and she has been much slower than her predecessors to hire staff or to open the white house to visitors , as has always been the first lady’s responsibility . michelle obama nicknamed the white house “the people’s house” and made sure it was open to visitors right after her husband took office in 2009 .
but if we keep showing up , if we keep fighting the good fight , if we keep doing what we know is right , then we always get there . we always do . maybe not in our lifetimes , but maybe in our children’s lifetimes , or our grandchildren’s lifetimes .
i ' m referring , of course , to arya , the younger daughter of house stark . she’s spent the past couple years in the free city of braavos studying to be an assassin with the death cult known as the faceless men . her mentor , the assassin formerly known as jaqen h ' ghar , has pushed arya to prove that she can give up her identity and become
no one
in the service of the many - faced god .
downplayed with the magistracy of canopus in battletech . while it ' s a matriarchy and the highest ranking positions in the government are reserved for women , it ' s never noted that men are looked down upon or mistreated and there are no restrictions against men serving in the military ( even as officers ) or any other careers . in universe , the magistracy is known for its relaxed stance toward sex .

the feminist orbital colony margaret in transhuman space . given the transhumanism of the setting , they have to be flexible about the definition of

smurfy grove in smurfs the lost village is a lady land of female smurfs , who are mostly armed , masked , and ready to take on any dangers that come their way , including the four male smurfs and smurfette who come searching to find their village . it is only through smurfwillow ' s gentle diplomacy that the female smurfs treat their guests with any sort of kindness .
the significance of arya extinguishing her candle with the sword would appear to be her advantage fighting in darkness , following her combat training while she was blind . this strongly suggests the waif must not have had the same training , as she is clearly a better fighter than arya and unencumbered by any injuries . in turn this implies that arya ' s blinding was a punishment specific to her and not part of
regular
faceless man training .
the story of arya ' s time with the faceless men is one of her failing at this . she hides her sword , needle , instead of giving it up with all the other trappings of her old life . she murders someone without the many - faced god’s blessing ( ser meryn trant , a westerosi who was on arya ' s oft - chanted shit list ) and then refuses to kill one of her assigned targets , an actor known as lady crane . it ' s pretty clear arya is and always will be arya—she can’t even hide her emotions when watching a play about her family’s downfall . though to be fair , we’re all still sad about ned .
pirates of the caribbean : dead men tell no tales is the fifth entry in the swashbuckling film series , and like its four predecessors , it’s packed to the gills with pirates , sea monsters , action , adventure , johnny depp doing whatever it is johnny depp does , and an egregious disregard for the laws of physics .
a piece that could very well be the trope namer is the short story sultana ' s dream by indian author rokeya sakhawat hossain , in which a woman kept in seclusion visits a magical utopia for women called , you guessed it , lady land , where traditional indian gender roles are reversed ( men are kept in seclusion and do domestic work ) , which results in solar powered flying cars and world peace .
nagasarete airantou is about an island with no men . when the male protagonist of the series accidentally winds up on the island , all the girls are so excited to have a male around that they do things like have tournaments to try to win the right to become his bride .
the hak ' tyl in stargate sg - 1 . to avoid death at the hands of the goa ' uld moloch , a group of female warriors have set up a separate society where they can raise baby girls they manage to smuggle out of the temple . while the older women do not necessarily have any hatred for men ( their leader , ishta , develops a bit of a relationship with teal ' c ) , most of the younger girls have never even seen a man .
grady hendrix , a founder of the film festival at lincoln center who endured the challenge of tracking her down , suggested that ms . mao was part of a bigger story .
leaving aside the basic storytelling holes in dead men tell no tales , the whole movie is tiring because half of it is cobbled together from elements of earlier movies . an island that no man can find ? featured in curse o f t he black pearl . undead pirates ? see films one , two , and three . macguffin leading to command of the sea ? dead man’s chest . antagonist who wants to kill jack sparrow because of a personal slight , and can walk through walls , but can’t go on dry land ? dead man’s chest and at world’s end . jack and barbossa fighting over who gets to captain the black pearl ? curse and world’s end . evil british officer who wants to harness the supernatural thing to wipe out pirates and take command of the oceans ? chest and world’s end again . henry and carina , the fresh new faces to head the franchise ? dead men tell no tales isn’t even subtle about trying to re - create the original pairing of will and elizabeth all over again . he’s the son of a pirate who lost his father , she’s skeptical of the piratical life but comes around — sound familiar ?

