If Jane Eyre's story happened in the 21st century

The 1996 film review of "Jane Eyre" mainly describes the love line between Rochester and Jane Eyre, leaving out some details. For example, the book uses a large amount of ink to describe Jane Eyre's experience after leaving Mr. Rochester. .

Now let’s talk about the difference between communication and transportation in the 19th century and the current 21st century, which I always thought about when I watched the movie. When Jane Eyre fled away in a carriage, Bertha set fire to the whole manor and committed suicide by jumping off the building. Mr. Rochester also fell into danger. Imagine her sitting in the carriage, turning on her mobile phone, seeing a text message from the housekeeper's wife, or seeing today's headlines "A manor was burnt down by nameless fire", what would she think? Probably regretful.

The scene when the two express their feelings to each other is moving. Rochester said: After you go to Ireland, we will be separated, our heartstrings will both be broken, my heart will bleed, and you are reasonable, you can forget. "Mr Rochester's most humble moment in the film.

I opened a brain hole here, and I still miss each other in two places. Isn't this a long-distance relationship? The way for young people to deal with long-distance relationships is to stay active on the contact software, dubbing it as a mobile phone pet, but the distance of separation still exists, and they can't kiss each other's face when they miss each other. I wonder what Jane Eyre and Mr Rochester would do if they were given modern communication tools.

I am a post-00s generation, and I have been immersed in Internet technology since I was a child. On QQ, Wechat and Weibo, I search for clues left by people around me, a browsing record, a like, and a sentence "Are you there?". The hearts of the people are sometimes envious of the era without the Internet. Too much information does not mean better, and it may bring some distrust and meaningless cyberspace rituals. Now that the epidemic is on the rise, most people are in the company of electronic products, playing King of Glory, watching movies and TV dramas, watching online texts, playing chicken... There was no such thing before, and people are closer to nature, and people are also closer. get closer.

Jane Eyre's most famous confession, I think some changes have been made to the lines in the film. In the eyes of the master, the tutor may be just a servant, someone who pays money to play with the children, but Jane Eyre is very lucky. The manor, she was treated equally and lived in a very good room. Adele liked and respected her very much. The housekeeper's wife showed enthusiasm and welcome to her arrival. Compared with the serious prison-like school, she was only here. He regained his dignity and showed an independent personality.
