I love how Mrs Fairfax is looking very confused at R and J conversation around 3:28.

@Jennytheshipper - I don't think this is fair. Compared to the whole "Jane Eyre" (1983) and more than a few scenes of "Jane Eyre" (2006) (just to name the other BBC TV adaptations of the novel...), the lighting of "Jane Eyre" (1973) is quite good.

[Jennytheshipper]

I know it is the seventies and they had no choice for television, but the lighting is rather like my office at work.

It is an Irishwolfhound, indeed!

I truly recommend you to buy the DVD if you like the excerpts here on YT and if you want to see all five episodes. In my opinion the DVD is worth every coin spent on it.

Although this adaptation sometimes suffers from low budget, they have paid attention to small details in the novel which makes this miniseries so great.. One example is that ring which is, as you probably know, mentioned by Jane when the gipsy reveals the disguise: '[...] a broad ring flashed on the little finger, and stooping forward, I looked at it, and saw a gem I had seen a hundred times before.' (Ch. XIX)

Now that's some bling he's wearing on his pinky! Where can I watch the whole thing? Looks really good;)

Not being an English native speaker myself, I have to confess that I find it quite hard to understand the full meaning of this comment of yours.

Anyway, about the dowry and the estates, since Jamaica became a British colony in 1670 and "Jane Eyre" is supposed to have happened in the 1820s or the 1830s, I can't imagine how could Bertha Mason's interests rely on other than the British Law...

[VolkgartenBySquirrel]

Hi again: re dowry and estates - and marriages made for connection - do Bertha's interests rely on British law or Spanish law? Re the attic - what would be the nature of the relationship which would cause one to assume such an awful responsibility? (Blood debt or marriage debt?) Re glittering gold - with it's centuries of social and material acquisitions, Thornfield must seem grand, and the attn's of its master glamorous, but gold has been charmed before - ie, Rochester has been impetuous.
