History Film / JANEEYRE

From Aldous Huxley's intriguing Creator/OrsonWelles/Creator/JoanFontaine 1943 film, through Zelah Clarke and Creator/TimothyDalton's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SJYxamq-3g 1983 BBC miniseries]], Creator/CharlotteBronte's ''Literature/JaneEyre'' has [[AdaptationOverdosed never been short of adaptations]]. This doesn't even count the approximately 64 billion [[http://eyreguide.awardspace.co.uk/radio.html Jane Eyre radio plays]]. A consistent trait of all the adaptations is the conversion of Jane and Rochester from plain or unhandsome to good-looking or downright stunning -- a clear case of AdaptationalAttractiveness.

The list of film and TV adaptation tropes are as follows:
* The 1943 film directed by Robert Stevenson, co-adapted by Aldous Huxley and John Houseman, starring Creator/JoanFontaine and Creator/OrsonWelles.
* The 1970 TV film directed by Delbert Mann, starting Creator/SusannahYork and Creator/GeorgeCScott.
* The [[Series/JaneEyre1973 1973 BBC serial]] directed by Joan Craft, starring Sorcha Cusack and Creator/MichaelJayston.
* The [[Series/JaneEyre1983 1983 BBC serial]] directed by Julian Amyes, starring Zelah Clarke and Creator/TimothyDalton.
* The 1996 film directed by Franco Zeffirelli, starring Creator/CharlotteGainsbourg and Creator/WilliamHurt.
* The 1997 ITV telefilm directed by Robert Young, starring Creator/SamanthaMorton and Creator/CiaranHinds.
* The [[Series/JaneEyre2006 2006 BBC miniseries]] directed by Susanna White, starring Creator/RuthWilson and Creator/TobyStephens.

[[folder: 1943 film]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jane_eyre_1943.jpg]]

The classic film starring Creator/JoanFontaine as Jane and Orson Welles as Rochester. Co-adapted by Aldous Huxley, after his work on ''Film/PrideAndPrejudice1940''. Child actress Creator/ElizabethTaylor, a few years away from becoming a huge star, has a small part.

* DeathByAdaptation: Grace Poole. Bertha is said to have killed her in her sleep before she set fire to Thornfield.
* DontYouDarePityMe: Rochester has this reaction to Jane when she reunites with him at the end, believing she has only decided to stay with him out of pity.
* EarlyBirdCameo: St. John Rivers appears during Jane's childhood as the local doctor. This removes him from consideration as a romantic rival to Rochester when he reappears at the end (fortunately, given the age and power difference), and reformulates his obstacle to Jane's choice as a spiritual rather than emotional/marital one.
* {{Chiaroscuro}}: When Helen first approaches Jane, the lighting through the stair bannister splays out around them, creating the impression of captivity or prison.
* GutturalGrowler: Rochester.

* AgeLift: In the novel, Jane stayed at Lowood for 8 years and then left at 18. In this version, she was aged up to 20 and her time in Lowood was extended into 10 years.  Jane's actress, Creator/CharlotteGainsbourg was 25 at the time the film was shown.
* BookEnds: The movie begins with a still drawing of Gateshead Hall. The last scene then ends with a drawing of Jane and Mr. Rochester in the grassfields as a married couple, with the latter implied that his eyesight is recovered.

* DeathByAdaptation: Grace Poole. Bertha throws her to her death before leaping to her own.
* DoubleTake: Mr. Rochester does one upon his first meeting with Jane on Hay Lane.
* EarlyBirdCameo: St. John and his family appear when Jane returns to her childhood rearing house to attend her aunt's final illness. While not on the level of either the 1943 or 2011 films in including him from the very beginning, it is still earlier than his final-quarter appearance in the novel.

* INeedAFreakingDrink: Shortly after taking out the fire in Mr. Rochester's bed, Mr. Rochester drinks a glass of brandy in his study. He even offers it to Jane.
* MementoMacGuffin: The unfinished sketch of Mr. Rochester drawn by Jane. Adele and Mr. Rochester spends some time staring at it while Jane is away in Gateshead Hall.
* PragmaticAdaptation: Though in general the film plays like an AdaptationDistillation, the final Rivers section is combined and manipulated quite a bit to fit it into a coherent, unified narrative.

