@@AmethystEyesYeah, I love this version of it, but it makes it hard to believe Jane doesn't catch the drift 😂 Couldn't have her understand until The Big Scene, I guess
This scene shows so well what attracts Rochester to Jane. Her innocence, purity, tranquillity, and moral strength. Everything he himself lost on the way, and longs to have back.
Jane: And if the Lady is of noble stock and has indicated that she may reciprocate... Rochester: Jane of WHOM do you think I speak?!?! Jane: Of the girl you've been parading around under my nose here for weeks Rochester: *pissed off*
If I recall correctly from the novel, Mr. Rochester's eyes were supposed to be almost unbearably intense, which Fassbender nails perfectly. I'm not sure the colour of them is all that important. I think this production is spot of with the intended atmosphere of Bronte's work. Also the language is excellent.
The cinematography of this one is what beats all the rest. And I love that both of them try to speak with a nothern dialect (not too familiar with them so can't tell if they nail it).
I don't understand why some people don't think she was a good Jane. I've read the book more than I can say and truly in the way she is written and the image of her in my mind she is a mixture of quiet/ restrained and passionate. This Jane is lovely, just a different interpretation, buy a different actress.
I thought Mia WAS Jane. ;) Very close to what I imagined Jane would be. Fassbender is great as Rochester, but I prefer Orson Welles. He was THE Rochester same way Mia W. is Jane in my mind.
Mia IS Jane Eyre in my mind. I've read the book multiple times and seen many adaptations, but it wasn't until this movie that I felt like I was seeing the spirit of Jane Eyre (of Charlotte Bronte). She just nailed the Jane of the book.
The problem isn't her, it's the fact that the movie cannot delve into the character very much. Anyone who plays the role in a movie will usually be perceived as not understanding the character because they're not given the script that has as in-depth scenes as the book. If the actress is in a mini-series, that's a better option since they can explore the character more.
Zulaikha Noori I think she has the best screen depiction too. She was so fragile but strong despite her small appearance. And everything else you said. She was simply stunning, I really like mia's acting in general

his acting is great, but he is too handsome to be mr Rochester
Too handsome? Have you seen Timothy Dalton in the 1983 version? You would swoon!
7 ปีที่แล้ว +56
Tim is the best Mr. Rochester, he suits perfectly for the role, but i don't think he's handsome in version 1983 (sorry who love Tim, but i just say my opinion), especially in comparison to Michael, one of the sexiest men in the world
Thảo Vy Spot on on Tim being the best Rochester true to the book. But he is quite good looking too, just different than Fassbender. 'Sides, nobody wants to watch ugly Rochesters! It IS a romantic movie after all.
Steve Beswick I keep hearing he was the truest to the book. How do you reckon? Will Hurt seems truest to me but it's been a while since I saw any of those versions.
Just want yet another adaptation of Jane Eyre, Pride & Prejudice etc., at this point I have accepted that each version will have its pros and cons. I enjoy exploring different versions.
Rochester falls in love with Jane because she is excactly the opposite of his wife. She is honest, sane, good hearted, innocent and without deceit. His wife was " foul- mouthed, promiscous, deceitfull and mad." But all that Rochester loves about Jane he would destroy if he persuaded her to compromize on her integrity and live in bigamy.
Also because she is unlike the other mistresses he has had before. She does not have any sexual experience and she thinks intellectually. I think these peculiar traits of her drew him into her.
@@artemesia5052 Jane is a extremely well educated lady. The only gift her Aunt gave her was a good education as her it was her Aunt who saw Jane liked to read books. Plus school would get her away from her other children who could not settle with her and vice vera.
I don't know how much this will make sense but... whenever I read Jane Eyre and then watch a movie adaptation, there's always some kind of dissonance between what I'm reading on the page and what I'm seeing... either the casting is all wrong or the general atmosphere of the movie is off. This is the first Jane Eyre adaptation where I felt like the book and movie were working together, meant to be read and then watched. :D it's absolutely perfect.
I agree with you - this is the only adaptation I've seen that I felt captured the spirit and atmosphere of the book. Most everything else tends to portray it as some kind of melodramatic romance, but it's much more than that. This movie does credit to Charlotte Bronte.