once again , eyreaholics are divided over which miniseries is better , although it is really a matter of personal preference . the 1973 miniseries includes voice - over narration from jane , which garnered mixed reactions from the viewers . poster “dr _ mendoncacorreia” defends the use of brontë’s original prose in the voice - overs , stating :
most likely if you love costume drama then you’ve seen some adaptation of charlotte bronte’s classic jane eyre about the tortured rochester and the impassioned jane .
at least some of the later jane eyre adaptations have flirted with jane’s subjectivity , like the 1997 miniseries with samantha morton , in which a frightened jane contemplates herself in the mirror , and the 2006 miniseries with ruth wilson , which experiments with camera angles to indicate jane’s subjugation and emphasizes jane as an artist—someone who looks in her own right . but directors and screenwriters have consistently opted to strip the plot of not only culturally shocking material ( e . g . , jane’s possible marriage to st . john rivers ) but also of its most sensationalist , gothic , melodramatic excess . part of the problem derives from the shift from jane’s subjectivity to the more neutral point of view of the camera ; even the stevenson adaptation rarely shoots scenes from jane’s perspective , so that thornfield hall looks frightening and massive because it actually is .

reader , i married him . toby stephens ( the son of dame maggie smith ) plays the brusque , flawed mr rochester with exactly the right admixture of arrogance and warmth , while newcomer ruth wilson is luminous as english rose jane eyre - like a swan swimming , her impassive face nevertheless conveys a wealth of feeling churning beneath .
my older sister and i have just finished watching bbc one’s jane eyre . the novel by charlotte brontë has always been one of my favorites , and rochester and jane’s story has always reduced me to tears whenever i go back to the book . i was excited when i found out bbc had done a miniseries for it — i adored bbc’s six - part pride and prejudice , and to date , i have only been able to watch one other adaptation of jane eyre — 1996’s jane eyre starring william hurt and charlotte gainsbourg ( which was alright , but rather lacking ) .

last sunday kenneth griffith , mr mason in the 1970 production of jane eyre with susannah york and george c . scott ,
has a competition to win a copy . the question is as easy as in which year was jane eyre originally published .
charlotte bronte’s romantic novel , jane eyre , has been brought to life in this lavish , complex and sexy bbc production .
there’s a scene in the miniseries where jane apologizes for not asking permission to read the books in the library , and he says she’s a thinking woman and can of course read them . that’s not in the book .
currently , there have been over twenty film and tv adaptations , with another film announced for 2011 featuring mia wasikowska of tim burton ' s alice in wonderland . ( you can also read my review of jane eyre 2011 : cary fukunaga ' s gritty , gothic adaptation ) . what is remarkable is how the jane eyre movies and miniseries have allowed fans of the novel to share their feelings , opinions , and questions about jane eyre . people who are introduced to the story by an adaptation meet in online message boards with longtime fans of the novel . when i browse through the message boards for jane eyre on the internet movie database ( imdb ) , i find that the fans ( or “eyreaholics” ) belong to different “camps , ” so to speak . [ 1 ] there are those who will defend one adaptation’s merits over another’s , arguing fiercely in favor of the 1983 miniseries over the 1973 version ( or vice versa ) . purists gripe about jane and edward’s “racy” farewell scene in the latest 2006 adaptation , while others appreciate the modern touches .
the “jane eyre” of today takes few liberties with characters , plot or language . usually classics are revered in the classroom and mauled by hollywood : “jane eyre” is treated with kid gloves in movies and is under constant critical review by scholars and writers .
i find the 2006 version much better . ruth wilson is a brilliant actress , and toby stephens is truly charming ( though perhaps a bit too goofy for rochester ) .
thanks , jaclyn ! glad i ' m not the only je - obsessed person too ! i even like the same versions you do - - the 2006 and 1983 .

