    Hey Guys
    The little CC button at the bottom of the video is for subtitles; for those of you having trouble hearing the man... :D

    Thank you for this very sensitive and perceptive video. I love the Bronte sisters, the soul and uninhibited passion they express in their great tales. I especially love Jane Eyre! 🌹❤️

    I love the music in the background and of course the whole critical analyse

    I enjoyed the video, but only after reading the comment section I understood that I shouldn't have heard what the man was saying and supposedly the music is too loud...

    It would been interesting if Charlotte had read Sense and Sensibility or Persuasion instead. Austen could portray passion and longing. Marianne was quite emotional, and Anne suffered from unrequited love in a similar way to Jane Eyre. Anne had to watch the man she loved flirt with other women and ignore her. I might also add that Jane Austen wrote about a governess marrying into the gentry first. In Emma, Mrs. Weston (nee Taylor) had been Emma's governess before marrying Mr. Weston. It was the one marital match Emma got right.

    Thank you! I really enjoy these films, but the background music is a little to loud making it hard to hear what the people are saying.

    It's very interesting, shame the music is too loud and he is wispering.

    I had to turn up the volume so much that my neighbours sued me. Now I´m in jail, but it was worth listening to it.

    Wow. I feel like for the first time in my life I've heard a commentary on Jane Eyre that gets it. It's goals are so completely different from Jane Austen- or from any romance novel I'm familiar with... Calling what is obviously a whole. Life. Story. A romance totally rubs me the wrong way to begin with and backs certain commentators into a corner of explaining... You know... Everything else in the novel. Obviously he said it all better than I possibly could but at least I can say well done.

    I am happy to see that I am not the only one who had a hard time hearing what he was saying.

    I can hear the spoken remarks, but the music adds nothing. It’s repetitive, trivial and completely without musical interest - akin to “elevator music.”
