (not God's will) She always does "what is right".

Ruth Wilson is a very beautiful woman. Besides, in the novel Jane is not declared ugly - but plain. That's a big difference. And after Mr. Rochester proposed to her, she's discribed as prettier than she had been before, because her happiness is radiant. So her looks improve as soon as she can hope for a better future. It has been her loneliness that made her look plain. But I think, one of the main points of the book is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The point of Jane Eyre, for those that clearly did not understand/read the actual novel (yes there was a novel...), is that true human character transcends physical appearance, meaning that, you can be ugly and have a greater fate than an attractive person if you have a beautiful personality. That is why Jane Eyre has to be plain or ugly looking. Because it is her beauty within that whens Rochester over. She said it herself when Rochester asked her if she thought he was handsome.

the thing is that today we have become acquainted with synthetic beauty...the surface kind that can be pampered with make up and plastic surgery and odds and ends of creams and serums. True beauty comes from the inside and shows on the outside. Jane is so beautiful...no, she is not flashy but quite pretty

I love this novel, it's one of my all time favorites. Charlotte Bronte had the ability to make the reader feel as if they actually were Jane Eyre themselves and this film does not disappoint. I remember when it came out, I made my whole family sit down every Sunday to watch it! Ruth Wilson played the part of Jane to perfection! i can't wait to see the motion picture adaptation next month!!!

Even though it is all depressing that Jane and Edward could not marry, I still think it is better that they did not get married at this moment because in the short amount of time that Jane was gone from Thornfield, both she and Edward grew as people!

@ClareT994 and if you look up the actress herself, she is quite beautiful. They didn't make her up a ton in the movie because, if you've read the book, the whole point is that Jane was plain and he loved her anyway for her it wasn't about her beauty. I think it's wonderful that they stay so true to the book and help get that message across

There's a line I think of sometimes. It comes from a movie called, "Tim." It's about a very handsome young simple man who falls in love with a middle aged woman who has just been a friend to him. His sister marries and he can't understand why people cry at the wedding. The lady tells him, "someday I hope you're SO happy that you cry." He doesn't get it but does later in their life. Jane reminds me of him. ... Overwhelmed yet still level headed. And R is all of a sudden desperate to leave.

OK several issues: 1 good: the way he compliments her on her beauty and the veil. His voice is so soothing and loving. In a matter of seconds, it becomes harsh and commanding and very deep and he literally drags her out the house. 2 bad: why not take the carriage to the church: quicker and its already packed. 3 bad: how did mason and that man find out about the wedding? who told? why did he wait a month in the first place? why didn't he marry her on the day he proposed or the next?
BunkerMom 1 year ago
@BunkerMom i believe in the book, jane writes to her uncle telling him that she is to be married and if i'm not mistaken (it's been a while since i read it) her uncle knows (or works with) mason and tells him about Jane and her marriage.
hipchix91331 1 year ago 2
@hipchix91331 I need to read it. Makes sense.This version makes it so plain that he knows he's taking on God. He's was just hoping that God wouldn't interfer for all he's been through unfairly. It is what we people do. Make deals with God. "Many men have many minds." I've never seen this version and I like it best. R's desperation to marry her and hope, hope all goes well. I don't know if he's thinking completely with his mind. Men sometimes show their feelings best through the physical.

@MsSilentia I've looked and looked but see no swallow. At what line please? It's bothered me that the brother, who knew that the maddness might be passed down, didn't speak then but does now. Is he trying to protect Jane? Does the book say? Is it out of respect for his sister, morals in general or what? And Mr. Briggs is her uncle's lawyer at this time is he not? Why didn't he ask Jane to come meet him in Jamacia if he was so worried about her that he'd have the brother come?
Songsmirth 1 year ago
@Songsmirth
7:22-7:23 It is not easy to see but I fell over it and it seemed very right.
Jane wrote to her uncle about the marriage and since the uncle was a friend of Mason and Mason happened to be with him at the time the whole betrayal was relieved. According to the book was her uncle too ill to go himself. Briggs was the uncle's solicitor and in the book he adviced Jane to stay in England because John Eyre would probably die before she could reach him anyway.
MsSilentia 1 year ago
The Mason family were probably anxious to marry of Bertha before it was too late. And Mason loved his sister and obeyed his father. There were some weird standards at the time and an honorable marriage was important. Today the idea to marry a sickening person off and send her away to another part of the world where she knows nobody seems very cruel.
I can imagine Mason wanted to protect his friend's niece. Mind you, his friend's niece, not Jane. That was the ugly standards of the time.

