This is my favorite version of Jane Eyre.

[@roseannagraham8980]

I watched this 2006 adaptation and became aware of what a governess was: educated. She was not a maid or washerwoman or cook, she was in a category of possibly the only educated woman in the household. She respected herself and was aware of the ignorance of societies, she was humble. I love Ruth Wilson, she's a perfect Jane Eyre and Toby Stephens very seductive very impressive. I've watched this about ,15 times.

Yeah. A governess was not considered a servant. Many governesses were from noble families, oftentimes those who were struggling financially so the girls had to get jobs. Governesses inhabited a grey area, not a servant, but not "quality."

[@blueberryriver3220]

This is my favourite version of Jane Eyre . Toby Stevens and Ruth Wilson were wonderful . I loved Toby Stevens personality in playing Rochester .

[@strawberry7loves]

i love the fact that the actors do so much research on their characters, and then make this brilliant work of art

[@jonnaek3701]

Thank you so for the video. After reading the book, an old favorite, dozens of times, I finally took a look the 13 different adaptations that I could find, and the 2006 series was the only one that actually managed to capture the spirit of Bronte's Jane Eyre. Susanna Welsh has done a marvelous job here.

[@davelee8961]

I think so, too. I've watched several adaptations, and I think Wilson and Stephens do a wonderful job portraying the characters.

[@georgetterobinson8381]

Not authentic to the book, closes is the 1983 version, loved the characters better too👍🥰

[@Kerry72100]

My favorite movie adaptation of Jane Eyre. Cheers!!!

[@KaraCarsafliGelin]

My favorite version,10 out of 10

[@Pfinas.Hobby.ClipBox]

This movie with Ruth Wilson is my absolutely favorite!!! Especially part 4❤

[@jays8835]

Darcy cannot hold a candle to Rochester!! Rochester is a man - flawed and damaged but still proud and passionate. He so completely loves Jane that he surrenders to her - he is sure of himself and what Jane means to him, so he can do that. Darcy is just feeble. Elizabeth scares him.

[@jays8835]

+Cindy Tartt I apologize for the vehemence of my comment - I just read Jane Eyre again and fell in love all over again - as I've done a million times :) I Prefer Rochester's passion to Darcy's control and what I call stiffness...

[@amandadunseith7928]

I agree

[@Marguerite-wu3nw]

Why do we need to compare ?Totally different characters.

[@brennakelly7174]

I love that Jane is so certain of herself and what she wants in life--independence, equality, and good relationships. The fact that she is so innocent and sure-footed plays off of Rochester's often changeable manners. Their inter-character diametrics and common interests help them to find a mutual ground, yet still retain their individuality.

[@jane9561]

Brenna Kelly couldn't agree more!

[@cherrybomb8328]

They managed to put more of Rochesters back story and his remembering of his wife Bertha and " what type of wife she was".. as he walked in on Bertha cheating on him with another man . I really got to empathize more with him and the deeply troubled man that he was.

[@misslucemala]

Oh, thank you, I loved they showed the shooting scene where Adele is singing that song and the fly on Toby's face.lol!

[@kawtharbakhach5848]

UGH I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THEM

[@JennyMack-rm9fk]

Versions on Internet and in store mainly for young adults you get way its written from readers digest with scary and violent parts.

[@againsturlaw]

After reading the book, I fell in love with Jane Eyre, now I regret opening the book in the first place haha

[@ainebarnett9687]

One should never regret

[@fancy0face]

Bronte refers to Jane Austen's heroine as, "Insipid". Couldn't have put it better myself! Jane Austen barely scratched the surface on feminism. Even Elizabeth Bennett irritates me! She barely knows herself, let alone Darcy. She is a poor judge of character and a snob. Unlike the fiery, independant, fiercely intelligent, Jane Eyre...who truely DOES know, and trust herself. Yet she has no connections, nor fortune, she knows she deserves more in life...and so sets out to achieve her due, happiness.

[@luciadilazzaro2285]

Where did Charlote said that Jane Austen's heroines are insipid?

[@SR-iy4gg]

Didn't know that "feminism" was a requirement of a novel's heroine. LOL The books were contemporary fiction. They were based on real life, not meant to be some kind of futuristic superhero-type woman righting the wrongs of society, as we may perceive them 200 years later!

[@malgory]

Thank you!

[@EverlastingxHope]

This is the same location used in the latest 2011 feature film adaptation. Strangely there wasn't much resemblance at first, I couldn't recognize the place.

[@Medietos]

It is exactly because of Jane Eyre's high morals, ethics and decency that she can afford to have a strong personality, - having understood it that character implies the imprints and paradigms of carers and others that have imprinted one's spirit, - will and passion: Because she ruled herself as a master a dog. Whether such integrity is plausible and even possible with such a loveless childhood is an other question.

