The web video series is written by Nessa Aref, Christina Bialik, Alysson Hall, Ryan Bright, Chris Coutts, Courtney Christensen, and Kyle D'Odorico. Jane Eyre is portrayed by Alysson Hall. It appeared on [=YouTube=] in 2013.

** Adele Varens was a French girl in the book, while Adele Rochester has light brown skin, and her father Mr Rochester doesn't. It adds mystery as to who Adele's mother might be.

* RelatedInTheAdaptation: In the novel, Adéle is the daughter of one of Rochester's past mistresses, Céline Varens, and while Rochester [[MamasBabyPapasMaybe may or may not be her father]], he doubts it and doesn't acknowledge her as his daughter, just his ward. Here, she's explicitly Rochester's daughter, and [[spoiler: her mother is his first wife "M.," the equivalent of the novel's Bertha, who has no connection to Adéle. Instead of Bertha's genetic madness, it was postpartum depression, and resulting drug addiction, that caused M.'s mental breakdown.]]

* RelationshipUpgrade: Jane and Rochester go from "unrequited pining after each other" to "let's get married" in the space of under a minute, in episode 45.

*** ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' got Jane's worst rating. She tries to be diplomatic and says that to each their own, but she has a problem with the main relationship.

** Episode 5 alluded to several painters. Creator/PabloPicasso, Creator/GustavKlimt, and Creator/VincentVanGogh (not mentioned, but one picture was clearly inspired by his style and looked a bit like ''Starry Night''). Adele's last picture looks a lot like ''The Son of Man'' by Creator/ReneMagritte.

** In Q&A #1, Adele mentions ''Theatre/{{Tosca}}'' and [[ConversedTrope converses]] the opera's KillEmAll trope. Then she sings an aria.

* IllGirl: In episode 8, Jane reminisces about her good friend from school, Helen, who had a cancer and died.

** Jane and Mr Rochester are both fans of ''Series/GameOfThrones'' and especially the books ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire''. They discuss it in episode 11. In "Q&A 3", Jane gets asked what character from the universe she would be. She says she was like Arya when she was little, but now she sees herself as Jon Snow. Mr Rochester disagrees and says that she's Daenerys.

** In episode 13, Jane mentioned that her reading had turned out scary. On her Tumblr, she specified that it had been ''Literature/TheGirlWithTheDragonTattoo''.
** In episode 13, Mr Rochester picked up one of Jane's books from the shelf and was flipping through its pages. Confirmed to be ''Les 500 Millions De La Bégum ([[Literature/TheBegumsMillions The Begum's Fortune]])'' by Creator/JulesVerne.

** In "Confession", Jane mentions ''Literature/TheBible'' and the concept of turning the other cheak and loving other as you love yourself.
** In episode "Charades", one of the clue was a film or book, six words, there is flying, something with eggs and birds and nests, none of the words is goose... They couldn't figure it out, but Jane says in the video's description that she's pretty sure it was ''Literature/OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest''.