* SomethingAboutARose: Jane pulls out a boquet of roses in the vase in order to use the latter in taking out the fire in Mr. Rochester's bed. Her hand ended up having some cuts but [[AfterActionPatchUp Mr. Rochester tended it and then thanks her for saving his life]].

* {{Bookends}}: The series begins and ends with the painting of a family portrait.

* DaydreamSurprise: The show begins with young Jane exploring the desert. In the next scene, Jane opens her eyes and reads an adventure book.

** The miniseries bookends with Jane's family sitting outside of their house being portrayed. Jane wants Adele who is her husband's ward in the picture.

* GroupPictureEnding: It ends up with Jane's family sitting outside of their house, being painted for a family portrait.
* PragmaticAdaptation: While it is one of the longer versions, the script makes a few choices to fit the serialized format of the series. A particular example of this is the structure of the fourth episode, which plays with the idea that Jane [[TraumaInducedAmnesia doesn't remember Thornfield.]]

[[folder: 2011 film]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jane_eyre_2011.jpg]]

Focus Features and BBC Films produced this film, directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga (''Film/BeastsOfNoNation'', the first season of ''Series/TrueDetective'') starring Creator/MiaWasikowska as Jane, Creator/MichaelFassbender as Rochester, Creator/JudiDench as Mrs. Fairfax, and Jamie Bell as St. John.

----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Common in all adaptations of the book, but this is the most flagrant example yet, with two extremely attractive leading actors playing characters whose plainness is a plot-relevant trait.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Rochester is brown-haired and blue-eyed.
* AlmostKiss: When Rochester is "thanking" her for saving him from the fire. He tries to kiss her again, after their aborted wedding, but she won't let him.
* BeardOfSorrow: Rochester grows one after Jane leaves and [[spoiler:when Bertha sets the house on fire and commits suicide]].
* CatScare: Just before Jane encounters Rochester, she is startled by a bird.
* {{Chiaroscuro}}: The lighting is beautifully done. The trope is used very effectively to mimic the dramatic candlelight that would have been in use at the time of Jane Eyre.
* DiesWideOpen: Helen dies this way.
* DutchAngle: When Helen dies, the camera is tilted as Jane is taken away.
* EarlyBirdCameo: The positioning of the Rivers section as framing narrative means that all three of the Rivers siblings get these.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Bertha.
* FallingInLoveMontage: To the film's credit, it's not overdone.
* ICantLookGesture: Jane turns her back when Mr. Rochester puts on his pants after they take out the fire in the latter's bedroom.
* IdenticalStranger: While not identical, there is a strong resemblance between Adèle and the younger Jane, highlighting how Jane identifies with Adèle.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Invoked, and subverted.
--> '''Diana''': [[ShipperOnDeck "Isn't Jane our sister, too?"]]
--> '''St. John:''' [Hesitates, then kisses Jane on the lips]
* LongingLook: There are a ''lot'' of these.
* MessyHair: Bertha.
* OminousFog: The area where Jane and Mr. Rochester first met is filled with this.
* OopNorth: Jane's accent this time around has flavors of Yorkshire in it.
* PragmaticAdaptation: The restructuring of the film into using the Rivers sequence as a framing narrative, and the childhood and Rochester sections as semi-flashback material qualify as a clever attempt to reshape the story's unwieldy, commonly frustrating structure into a satisfying two hour film. The film might otherwise qualify for AdaptationDistillation, though many events and causes are finessed to fit a more "naturalistic" rather than Romantic tone.
* RelationshipCompression: Jane and Rochester seem to fall for each other rather quickly (to be fair, it's extremely hard to keep the relationship building sections while trying to include the full plot of the novel).
* SayMyName: Well, Say His Name.
* SpitefulSpit: Bertha ''casually'' spits at Jane.
* VertigoEffect: Twice. First during the Red Room scene, just before an ash cloud explodes from the fireplace, and second just before Jane meets Rochester for the first time (after being startled by the bird).