Well i felt like that with 1983 version. It is so faithful to the book and Timothy Dalton is really a great rochester, but this version is also good. :-)
Cary Fukunaga really captured the visual and emotional atmosphere -the feel of the book if you will- that Charlotte goes to great lengths to describe in her writing. This is exactly how i imagined everything when i read the book. Especially Mia. If only this was a mini series instead of a movie, then they wouldnt have had to cut the lovely banter between the two.
@cellowali2865 Yes! To me, the only version I can feel authentic with is the Timothy Dalton one. Seems people today are so accustomed to marriages of convenience, practicality (children), and "mutual benefit" that they have no idea how true love with passionate feeling really looks.
He is talking about how he was depressed until he came back to Thornfield and met someone who he thinks he loves. He asks Jane if she thinks it is wrong to go against custom to marry the woman and she responds that if the woman is of noble birth and would agree then why not. he asks who she is talking about (for he was talking about Jane) and she responds with Miss Ingram. He continues on talking about Jane but letting her think he is talking about Miss Ingram.
1%? Mr Rochester is between a cliff and a hard rock or sth, my lovely... 😐Fictional hero, unfortunately... And Jane IS a feminist, she holds her own, I don't know what book people who comment above actually read... 🙄
The way they handled the Blanche-Jane-Rochester love triangle was so confusing in this movie.. they made it seem like Rochester genuinely didn't understand why Jane thought he liked Blanche!! Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't he purposely invite Blanche over to make Jane jealous and eventually force her to admit that she loves him?? Wasn't that the whoooole point of having Blanche over?
he literally does, he does so many dumb ass things to get Jane to admit her feelings or just make her jealous, and the way this movie handled all of it is one of the many reasons I can't really warm to this version of Jane Eyre
"Well, I feigned courtship with Miss Ingram, because I wished to render you as madly in love with me as I with you; and I knew jealousy would be the best ally I could call in for the furtherance of that end." So the answer is yes, he did.
I’m currently reading the book right now but saw this movie a few months ago. I loved this adaptation but have to agree that I was confused at Mr. Rochester showing off Blanche to Jane, and how suddenly it was Jane he loved. So apparently he was trying to use the jealousy tactic (still haven’t gotten to that part, but I’m fine with the spoiler). Thanks to this comment though. Helps me with reviewing the clips.
Rochester was supposed to be not good looking. But this Rochester I can't bear him. Hes such a beautiful man and those eyes....oh those eyes...I gush at this man.
She's my favorite Jane. Her silence and soft voice are more powerful/sweet/natural, etc. than the theatrical austerity, hard shell, etc. you see in other interpretations by book and film. They are themselves first, English second or fourth.
"and if the lady is of noble stock and she has indicated that she may reciprocate".......truly innocent response. God, were that my lovely and my intended! what lines and what insight!
This version and the Timothy Dalton versions are my favorite. The Dalton version is very faithful to the spirit of the book, but the Michael Fassbender version is captivating with the emotional longing and pain that Jane feels. Also excellent in the modern context of Jane's morals. Today's women would have no problem being with a partner without marriage, especially with Fassbender. Though admittedly both Rochesters are too handsome per the book. But who really wants to see ugly Rochesters in a movie anyway. Much rather swoon.
I hated the way they ended this movie. It was so abrupt. Overall it was a good adaption but I always thought the actress was too conventionally pretty for Jane. I think the 2006 version with Ruth Wilson is the best version. She was perfect as Jane, as was Toby Stevens as Rochester.
Lauranna I hate the versions that don’t go into the finally chapter! “Reader, I married him.” is such a famous line for a reason! People like happy endings! Would it have been so hard to add in a 10 second clip of them just being happy with their kids? I love the 2011, cinematically it’s gorgeous. Thematically, it actually captures the gothic horror element of the novel like no other adaptation (though some of those best scenes got deleted). I personally loved Mia’s performance (and Fassbender). But 2006 will always be the best because of Ruth and Toby’s chemistry. The final ~20 minutes of the series where you actually get the emotional payoff of the characters being happy and in love? Why do directors not get that we want to see that!
I like the way she portrayed Jane, the only thing lacking is her wittiness, which is more the fault of the script writers then hers. Jane may have been quiet but her intelligence and humor was shown in what she said rather then how she said it. I think taking that away made this portrayal of Jane Abit boring.
