But there are certain aspects that shouldn't be tampered with. I really dislike adaptations that paint Mr Rochester as a boor--that happens a lot. Jane sometimes ends up being questionable in many ways. Off the top of my head, there are a few where Mr Rochester assumes Jane would only do something for him if it were right (as in the book, of course) but she pipes in with either "well, it depends, actually..." or "Oh, would I?" And beautiful Janes are simply silly. If you've ever seen the 1930s version where Blanche actually calls her 'the pretty young governess' and Jane hangs her head, with its shining blond curls and mopes about being plain and quakerish in her huge frock. ;)<BR/><BR/>Re: the 'da da dum's,<BR/>the way some of these folks over-dramatise JE is really amusing. Even some of the better adaptations seem to fall into the trap. And then there are the silly ones like this ;) My friend Alisa parodied the same thing after she listened to the show:<BR/><BR/>"Jane: Oh wait you mean that sexy, gruff, mysterious, dark man was Mr. R?<BR/><BR/>Housekeeper: Yep...<BR/><BR/>Jane: Did he ask about me? *waggles eyebrows*<BR/><BR/>Housekeeper: Nope..<BR/><BR/>DA DA DOOM!<BR/><BR/>Jane: *inner dialogue* So he asked me to tea...<BR/><BR/>DA DA DOOM!<BR/><BR/>Jane: Okay what is frightening about that? The lack of spoons?<BR/><BR/>DA DA DOOm!"Brontëanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12871588304265056120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14259201.post-1128272854443798922005-10-02T13:07:00.000-04:002005-10-02T13:07:00.000-04:00Very interesting post.

I tend not to like changes as far as the Brontës are concerned though.<BR/><BR/>Yesterday the following made me laugh:<BR/><BR/><I>Jane: "I am going to go for a walk" (DA DA DUM!!!!)<BR/>Mr. Rochester: "Let's go into the garden" (DA DA DUM!!!!!)”</I><BR/><BR/>Cristina from BrontëBlog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
