Not my cup of tea skepticism on the rise

“Do you think that i'm a machine that i can bear it.
Do you think that i'm poor, plain, obsecure and little that i have no that i'm without soul.
I have as much heart as you and as much soul.
And if God had given me some beauty and wealth, I would make it as hard for you to leave me as it is now for me to leave you."

"Jane Eyer will be not be over-whelmed."

Doubt:
1. John Eyer was clearly informed of Jane's death, why he insisted on leaving his inheritance to the dead many years later before he died.

2. If Rochester hadn't been blinded and disfigured, would he still be so sure about keeping Jane? To someone like him who needs the companian of human being, or will he marry another woman?

"The rules were rigid: a high-status man falls in love with a lower-status, but worthy and deserving, woman (or girl, that was even better). Fifty years of feminism and education and success had done little to eradicate the power of this myth. But how many women would eagerly sign up for the opposite: high status woman (smart, powerful, successful) falls in love with lower-status male and ends up taking care of him?" says by Candace Bushnell

    Is Mr. Rochester such a charming type? BBC classical dramas are starting to be passionate, and these days will not pass

    4 (End) Rochester is also too handsome, all kinds of heartbeats, Jane's reticence at the beginning to the opening of her heart later, the story is full of hardships in the first half, to the dramatic second half, everything goes well, everything goes well It's just right step by step, and the ending is good. No matter how difficult the process is, Jane's acting is really good!

Jane Eyre quotes

  • Edward Fairfax Rochester: So this St. John person you've been mentioning so often. What of him?

    Jane Eyre: Well, he's tall. He has blue eyes and a Grecian profile.

    Edward Fairfax Rochester: He's handsome then, compared to me.

    Jane Eyre: Oh, he's much more handsome than you. And he's a far better Christian of course than you ever were.

    Edward Fairfax Rochester: Well I thanked God last night for your sudden reappearance. The other night I cried out to Him in my despair. Called your name too. What about his brain this Rivers fellow? Find yourself getting bored when he speaks?

    Jane Eyre: He doesn't say very much, but what he says is to the point. His brain is first rate.

    Edward Fairfax Rochester: Did he study much? Taught you things?

    Jane Eyre: Oh yes, he taught me languages.

    Edward Fairfax Rochester: [frustrated] All right, why did he do that?

    Jane Eyre: He wanted me to go with him to Africa.

    Edward Fairfax Rochester: He wanted you to marry him?

    Jane Eyre: He asked me to marry him.

    Edward Fairfax Rochester: You're lying. You made this up to torment me.

    Jane Eyre: He asked me more than once.

    Edward Fairfax Rochester: Well I think you might take yourself off and go elsewhere! And why are you still here? You've done your duty. You've assured yourself that I am still living, still living a tenth of a life! You, heiress!

  • Edward Fairfax Rochester: Jane, I want a wife. I want a wife, not a nursemaid to look after me. I want a wife to share my bed every night. All day if we wish. If I can't have that, I'd rather die. We're not the platonic sort, Jane.

    Jane Eyre: [Take his face in her hands as she faces him] Can you see me?

    [Rochester nods yes]

    Jane Eyre: Then hear this Edward. Your life is not yours to give up. It is mine. All mine. And I forbid it.

    [Begin kissing, camera pans out, music swells]