I like Mia Wasikowska. I loved her in Alice in Wonderland. In this scene she stays cautious because his actions are not aligned with his words...but she is honest with him and tells him she would do anything for him because she loves him...❤💗😘
Understandably so. though. You need to remember that Jane is only supposed to be eighteen or nineteen years old and she has very little experience of the world. She hasn't encountered very many men in her life at all -- and most of the ones whom she's been acquainted with have been very unkind to her. Also, at the time in which the story takes place, men of Mr. Rochester's standing generally didn't treat a governess as if she were an equal -- let alone regard her as a suitable marriage prospect. At best, most men of his standing would (and sometimes did) attempt to seduce the governess and persuade her to become his mistress -- but they would never consider marrying her. Actually, being a governess back then was a very difficult job because governesses were socially isolated -- a governess was considered to be of a higher status than the servants but of a lower status than the family who employed her, which meant that it was difficult for her to find real friends in the household.
Bobsuruncle Mum Actually, yes -- this conversation does take place in canon. This must be the conversation following the scene in which Jane helps Rochester care for Mason after he was attacked, because they're in the garden and both are in nightclothes. Jane at this point is under the impression that Grace Poole is the one who attacked Mason -- she doesn't yet know that Rochester is married and that his wife is insane. Jane also doesn't realize that she and not Miss Ingram is the woman he's talking about. The "conventional impediment" of which he speaks is primarily Jane's status as a governess (which back then would actually have been a significant obstacle because they're of different social classes) -- but it also refers to the fact that he doesn't regard his marriage as truly being legitimate since he was deliberately tricked into marrying a madwoman incapable of fulfilling her role as his wife appropriately. Rochester knows that he's already married in the eyes of humanity (the law, the church, society, etc.) but is trying to convince himself that in the eyes of God, there's no reason why he cannot love and marry Jane because he was persuaded to enter his first marriage under false pretenses and would not have chosen to do so if he had been allowed to know the truth.
OreadNYC Great explanation. Also the reason why he asks what she would do to "secure his happiness." I feel like he was almost asking "would you love me no matter what?" Because he has this enormous secret & wants to justify lying to her
I've watched several clips from this version of Jane Eyre. The characters are one dimensional in every scene, always somber, never a change in emotion. It has a dark, depressed feel to it. And, yet, these are two outstanding actors. This could have had a lot of chemistry. What gives?
Tina Huston watch the whole movie! Watching clips is a totally different experience. I was obsessed w the BBC version w Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens until I saw this. This is on another level. So beautiful.
Tina Huston yes you ought to watch the whole movie, there are some instances where there is more passion or emotion, I think they were just trying to follow the book as much as possible, personally I felt the book itself was dark and depressed, too.
The movie's a masterpiece, and Mia and Fassbender deliver great performances - watch the film. Still, people have different tastes, but this movie is worth giving it a chance to work its magic on you.
I like some parts of most of the Jane Eyre movies I've seen, but the best and most accurate so far is the BBC production with Timothy Dalton as Mr. Rochester. It was absolutely perfect.
Was Mr Rochester 'ugly' in the book?His interaction with Jane is what grips you because of the light and dark shades of his character. He is a 'rough diamond' and is abrupt, forward and arguably, rude... but there is a softer more vulnerable side to him that is, heart breaking and endearing. He is the Beast hahahaha Fassbender is good-looking, sure but he isn't handsome in the traditional, archetypal... arguably - cliche sense of the word. This movie was darker and his portrayal of Rochester was second to none. He certainly captured the character's intense gravitas & his inner torment- yearning for love and redemption but finding himself trapped. I enjoyed this film, however, I still prefer the BBC series adaptation with Ruth Wilson & Toby Stevens. Not only was their chemistry... *everything* but Stevens' portrayal of Rochester was, to me, faithful to the nuances of his character in the book. Stevens conveyed the right balance of light/dark aspects of Rochester's innate being, and the interaction between the two is what endears him to reader/viewer. *Looks*... the physical appearance - to both character's is an afterthought and personally, i'm HERE FOR IT!
@rebe1angel yeah I agree. I know you shouldn't compare versions, but in the 2005 version there was so much passion in the "why must you leave" scene. It was incredible. That scene in this version convinced me not to see this movie.
Okay, not sure if the last sentence was appropriate! It would have made me run away from him. 2 reasons, it felt a little creepy, and made me feel he only wanted me because I never been with another man etc. lol
I'm excited to read the book. But I must say, I'm a little more disappointed with him after seeing the deleted scenes. I didn't realize he had so many flings with girls. It makes it seem like he's not as serious about this new fresh girl.
