Jane Eyre (1996 film)

Jane Eyre is a 1996 American, British, French and Italian romantic epic and dramatic feature film adaptation of Charlotte Bronts 1847 novel of the same name. This Hollywood version, directed by Franco Zeffirelli, is similar to the original novel, although it compresses and eliminates most of the plot in the last quarter of the book the running away, the trials and tribulations, new found relations, and new job to make it fit into a 2hour movie.

The marriage is stopped by Berthas brother Richard Mason Edward de Souza and lawyer Briggs Peter Woodthorpe. Jane flees, her world crashing down is a nightmare. She recovers in the parsonage of her original aunts home, discovers she is now a wealthy woman inheriting her longlost uncles fortune in Madeira. She gets a proposal of marriage from Parson St. John Rivers but her heart and soul is with Rochester. She goes back to find Thornfield Hall burnt down but Rochester is crippled and blinded by the fire set by his mad wife, Bertha, who has killed herself in the fire. However, Janes love for Rochester remains undiminished she nurses him back to health, he recovers his eyesight and they marry.The location for Thornfield Hall is Haddon Hall, Bakewell, Derbyshire, UK Since Zeffirellis use of Haddon Hall, subsequent versions of Jane Eyre have used it and is now apparently synonymous with Thornfield Hall. Prior to Zeffirellis location use, Haddon Hall had been once used before Jane Eyre as the castle for The Princess Bride. ........
