1910: Jane Eyre, starring Irma Taylor (Jane), Marie Eline (Young Jane), and Frank Hall Crane (Rochester).Magnificent.Orson Welles and Joan Fontaine in Jane Eyre (1943), directed by Robert Stevenson Silent films Or his petulance as he welcomes her return from Gateshead, turning to delight in Jane's pleasure in coming home. Watch Ruth Wilson's incredible acting in the stairwell as she summons up the courage to enter the tower room to nurse Mason, balanced by Toby's concern followed by his wordless decision to trust her. There are so many outstanding moments between the two leads and not just in the big scenes. Started extremely well and got better and better. Will it be the one? (After the Final Episode) There's no doubt. The two central characters have sparked on and off each other very convincingly. Jane is into and out of Lowood in the first 10 minutes. One of the reasons it fits so well into four hours is that Ruth can do 10 pages of prose with one change of expression. Only the smallest alterations of expression are required to communicate changing emotions bubbling below the surface. Who can look dour and empty, who is believably dull and innocent and yet simultaneously contains the fire for a great love story. An actress who is strikingly beautiful but not superficially pretty. But in Ruth Wilson we may finally have a memorable Jane Eyre. There have been plenty of great Rochesters, George C Scott and Ciaran Hinds to name but two, and Toby Stephens may be another. You need a host of competent actors for the minor roles, good child actors and a brooding, fiery Bronte hero for Rochester, capable of attaching a variety of women and inspiring devotion in one of literature's great heroines. Give me back nine.Įdward Fairfax Rochester: Jane, I have need of it. I shall advertise.Įdward Fairfax Rochester: Devil, you will! Advertise! I wish I'd only offered you a sovereign, not ten whole pounds. You're going to prevail upon that miserable family to find you a new situation. You have as good as said you intend to be married.Įdward Fairfax Rochester: Really? That has been settled then, has it? You've decided that Miss Ingram is to be my bride. But you still owe me five.Įdward Fairfax Rochester: Then, come back for it.Įdward Fairfax Rochester: Sir, I have to ask you something else, a matter of business.
Take your wages.Įdward Fairfax Rochester: You're right. I have no change.Įdward Fairfax Rochester: I don't want change, Jane. I haven't given you any salary yet, remember? How much have you, Jane, in whole the world?Įdward Fairfax Rochester: Here, take fifty pounds. I cannot set a time on that.Įdward Fairfax Rochester: Of course, you'll go.
But promise me, you'll not stay with this undeserving aunt more than a week. I'll only be gone two weeks, I hope.Įdward Fairfax Rochester: Two weeks? That's not possible.Įdward Fairfax Rochester: Very well.
She's now struck down with his misfortune. So why does she suddenly want to see you now? And she did not like me.Įdward Fairfax Rochester: And she sent you to Lowood without so much as a word or a visit in nearly ten years. Jane Eyre: My aunt cast me out when I went away to school. She's my uncle's wife.Įdward Fairfax Rochester: Uncle? You told me you had no family. Jane Eyre: Sir, I need to have a leave of absence for a week or two, to see a sick lady who's asked for me.Įdward Fairfax Rochester: What sick lady?