@@blaineeh Yes, it explains it very well, after the secret has been revealed and Rochester talked to Jane. He told her everything and what led him to do the things he did. :)
Im sorry, and i appreciate how they're trying to do this remake differently from the original, but after seeing Timothy Dalton express these same scenes and lines with such passion, these actors seem like they're just reading lines in monotone. I mean, by comparison. Only one like? Thanks. Clearly, none of you have seen the movie (with real feelings) that made me cry more than Titanic.
Mr. Rochester is supposed to have black eyes. Sorry that really bothered me seeing as how its one of his key features. The description they gave of Miss Ingram and Mr. Rochester in the book don't suit the characters here. Oh well.
Believed it or not but its more than one roschester jane speaks to old one got sick family came took him away second one middle age he too was eventually taken away (priest was more human. Meaning unkown)
I just watched the 2011 movie on Netflix and was interested in understanding the character of Mr. Rochester. Is it just me, or does Mr. Rochester come across as a self-centered selfish man who only wants Jane as an escape from his mess? I question, does Mr. Rochester ever love Jane, or does he only love what Jane can provide him? Also, the way he treats his daughter Adele is troubling, since she can’t give him anything worth value in his eyes, he discards her. This comes across as very militant and narcissistic, traits that women need to watch out for. In addition, Mr. Rochester also shows traits of manipulation and deceit, where he lies to Jane, plays with her emotions, and then threatens her with violence when she leaves. I understand Mr. Rochester is deserving of slight sympathy, but should Jane have really returned to him.
Mr. Rochester isn't a good man, he is a scoundrel, deceiver, liar and very selfish person at starting. He didn't really love Jane in the starting, he actually wanted to have possession over her, his own words in proposal scene were " I want to have you for my own entirely my own". But when Jane left him, only then he realised what true love is, and he did humble down in the end when he lost his wealth and vision and got crippled. So Rochester needs to be pitied only in the end, otherwise he isn't really a romantic character. He didn't like Adele because back then there was no technology of DNA testing and he caught Celine varens having affair with one young man, so he wasn't really sure if Adele was his own child or someone else. That's the reason why he wasn't much affectionate towards Adele.
The lovers of this book, you need to read Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys to have a completely altered perspective to this famous Novel- Jane Eyre and of course not forgetting to mention the hidden truth of Rochester.
haha "she's a rare one. fresh and healthy. without soil or taint. I'm sure she will regenerate me with a vengence" hes so naughty really. shes his staff. she knows just because she was born wealthy doesnt mean its okay for him to hit on her. she cant behave like other women of her class and background. and he has been a player. do men change?

This must be the conversation following the scene in which Jane helps Rochester care for Mason after he was attacked, because they're in the garden and both are in nightclothes. Jane at this point is under the impression that Grace Poole is the one who attacked Mason -- she doesn't yet know that Rochester is married and that his wife is insane. Jane also doesn't realize that she and not Miss Ingram is the woman he's talking about.
The "conventional impediment" of which he speaks is primarily Jane's status as a governess (which back then would actually have been a significant obstacle because they're of different social classes) -- but it also refers to the fact that he doesn't regard his marriage as truly being legitimate since he was deliberately tricked into marrying a madwoman incapable of fulfilling her role as his wife appropriately. Rochester knows that he's already married in the eyes of humanity (the law, the church, society, etc.) but is trying to convince himself that in the eyes of God, there's no reason why he cannot love and marry Jane because he was persuaded to enter his first marriage under false pretenses and would not have chosen to do so if he had been allowed to know the truth.
OreadNYC Oh wow. That's informative and I thank you very much. I understand it better. I need to read this book.
OreadNYC Great explanation. Also the reason why he asks what she would do to "secure his happiness." I feel like he was almost asking "would you love me no matter what?" Because he has this enormous secret & wants to justify lying to her
This is so bittersweet. I admire Jane for being able to do the right thing, it is so easy to choose what Mr Rochester did.
did he just say "...I'm sure she'll regenerate me with a vengeance..."??? *cough**choke**blush*
Yes he clearly a a type of timelord.
The best actors for this movie. I've seen this before with other actors but yeah, this is cool! :)
"I'm sure she will regenerate me with a vengeance." 🔥🔥🔥
The chemistry!
