The novel is written in three major sections the first is Jane’s childhood. The film follows the novel accurately, while leaving some portions of the story under-developed or even omitted entirely. When Rochester proposes marriage, Jane thinks she has finally found true happiness. Jane finds herself drawn into Rochester’s world, a dark place full of secrets and maybe even a few ghosts. The ancient stones of Thornfield Hall spark her vivid imagination, as does the master of Thornfield Hall, Mr. Jane hasn’t experienced much of life, but she’s very susceptible and imaginative.

When she graduates as an intelligent, sheltered young woman, she advertises for work as a governess and gets employment at Thornfield Hall. There she receives a first-class education, but it is a cold and strict environment for a young girl.

She is despised by her aunt and cousins, and before long sent away to an austere charity school. Orphaned as a child, Jane goes to live with her distant aunt and abusive cousins. Jane (Wasikowska) is a passionate soul, though she is reserved and highly moral. Jane Eyre is the heroine of Bronte’s classic novel, a gothic romance full of dark secrets and forbidden loves. Released in theatres on March 11, Jane Eyre is a faithful but not inspired rendition of the timeless gothic romance. While Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender gave extraordinary performances, the film as a whole lacked cohesiveness. A rather anemic version of Charlotte Bronte’s classic novel, Focus Film and BBC’s Jane Eyre favors atmosphere over strong narrative.