seriously? What a bastard for letting Jane find out about Bertha in this way...ON HER WEDDING DAY!! he had so many chances to tell her! And being so level headed and understanding as she is, she would have handled it better than most women. IMO

Whether Rochester is considered bad or not is really up to one's own interpretation. I think that at the end, we're meant to like him. Yes, he did play games, but I think one has to be really harsh not to forgive him. As for Wide Sargasso Sea, it wasn't Charlotte Bronte's work even though it provides a good perspective on what could have been Bertha's life.
JacobGrimmFollower 1 year ago 2
@JacobGrimmFollower By virtue of Bertha's description, name and origin it can be assumed she is creole- she is painted as the whore, Jane as the innocent virgin. Its actually quite a racist book as well as a (perhaps inadvertent) depiction of Victorian England as colonizer and oppressor, but most people overlook that in view of the romance.
marenm3 1 year ago
@marenm3 Oh, I do not pretend that there isn't racism in the book. In fact, it is the only reason why I can't say it is my favorite book of all times, because I do not like the way Rochester speaks of Bertha. But,there are ways in which he could be understood.The circumstances of his marriage, the behavior of his wife, the relationship with his relatives.This all leads to a hatred of the past, to which Bertha is attached. There is racism, but that is not the only reason he could have hated her.
JacobGrimmFollower 1 year ago
We really can't blame Charlote Bronte for unconsciously absorbing some of the prevailing views of her society. However, in presenting Jane as the equal of Edward Rochester, and in basing Edward's hatred of Bertha on her behavior, Jane Eyre is much more egalitarian than, say, Oliver Twist, whose villain is called The Jew and whose hero isn't really a poor boy but a young gentleman whose identity was hidden from him.
Morna777 1 year ago
@Morna777 I can only agree with what you're saying.Any writer is influenced by the events and the thinking of the time. However sad or sick they are, they are hard to exclude from one's writing as they were important topics of the era.
JacobGrimmFollower 1 year ago
@marenm3 The virgin/whore, colonizer/colonized dichotomies are one smart way of reading Bronte's novel. A lot of critics have also explored, quite fruitfully, the ways in which Jane and Bertha are conflated throughout the novel: Jane's preoccupation with the color red is a trope carried over to Bertha, as is the notion of passion exceeding restraint, the cruelty, misogyny, and hypocrisy of Victorian society, etc. Some would say that Bronte complicates the dichotomies as a means to critique them
Burney1782 1 year ago
@Burney1782 I have a bit of an issue with how Bertha is a foreigner of mixed blood. However there is none of the overt racism in Bronte's work that we see in other classic novels, such as Robinson Crusoe (Robinson automatically assumes that Friday is cut out to be his servant / slave). Edward's dislike of Bertha is based on her conduct, not her race. Plus, those responsible for getting Edward into this horrible marriage, including Edward's father, are respectable members of British society.

Look people who are hating on the fact that the "Jane" Here is not "pretty" - this WHOLE book would be completely different if Jane had been pretty - it takes away from the whole point! How can you guys be so shallow? It's not about her beauty! He stated that her body is a shell (at one point in the book) and though he could shake and keep the cage he would never get at her mind that he loved - he loves HER not physics or eyebrows or a bigger then usual lip - it's beautiful really.
wendyandpeterpan711 1 year ago 209
@wendyandpeterpan711 I totally agree! when I first saw this movie, her looks bothered me for some reason....now I regard her as one of the most beautiful people I have ever seen because the idea of beauty should not be a standard to what the widespread media tells you is considered is "hot" or not, but in uniqueness and beauty of character. I don't understand how any man would want a drop dead woman with no substance compared to the superior character of women like Jane Eyre.

But then, I think the same thing when I see people walking around in skinny jeans. ;) I want Jane's graceful skirts! The tops would be more flattering with a different neckline, but the trumpet sleeves are pretty.

I love how he pulls her through the graveyard on the way to the church and she (and we) remain blissfully unaware of what's about to go down. Brontee's use of foreshadowing has been so terrific up to this point...the lightning hitting the tree after the proposal, Mrs. Fairfax in the hallway, the way Jane acts so tentative ("when we marry, *if* we marry, etc.), the bad dream, the ripped veil, and then the dark mysterious figures walking across the lawn...all of it just brilliant!!!

@copnite12342 I am not well versed in the laws of the time period, but I do know divorce was permitted. However, there must have been some caveat for insane spouses, for Mr. Rochestor says, when he's explaining the whole to Jane, he "could not rid myself of it by any legal proceedings: for the doctors now discovered that MY WIFE was mad." I'm not for divorce, but that was stupid considering his circumstances would be grounds for an annulment in basically any religion or legal system today.