I've watched several clips from this version of Jane Eyre. The characters are one dimensional in every scene, always somber, never a change in emotion. It has a dark, depressed feel to it. And, yet, these are two outstanding actors. This could have had a lot of chemistry. What gives?
Tina Huston watch the whole movie! Watching clips is a totally different experience. I was obsessed w the BBC version w Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens until I saw this. This is on another level. So beautiful.
Tina Huston yes you ought to watch the whole movie, there are some instances where there is more passion or emotion, I think they were just trying to follow the book as much as possible, personally I felt the book itself was dark and depressed, too.
Wow you haven't actually seen the movie and your judging it?
watch it and your opinion may change
The movie's a masterpiece, and Mia and Fassbender deliver great performances - watch the film. Still, people have different tastes, but this movie is worth giving it a chance to work its magic on you.
I ought to watch paint dry as well.
I like some parts of most of the Jane Eyre movies I've seen, but the best and most accurate so far is the BBC production with Timothy Dalton as Mr. Rochester. It was absolutely perfect.
That gaze at the end as if she was a rabbit caught in a trap 😆
The BBC miniseries is the best adaptation for me. It is dark and moody just like Rochester. I love all 8hrs of it. Lol!
Was Mr Rochester 'ugly' in the book?His interaction with Jane is what grips you because of the light and dark shades of his character. He is a 'rough diamond' and is abrupt, forward and arguably, rude... but there is a softer more vulnerable side to him that is, heart breaking and endearing. He is the Beast hahahaha Fassbender is good-looking, sure but he isn't handsome in the traditional, archetypal... arguably - cliche sense of the word. This movie was darker and his portrayal of Rochester was second to none. He certainly captured the character's intense gravitas & his inner torment- yearning for love and redemption but finding himself trapped. I enjoyed this film, however, I still prefer the BBC series adaptation with Ruth Wilson & Toby Stevens. Not only was their chemistry... *everything* but Stevens' portrayal of Rochester was, to me, faithful to the nuances of his character in the book. Stevens conveyed the right balance of light/dark aspects of Rochester's innate being, and the interaction between the two is what endears him to reader/viewer. *Looks*... the physical appearance - to both character's is an afterthought and personally, i'm HERE FOR IT!
They are both fantastic actors !
'All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me -e-e-e'
1:05 That subtle eyebrow movement. 😍
"I would do anything for you"
"You transfixed me quite"
They nailed it, such a great actors.
Those intense eyes and outstanding voice
0:28 I'd die if someone would look at me like that
I relate to his life. I wanted a Pride and Prejudice love story but got a Jane Eyre in the life of Mr. Rochester, lol.
Favorite scene from a perfect movie.
"I would do anything for you, sir. Anything that was right."
oops...
She’s hilariously naive not clocking who he’s on about 😂
She has no experience lol give her a break.😂
Michael Fassbender is so handsome
Jane too is too much beautiful, but anyway they are great...they make me want that kind of love!
I love Michael Fassbender oh my goddddd
0:45 he was doing the drew scanlon meme, i can imagine "wait what" going through his head
Anyone else disappointed that MeatLoaf wasn't playing in the background?
Mr. Rochester here looks like an amish man😂
@rebe1angel yeah I agree. I know you shouldn't compare versions, but in the 2005 version there was so much passion in the "why must you leave" scene. It was incredible. That scene in this version convinced me not to see this movie.
The scene in the Timothy Dalton version where she leaves made me cry every time, even more than Titanic. A living death is the worst kind.
This scene is one of d best ..
I love Jane and Rochester he's soo handsome and I love his character and Janes
The Best of Jane Eyre, of All Jane Eyre.
Okay, not sure if the last sentence was appropriate! It would have made me run away from him. 2 reasons, it felt a little creepy, and made me feel he only wanted me because I never been with another man etc. lol
My favorite adaptation.
No, no and no. Rochester was dark and brooding. Even Toby Stephens dyed his light hair black. This movie is great for people who didn't read the book.
I'm excited to read the book. But I must say, I'm a little more disappointed with him after seeing the deleted scenes. I didn't realize he had so many flings with girls. It makes it seem like he's not as serious about this new fresh girl.
I assume you've read the book now and understand Rochester better. :)
@@janeeyre-quotes no! I started and then got busy. I'll have to start again!!
