Jane Eyre (1997)_ "I must leave you, Mr Rochester"

[@ebrenalmodo7156]

What the hell was that strong push at the begining?! He never abused her physically...he was regretful and caring, he changed only after she told she would leave him...but even then he wasnt violent with her..just hysterical

[@classicanj]

I think this scene is very well done. He is about to lose everything that he's been searching for, his only chance for the love and happiness he's longed for his entire life. She's slipping through his fingers, and he is desperately trying to cling to her. They both do a phenomenal job.

[@OreadNYC]

"Well, then, we'll simply go abroad and tell people you are my wife...who's to know any different?" "ME! I will know it! I would have to live with my own conscience and that would eat away at my soul...I am worth more than that." THIS. This is the whole essence of the story, and exactly what makes it so very powerful. Jane is a woman who follows her own conscience and makes a consistent effort to live in accordance with the principles which she believes will be best for others as well as herself regardless of what other people might think. (An example of this is her kindness toward Adele -- a girl whom other people might reject because she is illegitimate and because of who her mother was.) This is something which Rochester doesn't entirely understand in the beginning, even though he's doing something not entirely dissimilar from that by going against convention and keeping his first marriage a secret from the world (both literally and figuratively) so that he can find happiness with another woman. He doesn't entirely understand that Jane's principles are a major part of who she is and how she identifies herself. If she had gone against her own principles, she would lost a part of what he values most about her...and in so doing, he might indeed have found himself losing some of the affection he holds for her (which would have made her even unhappier, because she would have lost both her own respect for herself and his affection).

Yes this is why Jane Eyre is my favourite novel. She has everything against her at one point - no money, no family, no social standing, plain looks all during a time when all of these were of a huge disadvantage to a single woman, so one could understand if she did marry him at that point and STILL she says no to Mr Rochester. She had principles and standards and I agree this is why he loved her so much.

[@gracegonzalez9856]

Yikes. This would’ve been dope if they’d kept the original dialogue. The actor they chose for Mr Rochester in this adaptation is so spot on. Physically and emotionally he matches everything perfectly. But the writers or rather re-writers screwed up His character. He never would’ve cut Jane down like this. In the book he never hurled abuse at Jane, but rather, begged for her forgiveness and pity on him. And even made it clear that he COULD overpower her if he chose to “I could bend you with my finger and my thumb” but wouldn’t because of his true, deep love for her. Acting and actor phenomenal. Writing crap.

[@carinajimenez355]

Hear. Hear.

[@eme.261]

While the dialogue in the book didn't convey abuse, Rochester's behavior, at its core, was abusive. He was manipulative and attempted to trick Jane into doing something he knew she wouldn't want to do. He played with her feelings, mercilessly, and placed her in the position of being ridiculed, over and over again, by Blanche and his guests. He gaslit the devil out of her, making her mistrust her own instincts about what was going on in the house and even made her believe that Grace Poole was a mere nuisance and Jane wasn't in any danger. He didn't care how the truth was destroy Jane-- he only wanted what he wanted. Yeah, he didn't come out and say the things this Rochester did, but his actions, figuratively, screamed those things into her face. Rochester was an emotionally desperate and lonely man. When he finally found someone who could alleviate his loneliness and match him in passions and interests, behaved like a narcissistic a-hole. This is the version that comes closest to showing that truth and didn't hide them behind conventional fripperies. Sometimes, people fool themselves into believing that a person isn't really abusing or insulting them, because the abuser doesn't come right out and say how little regard they have for the needs of the abused.

LMAO you're right he is waaay over the top and very miscast. He comes across as very violent, controlling and threatening to Jane. Not to mention certain scenes where he tries to display passion and longing but it instead looks lecherous (fire scene hand hold). I cringe watching this version because while Morton is fine and I actually like her as Jane, sadly Rochester is terrible. This scene made me laugh because in every version we wait for this scene but he'd just as sooner throw Jane down the stairs after the luggage and c'mon, no, the violent grabbing, berating bullying is way too much. Rochester is Byronic and not perfect and displays petulance at times but he's also playful and loving and tender with Jane. This guy is a second away from backhanding Jane LOL.

[@Morte.]

Love is ugly, real life is painful and neurotic. Hinds pitches this perfectly and his performance is ugly and heartfelt not soppy and romantic drivel that means by the end of the story when he is blind he has had time to grow.