but all who wish to immerse themselves in grand storytelling should settle in and let jane beguile them .
i adore jane eyre , this was in fact the first “classic” that i can remember reading on my own ( not for class ) . it’s still one of my absolute favorites . i’ve only seen the 2006 and 2011 versions , some of my friends and i have done our own miniseries marathons at various points , part of how i stumbled into the wonder that is elizabeth gaskell . i personally prefer the 2006 version more than 2011 , i think it develops the story line better plus stephens and wilson are just so adorable together . admittedly , i am still waiting to see a version that does the gypsy scene well - that is one of my favorite scenes from the book and would love to see a good film adaptation of it .

most popular hero in literature ,
ahead of the likes of heathcliff , rhett butler , and colin firth . eyre , the 1847 novel by english writer charlotte brontë , has frequently been adapted for film , radio , television and theatre , and has inspired a number of rewritings and reinterpretations .
in 1973 and 1983 , the bbc released two jane eyre miniseries . the first , directed by joan craft and starring sorcha cusack and michael jayston , is made up of five episodes , 275 minutes total . the second , directed by julian amyes and featuring zelah clarke and timothy dalton , has eleven thirty - minute episodes . an obvious benefit of a miniseries is the extended time available to tell the story . the director can develop the story at a more leisurely pace and choose to leave in small details that would be excised in a theatrical version .
i ' ve seen at least 7 versions of the novel . i like at least four of them and love three versions . the ones i love are the versions from 1983 , 2006 and 2011 .
in addition to examining how the jane eyre adaptations have presented the story , i will look at the responses of “eyreaholics” and determine how they represent the modern readership . note that since 1910 , there has been at least one jane eyre adaptation per decade . since there are so many , i will focus on the most significant ones , including the five that i have seen , the 1970 , 1973 , 1983 , 1996 , and 2006 versions . yes , i am something of an eyreaholic myself .
jane eyre ( 1943 ) . condition : new sealed dvd . region : all , world wide , it can be played at any dvd player .
i particularly enjoyed jeanette brown ' s portrayal of the housekeeper mrs fairfax and the innocently , well - rounded performance of anwen pugh as jane eyre .
there’s something you should know about me . give me a miniseries adaption of a literary classic with beautiful costumes to watch and i will be a happy woman . i’ve been a bit of a miniseries junkie for as long as i can remember . i first got hooked on anne of green gables and then the colin firth and jennifer ehle pride and prejudice . i love seeing my favorite books as films . that is , unless they completely ruin them ( yes , andrew davies , i’m referring to your screenplay for the recent adaption of brideshead that sends me into fits of fury . ) anyhow , i love me a good miniseries . i would wager there’s nary a worthwhile miniseries i haven’t seen . so , i am now passing on my expertise ( derived from excessive period film watching / laziness ) to you , dear reader .
the best version of jane eyre i have seen was the 1983 miniseries with zelah clark and timothy dalton in the leads . dalton is wonderfully dark and brooding and clark is defiantly wonderful . it also features judy cornwall as mrs reed . the interiors are typical , but the out door shots are wonderful . very little is cut from the novel . highly recommended !
no matter the persuasion - - no respectable victorian lady would have - - let alone the particulars of the scene ( which , by the way , nothing happened , but it almost could have been something had jane been slightly weaker ) . their chemistry in this version of jane eyre was probably the most modern i ' ve seen in an adaptation of jane eyre .
charlotte bronte ' s jane eyre - an a & e ; film - ( 1999 ) - dvd . small tear in shrink - wrap on front .
charlotte bronte ' s jane eyre is a pre - owned dvd in good condition . the disc has a few light scratches that do not affect play .
in the miniseries , adele was left to rochester as a baby , not brought up by her mother , yet she still sang and danced as if she had lived with her mother . that didn’t make sense .
one of the most talked - about scenes was when rochester tries to convince jane to stay with him after their aborted wedding . they sit on a bed together ; just after rochester insists that they can live together chastely like brother and sister , they lie back on the bed and begin kissing . some viewers were shocked by the steamy scene and how it strayed dramatically from the novel . however , others argued that passion is a major underlying theme in jane eyre and that showing jane and rochester expressing their desires was natural ( “jane eyre 2006” ) . personally , i side with the purists and argue that brontë’s intent was to have jane not give in to her desires . i will concede though that the scene makes jane’s painful separation from rochester very poignant and believable .
haley : the wilson / stephens miniseries stays closer to the novel because it has the time to follow the plot . there is one dreadful “special effects” scene when the tree is struck by lightning that is just embarrassing .

