The Seduction of Jane Eyre

Depending on who you are, this music video might be a little bit of a mind-warping experience. It came out of my utter disbelief that Jane managed to walk away a virgin* from those flash back scenes on the bed with Rochester in the fourth episode of the BBC's 2006 adaptation of Jane Eyre. My apologies that this means there is now yet ANOTHER Jane Eyre music video on the web, but hopefully you'll find this a little bit different.

*This comment seems to have caused a certain amount of confusion and misunderstanding. Clearly, I do believe it happened, particularly having read the book before even seeing this adaptation. It's really that I'm more surprised that you see the pair of them rolling around on her bed. In the book, this scene happened in the library and I doubt Rochester was quite so "persuasive". I suppose my point is, had the Jane of the book been put in the position she was in the adaptation (which she would never have allowed to happen I suspect) would she really have been able to resist? Well, something like that anyway.

Disclaimer: I do not own or claim to own any of the material used in making this video. All the footage is the property of the BBC and the music is 'Angel' as performed by Massive Attack. My only input was how the material has been edited in this particular instance.

This video has the wrong title. It shouldn't be 'The Seduction of Jane Eyre' but rather, 'The Seduction of the Female Population.'

Good lord, Mr.Rochester...

JANE WAS NEVER SEDUCED BY ROCHESTER THEY ONLY SHARED A GREAT ROMANCE LIKE NO OTHER AND THEY ARE SO DEEPLY IN LOVE.THIS IS REAL UNSELFISH LOVE WHICH A PERSON FEELS ONLY ONCE IN HIS LIFE.JANE EYRE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GREAT INSPIRSTION THROUGHOUT MY LIFE.I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE LIKE HER

I read the book, and I think people were very prudish at the time it was written.  They would have been shocked and would have lost respect for Jane if she had lost her virginity before marriage.