[@rochey1010]

Morte I agree with you to an extent but we have to remember that 'Jane Eyre' is a fully realized story and Rochester is not depicted this way in the book. I understand that Hind's performance comes across as ugly but it's not heartfelt in my eyes at all. The problem is that Hind's is trying to emote the passionate side of Rochester but he thinks yelling is the way to do that. Because of his acting choice with Rochester this becomes incredibly melodramatic and forced. That leaving scene is horrible because we are supposed to see Rochester's desperate passionate pleading with Jane. Hind's and the script plays it as Rochester bullying and grabbing Jane and saying crap like "that's it go on, go, you're like all the rest" First of all this type of dialogue is too modern and second Rochester is practically pulling Jane down the stairs and pushing her out the door playing himself as the poor victim and Jane as the witch breaking his heart. It's painful (in all the wrong ways) to watch. It doesn't even capture the tiniest essence of that famous scene. At one point, yes, in the book Rochester does threaten violence with Jane but he shows he could never hurt her by saying that it wouldn't matter because it's her soul he wants. He is passionate, heartbroken and desperately imploring Jane to stay with him. He is NOT berating, bullying and throwing Jane around. The point of the scene is that Jane is this close to cracking and throwing herself into his arms and agreeing to his plan but her spiritual resolve and self respect wins out and she has to pull herself away from him with torturous difficulty. Hind's plays Rochester too abusive and is miscast. I love Rochester portrayals and try to find redeeming feature even in the worst ones but Hind's just creeps me out with his lecherous and predatory depiction.

[@VictoriaBlogger]

Everything about this version of the scene bothers me - Rochester's abusive anger and childish taunts in particular - but I think the thing I dislike most is Jane's line "Help me to be strong". Jane Eyre is my heroine precisely because no man or woman in the world had authority over her conscience. Her strength came from within herself - she may have been physically fragile, but her faith and courage were unshakeable. She never would have asked Rochester or anyone else to "help her be strong".

[@supergran1000]

Fantastic comment, Vicki!

[@danahenrickson3378]

I think she was asking God to help her be strong. In the book, while Rochester was frantically begging her to stay, she cried out "God help me" and pulled away from him. For the most part of this scene, I do not like any of it, but that one line I had perceived immediately as her asking God to keep her strong, which I kind of liked. Not the best adaptation, though. I prefer the musical version with James Barbour, the Timothy Dalton one, or even the Toby Stephens version.

[@izCCCPvPoccuu]

This anger is a sign of desperation.

[@tigttfn]

Yes!! Anger is not passion. This Rochester is pretty ridiculous. I was scared for Jane in this scene. lol Mr. Rochester was passionate and could seem dangerous but he never called Jane names or manhandled her. Timothy Dalton is the best Rochester ever!! He was passionate and you could glimpse a dangerous side of him but you never felt threatened.

[@Schoolgirl325]

Yeah, it feels like they got Rochester all wrong her. There’s no question that Edward Rochester has a bit of a hot temper and has some seriously unhealthy tactics. He emptily threatens Jane with violence in his despair, he’s occasionally a manipulative bastard, but he *not* without self-control. He would *never* actually physically harm her, force himself on her, or belittle her in the novel. That is ultimately why I forgave him, and was happy when he realized he fucked up at the end with his deceptions after Jane came back. , While Rochester could be an asshole, he was *not* evil or outright abusive towards Jane. More mildly manic depressive with poor social/relationship skills due to his own cowardice over his own insecurities. Probably not someone who I would ever marry or date in real life myself, but definitely not without his appeal either. I still fell in love with Mr: Rochester because Jane did in the narrative of the novel, and it was clear why she did. This version feels like a parody or hate letter written by someone who clearly hates Mr. Rochester and Jane Eyre, and who completely and deliberately misinterpreted both characters.

My goodness-- this Rochester is a demon lol! A bit TOO angry I think-- I think even the Jane Eyre in the book would have been terrified of this guy!

I like the 1983 version of this scene the best, but as a whole, I prefer the 2006 version (and Jane Eyre happens to be one of my favourite books).

[@OreadNYC]

I absolutely *HATE* the way in which Rochester in this version of "Jane Eyre" attempts to gaslight and manipulate Jane by implying that somehow she is the one who's in the wrong for standing up for herself instead of acknowledging that what he did to her is not that different from what his father and his brother did to him. In the book, Rochester makes a point of telling other people that Jane is blameless and had no idea he was married -- and in his private conversation with Jane, he admits that he should not have lied to her as he did.

[@audreyhepburn652]

@strawberrysyrup9 Yes, you're right: In the book, she left Thornfield Hall without his knowing, but the good thing of this film- as I see- is the opposite: Edward sees her leaving the house. How could a man so passionate as him react when he sees that the love of his life is leaving him? IMO, Hinds makes a good performance of that moment. And yes, Rochester hasn't moustache in the book, but... Ok, Ciaran is adorable! :) Thanks for your explanation!

He's too agressive... Rochester is not supposed to be serene but he certainly isn't this furious either.

[@paigecat9104]

Can you compare this episode with the one in the 1983 heartbreaking parting scene with Zelah and Timothy?

[@saralu6220]

Timothy was acting. Hinds is the best Mr. Rochester!

[@christeljarry1789]

Il avait caché sa femme car il avait peur qu'on découvre qu'elle était mentalement dérangée. Il aurait pu demander l'annulation de son mariage dans de telles circonstances. Il a préféré tout cacher aux autres et à Jane en lui mentant à propos de sa situation. S'il avait été sincère tout aurait pu être différent...mais il est toujours sur la défensive ne voulant pas se montrer vulnérable par peur d'être rejeté par Jane...l'ironie c'est que Jane part justement à cause de tous ses mensonges accumulés...