i believe i ' ve already voiced them beneath the individual categories , but just to clarify , my only major problem with this adaption is the screenplay . that ' s a major letdown , but despite that , the 2006 je is a solid adaptation . it has , debatably , the largest following of any adaption . a lot of that has to do with placing . this miniseries was released in the prime of a younger generation of

jane , in a break from what other janes have worn in other versions of jane eyre , wears grey rather than black . in fact , i don ' t think she ever wears black . however , in the novel :
thanks again , lady f , for reading and sharing your thoughts . i like the imdb boards because the eyreaholics can get into really involved discussions about each of the adaptations , comparing scenes and actors , etc . i enjoyed both mia w . and michael f . in the latest film . love the 2006 miniseries . i appreciate the 1983 one for being so close to the original text ( agree with you about the awkward height difference ) . i ' ve only seen the 1973 miniseries once , so i can ' t recall specifically how i felt about the two leads . but thanks again for stopping by ; it ' s nice to get comments from readers .
so every now and then , i ' ll go a little crazy and spend hours re - watching several versions of jane eyre , mainly the 2006 , 1983 , and 1996 versions . this has been one of those times . i ' m so glad i came upon your hub ! it ' s good to know i ' m not the only one with a little bit of a jane eyre obsession : ) . i absolutely adore the 2006 bbc version , mainly because it was the first one i saw after reading the book . second place would have to go to the 1983 version . i think it ' s very well done . i can ' t wait to get my hands on some of the older versions . anyway , i enjoyed reading your reviews !
haley : i love toby stephens as rochester , but i’m not sure if it’s because i’m biased because he’s the son of my beloved dame maggie smith . i mean , can you imagine maggie smith being your mother ? ! i really enjoy the banter between jane and rochester in this miniseries .
i love the 1983 adaption of jane eyre above all other versions…i agree completely . it is one of my very favorite movies and shall remain so . . : )

most recently , there’s the 2011 film with mia wasikowska and michael fassbender which brought a gothic horror style to the story ; before that the unforgettable 2006 version with toby stephens and ruth wilson . then there are the two ’90s adaptations , one of which showcased anna paquin as a young jane .
this would explain why the other versions of jane eyre had jane wearing black , but i wonder why this one had jane wearing grey instead of black if the jane in the book found that her grey dress was too fancy to be worn on any occasion . could it be a emphasis on her passionate nature ? maybe . but it was different from the original novel .
i love every jane eyre hub you write ! i think the first jane eyre version i saw was the 1944 version and i love it to this day . fontaine and welles gave the characters interesting dimensions that i haven ' t seen in most other versions . then the 1983 miniseries is by far the most faithful . i do like timothy dalton but i guess my interpretation of rochester was never melodramatic . in the scene after jane faints and she wants to leave thornfield , i felt that dalton made rochester into a whimpering baby . it is still a good adaption though . then 1996 is alright and i ' ve loved the 2006 version every time i watch it . thank you also for mentioning the musical . i was amazed how brilliantly the lyricist used phrases from the novel as well as their thesaurus to make each character ' s song suit them . great job !
brimming with sly jokes and literary allusions , the eyre affair offers a new twist on brontë’s and other classic authors’ works . it was my first exposure to jane eyre , and it made me interested in reading the novel , not knowing exactly what the “true” ending was .
this might just be the most perfect jane eyre wedding gown ( other than being the wrong period ) : it’s pretty , yet plain , well suited to her character .
después de ver el otro día una edición en japonés de jane eyre , hoy toca acercanos un poco más hacia españa para ver esta llamativa y característica edició . . .
when one poster on imdb wondered how paquin’s passionate jane grew into gainsbourg’s “bland and wooden” adult version , “jrice - 11” argued passionately in gainsbourg’s defense : jane’s “strength of purpose was her desire to live , her beauty was wanting to live correctly as well as stay alive . jane [ eyre ] wanted little out of life but to do her duty as she saw it , and ms g . [ gainsbourg ] portrays that well , yet allows us to see that jane has a warmth , a passion beneath that exterior” ( “jane eyre 1996” ) .
agreed . the 2011 was a close , but no cigar , version ( not terrible , just not quite as good as it could have been ) , while the 2006 hewed closer to the novel with the acting and the costumes .