[@TheKayzieMichelle]

Rochester is truly a scoundrel! He deceived her continually! He manipulated her with Blanche, causing her all kinds of heartache. Then he nearly turned her into a bigamist. He nearly let the house burn down, twice! Hardly a hero.

[@johnscar6754]

Can't argue with you there. But then that's what makes this such a passionate book. Just as in life, no one is a hero. We are all flawed.

[@sanyam71]

You're very welcome

[@Lindysse]

@Basra2020 They really are wonderfully drawn- but this means that you admire Austen's skills, not the actual characters.& that does not work with being in love. If she was in love with Darcy at this point, she'd have cared about his reputation and not encouraged the slanders. & you don't have to be in love with someone to be annoyed with them calling you'tolerable'-a complete stranger turning up his nose at you without knowing you at all is enough to offend anyone- tho Lizzy is a bit vain ;)

[@andreamaldonado1780]

@lindysse I ask you, what would you do if you were forced to marry someone you barely know, who is violent, alcoholic, wild, psychopath (he likes to burn people and attack them with knives and wrest their skin with his teeth) in other words, somebody totally crazy? I would do the same as Rochester! In the victorian era, the asylums were frighful! You didn't understand his character. Rochester is a complex character, he has virtues and defects (like everybody, a real person). They love each other with their virtues and defects. But in Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth doesn't accept him with his defects, at the end, Darcy has to become a perfect man to deserve her love... I don't like Austen's stories because all her characters are perfect! Her stories are more like fantasy than romance...

È sicuramente una bella e molto curata versione di Jane eyre ma,proprio per questo mi chiedo perché, quando Jane è con St.John si parla di andare in Africa.. ma se non mi sbaglio nel libro è dell' India che lui parla come luogo dove trasferirsi come missionario...peccato perché tutto il film è perfetto!

[@Lindysse]

@Basra2020 Ahh, well I like Jane- she's plain, but I don't see why a heroine should have to be pretty to be an engaging character. In real life you don't make friends with people because they look good- or if you do, it tends to be ill-advised. Lizzy's not superficial either though- if she was, she'd have fallen for Darcy at the beginning of the book when she saw he was handsome & rich. I like Darcy because he is steadfast, honest & generous.

[@Lindysse]

@Basra2020 I'm on your side in that I personally prefer Austen's work to Bronte's- it's outrageous to call Lizzie Bennet insipid! But if you object to introducing Jane Eyre by quoting Charlotte Bronte's opinion of Austen, then it's not really fair that you then go on to insult Jane Eyre as a way of defending Austen. You're entitled to your opinion, but if you think the entire book is solely about Jane trying to ensnare Mr Rochester than I can't help feeling that you missed the point.

[@proud2bejcan]

She was not a feminist if I use today's feminists as an example. She just believed in equality, not superiority and she dedicated her life to her husband at the end of the book. .

@Basra2020 I also disagree again :) a heroine must have a beautiful personality, otherwise you can't empathise with their situation, but physical beauty is not a must. The rules of a novel and real life are different in terms of plot, but you have to apply the same rules in terms of characters otherwise the reader will not be able to identify with them. As for Lizzie- if she fell for him at the beginning, why did she refuse his 1st proposal? & when's she a bully?

[@frostylunetta]

Ruth is too pretty for a plain jane

[@southwind224]

Ow wow fanks i haven't seen this before ;)

[@Lindysse]

@Basra2020 But what's there to admire about beauty? It's a matter of luck, you can't choose how you look. You actions have to be chosen, which is why a good personality is more admirable. & Lizzy's actions don't fit at all with the behaviour of someone who is in love. Why on earth would she encourage Wickham's stories about Darcy if she was? And if you think she is a bully, then do you only admire her because she's beautiful? =P In that case you may as well admire Caroline Bingley or Lucy Steele

[@LilacDaisy2]

"It's a very modern thing." SMH. It's just a very HUMAN thing.

[@Lindysse]

@Basra2020 Haha! Well, Rochester is not my favourite hero, far from it, & I'm definitely not in love with him- g've me a Darcy any day ;) I like how Bronte wrote Rochester- his flaws make him believable- but I woldn't have been able to marry him. He kept his mad wife in the attic! How could you ever trust someone again after you found that out? But I think that Jane Eyre is about a lot more than falling in love- a lot of it is to do with being true to who you are, & finding acceptance for that,

@Megahappy2b you are so right!! @Forthelost1001 God bless you with His grace, peace and joy through Jesus in Jesus name!!:))

[@jmwillilams023]

Your wrong. Jane Erye was feminine yet strong. She was very much a woman in every sense of the word. Also, I’m not sure how putting a muslin woman on here is helpful as it’s obvious you are trying to put forth a woman’s independence and the authentic Muslim religion forbids this.
