I like it no matter what anyone says

As a reader who has liked this original book for more than ten years, I think my opinion should not be of little value. I am not

very confused why Chinese people view this story with a fixed mindset. The hero and heroine can't be too normal, especially the male lead can't be too handsome. , The story can't be too romantic for

ten years. In my eyes, this is first of all a love story. What moved me the most in the original is the description of love and the burst of passion between the hero and heroine. Unfortunately, many previous versions have ignored this. And to focus on the so-called cynicism, the so-called maverick, the so-called equality declaration, etc., I would say that these things were pioneers in the nineteenth century, but what about in the twenty-first century? It's really nothing new. But the original book does not exist for these temporary pioneers. She actually has something deeper and more eternal in it. This is the expression of human nature and human feelings. I have to say that this edition is based on humanity and human feelings. The kung fu has surpassed all previous adaptations, so naturally she is the best in my opinion.

The most controversial part of this edition in China is nothing more than the bold dialogue. In fact, people who have read the original book carefully can easily find the descriptions and dialogues far beyond the social norms at that time. The relationship between the hero and heroine is not only spiritual Mutual attraction on a level, this has long been an indisputable consensus understanding in the West. Only Chinese people, probably because of some special historical reasons, most people understand that this book is still entangled in the famous "Declaration of Equality", so it can't be very good. To understand this adaptation, it has become inevitable.

    The previous original and movie versions are too deep in my heart, so I don't feel much about the BBC version

    The character Jane Eyre is quite good~ Some qualities are still very avant-garde~ But Charlotte Bronte made this story too vulgar~ It's not natural~~ Anyway, it's a pity that Jane Eyre is this character~

Jane Eyre quotes

  • Jane Eyre: Hurry, Hannah. We must light the fires before they arrive.

    Hannah: [to St.John] She wants fire in every room, in places where they never were.

    Jane Eyre: What's the use of five thousands pounds if you can't light a few fires at Christmas?

    St John Rivers: Twenty thousands.

    Jane Eyre: St. John, I'll not hear another word. We've been over it again and again. Our uncle left a nephew and three nieces. We must all profit from his will equally.

    St John Rivers: Jane, you've never had money. You do not know what use you may put it to.

    Jane Eyre: And you've never been without family. I will have a brother and sisters, and a home.

    St John Rivers: I'll be a brother to you, whether you share the money our uncle left you, you and only you, or not.

    Jane Eyre: Leaving you with nothing, unable to realize your dreams and me with a fortune. I know enough about money to realize that will not make me happy

    St John Rivers: What of the future? If you should marry?

    Jane Eyre: I'll never marry.

  • St John Rivers: We sail in six weeks. We must make marriage preparations.

    Jane Eyre: Why can we not travel as brother and sister? As equals?

    St John Rivers: That would be impossible.

    Jane Eyre: St. John, you do not love me.

    St John Rivers: Love is not an ingredient in this matter.

    [Jane turns away from him, thinking]

    St John Rivers: I fear you have not forgotten your old association despite the harm he tried to do you.

    Jane Eyre: I'll never see any of them again. But I owe a debt to my friends at Thornfield Hall. In many ways, I started my life there. I became Jane Eyre.

    St John Rivers: God made Jane Eyre! You surely don't give this man Rochester any credit for that!

    Jane Eyre: Of course not. I've always known myself. But he was the first to recognize me. And to love what he saw.

    [long pause]

    Jane Eyre: I'll give you your answer St. John soon, don't worry. And if I go with you that will be my decision. You'll have him to thank for that.

    [leaves the room]