popular novels have also taken jane eyre to new levels . in 1966 , jean rhys published wide sargasso sea , a prequel of sorts to jane eyre . the novel features bertha mason as the protagonist and her meeting and marrying rochester . it has also been adapted to film . poster “yaweh yireh” jokingly refers to the age difference between rochester and jane when she describes her reaction to watching wide sargasso sea : “he kept telling bertha how much he loved her , and i kept thinking , ' no , you don ' t . back in england there ' s a little baby who you ' re going to find true love with in fifteen years ! ' ” ( “jane eyre 2006” ) . the story explores why bertha went mad , and it was well - received by critics and readers ( “notes on novels : wide sargasso sea” ) .
' next production will be
jane eyre
by charlotte bronte , adapted for the stage by charles vance . directed by betty macgregor , this version of the classic nineteenth century story has been adapted to focus on the love between jane and rochester .
with : ruth wilson ( jane eyre ) , toby stephens ( edward rochester ) , claudia coulter ( bertha ) , francesca annis ( lady ingram ) , christina cole ( blanche ) , tara fitzgerald ( mrs . reed ) , pam ferris ( grace poole ) , andrew buchan ( st . john rivers ) and georgie henley ( young jane eyre ) .
i’ll be accompanied by eleanor , my bestie , college / post - college housemate , and fellow lover of a good 8 hour bbc miniseries in the guise of miniseries mondays . to introduce you to ellie , i should briefly explain our friendship . it might help to tell you that when ellie and i were first acquainted , we went to eat italian food together and by the time we were halfway done with our baked ziti we were singing fiddler on the roof songs . in public . probably loud . had we been introduced as young children , we would never have adapted to conversing with people who hadn’t memorized all of seven brides for seven brothers . anyhow , eleanor and i will occasionally drop in with our two cents on our favorite or most loathed miniseries / period films . we won’t stick completely to miniseries , we’ll throw a few literary film adaptions in for good measure . and , we want to hear your thoughts , too ! so , chime in in the combox .
also , biedroneczka sends along a list she found of bbc productions of jane eyre from a site connected to the bbc archives . this is the list ( programmes denote episodes ) :
firstly , there ' s another news blip about the bbc ' s new version of jane eyre with ruth wilson and toby stephens . apparently they bought some of their props from matlock
even though i am a janeite i have to admit i really enjoyed the latest version of jane eyre ( a two - part series starting on the abc on sunday at 8 . 30pm ) . it was gripping , powerful and intense . ruth wilson won a bafta nomination as the doe - eyed jane eyre while toby stephens smoulders as the complex mr rochester .
timothy dalton is best known as james bond , and some fans complain that he is too handsome for the role ( although , maybe “complain” is the wrong word ) . “martisco” believes that dalton “gives a very dynamic performance and has tons of charisma and passion . ” the poster “mamascara” adds : “i love when he calls her janet , just as in the book . that never happened in the 2006 [ version ] . and the woman who plays jane is small and elf - like , as in the book . dalton overflows with passion for jane” ( “jane eyre 1983” ) .
kayla notes that only a few of bronte’s contemporaries understood how radical jane eyre was . conservative elizabeth rigby did and accordingly hated the novel , calling it unfeminine , unchristian , and chartist ( which is to say , communist ) . kayla believes that rigby , a successful journalist , feared that jane eyre would expose her own unfeminine ambitions and perhaps her own repressed anger .
i really like what she says about the film getting jane ' s age right . jane ' s youth really does come through in the film .