@@janeeyre-quotes does it explain that in the books?
@@blaineeh Yes, it explains it very well, after the secret has been revealed and Rochester talked to Jane. He told her everything and what led him to do the things he did. :)
"You transfix me quite"
Im sorry, and i appreciate how they're trying to do this remake differently from the original, but after seeing Timothy Dalton express these same scenes and lines with such passion, these actors seem like they're just reading lines in monotone. I mean, by comparison.
Only one like? Thanks. Clearly, none of you have seen the movie (with real feelings) that made me cry more than Titanic.
I felt the same thing to be honest
Jane: I would do anything for you, sir
Mr. Rochester: Yes!
Jane: Anything that was right
Mr. Rochester Ohh...
Another of my fav films and the next Barr for stage fassbender ✌ blackaggie 🖤.
Watched that scene a hundred times, but somehow I miss Jane's admission...
Mr Rochester...the character buried in my soul n breath....
His eyes!!!!!
My favorite
A mere conventional impediment aka I'm married. LOL
The best scene in the picture!
He just perfect ♥️😭
“A mere conventional impediment” um yeah man “mere” yourE MARRIED!
What if they kissed at that very moment. What if he confess that he is in love with her.
If greta thundberg acted in a period drama this is what she'd look like
Goddamn Michael Fassbender’s got the sexiest eyes in the world. Such a daddy 🤪
2011 is my favorite since the first I rate this one excellent however I've not seen it for free yet
haaaaaaa this movie has so much romantic tension and 18t century sensibility in it. It makes me quiver.
Mr. Rochester is supposed to have black eyes. Sorry that really bothered me seeing as how its one of his key features. The description they gave of Miss Ingram and Mr. Rochester in the book don't suit the characters here. Oh well.
My favorite scene.
I have no idea as to wtf just happened
Believed it or not but its more than one roschester jane speaks to old one got sick family came took him away second one middle age he too was eventually taken away (priest was more human. Meaning unkown)
Sigh.. a perfect Rochester. Don't know about the Jane tho. She did her best nyways
I wanted to hate this version but the only critique I could have would be they're both hot.
And her hair colour.
Sorry but i don't mia wasikowaska hot all. He on the other hand is gorgeous.
It was so incredibly hard to read this part of the book gosh
I just watched the 2011 movie on Netflix and was interested in understanding the character of Mr. Rochester. Is it just me, or does Mr. Rochester come across as a self-centered selfish man who only wants Jane as an escape from his mess? I question, does Mr. Rochester ever love Jane, or does he only love what Jane can provide him? Also, the way he treats his daughter Adele is troubling, since she can’t give him anything worth value in his eyes, he discards her. This comes across as very militant and narcissistic, traits that women need to watch out for. In addition, Mr. Rochester also shows traits of manipulation and deceit, where he lies to Jane, plays with her emotions, and then threatens her with violence when she leaves. I understand Mr. Rochester is deserving of slight sympathy, but should Jane have really returned to him.
Mr. Rochester isn't a good man, he is a scoundrel, deceiver, liar and very selfish person at starting. He didn't really love Jane in the starting, he actually wanted to have possession over her, his own words in proposal scene were " I want to have you for my own entirely my own". But when Jane left him, only then he realised what true love is, and he did humble down in the end when he lost his wealth and vision and got crippled. So Rochester needs to be pitied only in the end, otherwise he isn't really a romantic character. He didn't like Adele because back then there was no technology of DNA testing and he caught Celine varens having affair with one young man, so he wasn't really sure if Adele was his own child or someone else. That's the reason why he wasn't much affectionate towards Adele.
Is anyone not aware that Mr. Rochester is 43 and Eyre is 22 or something?
Both adults and in those days VERY normal. I guess you aren't aware of that.
@@sabrinashelton1997 Yeah, I know.
I think Jane is eighteen and Edward is about forty . But in this scene she is older than him
The lovers of this book, you need to read Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys to have a completely altered perspective to this famous Novel- Jane Eyre and of course not forgetting to mention the hidden truth of Rochester.
I would do anything for you Mr. Rochester
haha "she's a rare one. fresh and healthy. without soil or taint. I'm sure she will regenerate me with a vengence" hes so naughty really. shes his staff. she knows just because she was born wealthy doesnt mean its okay for him to hit on her. she cant behave like other women of her class and background. and he has been a player. do men change?
