Jane Eyre

Although the very recent BBC adaptation was good, the version I remember must have been in the early 80s ... a scene with a bakery, and a scene of a very scary mad woman ...

Eventually I read the book, and, romantic that I am, enjoyed it. The horrors of the red room, the woman in the attic, the threat of St John Rivers ... and the cry across the moors! Ah!

I also enjoyed studying it (yes, another Gothic Novel), and, while watching the BBC adaptation, considered again the theory that Jane, as a strong woman, could only be matched by a weakened man. I wonder if Charlotte Bronte really thought of it like that? Somehow I doubt it. But subconsciously?