it is worthwhile to bring up jane eyre ’s impact in other forms of media besides film . jane eyre has a long history on the stage , and in 2000 , it had its broadway debut as a musical . jane eyre the musical features twenty songs , the music and lyrics by paul gordon and the book by john caird . marla schaffel and james barbour star in the original broadway cast ( “the musical” ) . the lyrics faithfully maintain a lot of the original text from the novel , and some of the songs give a special voice to the characters .
that said , in modern day it’s easy to overlook the 1983 bbc miniseries when you have toby stephens or michael fassbender to choose from . even i didn’t bother to watch it for a while . but i have since atoned for the error of my ways .
from sweeping shots of the english countryside through all seasons to intimate scenes in the recesses of the manor house , this adaptation of jane eyre shows off a richness american tv projects rarely attempt .
best jane eyre adaptation i ' ve seen ! actors portrayed the characters extremely well , close to the book with few changes , stunning scenery ( thornfield is absolutely gorgeous ) and . . .
kayla also leans on jody bower’s argument that jane eyre has an “aletis” or “wandering heroine” plot . this is in contrast with male quest plots , which have more clearly defined forward - trajectories .

also tonight , abc airs the first part ( episodes 1 and 2 ) of last year ' s big bbc costume drama , i . e . jane eyre . several newspapers publish alerts :
the 1983 miniseries was the first adaptation i saw , so i have a particular fondness for it . almost five and a half hours long , it is probably the most faithful version that exists , preserving brontë’s original text in most of the dialogue . jane’s experiences before and after her time at thornfield , which are usually the ones severely condensed in adaptations , remain almost in full . thus , viewers see the child jane’s meetings with the apothecary and mr . brocklehurst , the servant bessie visiting jane at lowood school , and jane’s wanderings on the moors before reaching moor house .
i haven ' t seen the charlton heston version and i ' ve seen only short clips of the 1934 one . i also enjoy the 1973 and zefferelli versions although my favorite has to be 2011 , followed closely by 2006 . thanks for reading and commenting !
i read the book as an adolescent , re - read it as an adult and gathered the adaptations ( 1996 , 2006 and 2011 ) during time . but it ' s like a thirst that can ' t be over , i need to see more .
the 2006 four - part miniseries brought a lot of buzz and excitement to eyreaholics . here was a masterpiece theatre production with lush sets and scenery , richly detailed costumes , and a slightly modern flavor to the classic story . the series opened with young jane , played by georgie henley [ lucy pevensie in the chronicles of narnia ] , walking alone through a vast desert . the film then shows jane hidden in her window seat , engrossed in a book so much that she seems to enter different worlds . this was a memorable and creative way to start off the new adaptation , suggesting to the audience that there may be some surprises and changes along the way . additionally , the viewer becomes privy to jane’s inner world , much like it is in the novel .
well , that about wraps it up ! if i haven’t convinced you yet to watch the 1983 adaptation , let me point out i think timothy dalton is every bit as good as toby stephens from the 2006 miniseries ( which i never thought i’d say ) , and perhaps even a little bit closer to the character in the book . while toby plays off the sarcasm with great skill ( with no two actors having matched the chemistry between him and ruth wilson ) , dalton understands how to capture the true essence of a byronic .
this mini - series is a critically acclaimed adaptation of bronte ' s jane eyre . it was nominated for several awards in 2007 - 2008 , including bafta tv awards , awards from the broadcasting press guild , satellite awards , primetime emmy awards , and a golden globe award . in 2007 , the mini - series won a bafta tv award and three primetime emmy awards for outstanding art direction , outstanding costumes , and outstanding hairstyling for a miniseries or a movie .