[@missyadams]

At the time, you couldn't divorce a spouse with mental issues

[@angieps8913]

No puedo imaginar que una mujer esté tan tranquila al lado de un loco lleno de ira. La interpretación me parece muy exagerada por parte de él, da miedo realmente. No parece que esté enamorado si no que no tolera que lo dejen. Y ella, demasiado pasiva, como representaban a la mujer en el siglo 20, pasiva, sumisa, sin voluntad. Jane Eyre era diferente a las mujeres de su época.

[@TheAkelei]

I have to agree a bit: It's quite unusual (and unrealistic) to be shouted at and not to twitch the nose, though she is known to bare her countenance.

[@annamar2513]

Ciaran Hinds is the best mr. Rochester!!

[@КрапивкинаТатьяна]

Очень нравятся Джейн и Рочестер в этом исполнении

[@audreyhepburn652]

Yeah, I suppose so... But I think the madness of love is very different of others...

[@audreyhepburn652]

@Ru0508 I like this version too. I've read both stories and sincerely, I like Heathcliff, but Mr. Rochester has something... different. He has something wild inside, but also something refined and polished which Heathcliff hasn't got. He's all wildness. The mixture of feelings makes Edward extraordinary and special. Maybe Hinds was inspired by Heathcliff to play this scene. I don't know.

[@scorpionbeatlesgirl87]

No offence to those who like these actors and this version of Jane Eyre but the only way I can describe it is pathetic and ludicrous. The "Rochester" in this version used his anger to substitute for the lack of "chemistry" between the two actors, he left out the emotions of pain and angst altogether and his screaming only hurt my eardrum. The actress was expressionless and she gave the viewer the impression that she was only too happy to be leaving an abusive lover like Rochester. She did not portray the feelings of pain and betrayal that other versions portrayed so well.

[@lizd.8655]

Well, this the most selfish version of this bastard I've ever seen and that's saying something! At least this version of Jane sort of stood up for herself. I still don't understand this story's appeal! Do we women really want to get treated like crap and still have hope that we can "fix" someone?

[@missyadams]

Read the AFTER series. Most toxic couple.

[@samiraadiva3464]

Ciaran very nice oh God!

[@audreyhepburn652]

Thanks for your comment! Yes, I think that this is a great version, but IMO the best is Jane Eyre (1973). Wow, it's fantastic!!! In this, I think that the error was the mustache of Ciaran Hinds, but he and Samantha are very good actors. Well, another thing... She should learn to kiss!! Oh, her kisses are horrible!!!

[@citizenlen]

@audreyhepburn652 WH and JE was meant for two different audience. WH was quite dark and full of hatred/revenge. JE was finally finding peace, forgiveness and love. You also have two unlikeable characters in WH. Jane had this moral compass whereas Heathcliff was just off the radar villain.

[@greymouse718]

Just watch the 1983 version and compare. Any doubt which is better?

[@AkvileAlex]

I like this scene. Very Rochesterish. You know, you can't really pick best Rochester. It would be a mix of Toby Stephens, Timonthy Dalton, Michael Fassbender and Ciaran Hinds.

[@izCCCPvPoccuu]

I chose the best. But in others, you can also find many wonderful.

[@Milordvega]

I'm not sure Ciaran Hinds read the book. Rochester is not abusive like this

[@iwillstom]

I like the idea of the scene but I can't bring myself to like Ciaran Hinds in it. He comes off more Brocklehurst than Rochester to me. Too much anger not tempered with enough fear and despair. And... the mustache. WHY?!

[@nora22000]

OMG--I've overheard arguments between lovers in the dorms that were better than this one. It was too, too pedestrian, not filled with pathos and the sere realization that something important was being lost. Yes, Broklehurst at his worst, and oh, yes, that infernal horrible ugly mustache.

[@OreadNYC]

Well, in all fairness, I believe that Charlotte Bronte in the book does mention that Jane's personal private portrait of Rochester has "whiskers" which back then was a term which people used when a man had a mustache and/or a beard.

[@kirsteni.russell5903]

This script is a change from the book. Not for the better.

[@enigmaticallyso]

@Janeite1 I wholeheartedlly agree. That version portrayed this scene best.

[@ValBlanc19]

Lots of comments about how unlikable a Rochester Ciarin Hinds is - but that's the whole point. All the other adaptations portray him as a gruff but sexy heartthrob. Honestly, if I met a Rochester-type today I'd be pretty repulsed by first impressions...

[@Lauren-jh2xn]

ValBlanc19 But you also have to remember that Jane is 18-19 and Rochester is nearly forty. I wouldn't exactly find a man like that handsome. I think Rochester was probably decent-looking (not like some Adonis or anything XD), and Jane didn't really find him attractive because he wasn't the best looking (but not bad looking) and was old enough to be her father.

[@cberri14]

Wow, I forgot how much I hated this version when it came out, which is probably why I only saw it once! Rochester is not supposed to be terribly handsome, but I've seen grapefruits with greater sex appeal than Ciaran Hinds (in this role). And the liberties taken with the script are pretty appalling. This is my favorite scene in the book, with so much sexual tension, but here it's reduced to a yelling match.
