A LOVE STORY I Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester [ 2006 ]

Edit of Jane Eyre, BBC 2006 version, by Toby Stephens and Ruth Wilson.

Jane is a very resilient woman, she grew up without her parents, she was rejected by her aunt who sent her to a very strict school, where she met her first friend, but who soon died of an illness, however, Jane continued her routine at Lowood Institution and got the basis of her knowledge.

With this, Jane begins a new phase in her life, she writes an advertisement in the newspaper and is soon called to tutor a French girl at Thornfield Hall.

Thornfield is practically a character apart, and very much reflects the self-image of the Lord of the house, Mr. Edward Rochester.

Rochester has a mysterious, ironic and sometimes rude temper, he is very rich but screws up his life. However, he sees in Jane an innocent and sincere young woman. Gradually, Jane and Rochester create a bond of trust and friendship, through the long conversations proposed by Rochester.

Many mysteries surround Thornfield Hall, but the relationship between Jane and the Lord of the house enters a new level when Rochester decides to marry and brings guests to spend a few days at Thornfield. Among these guests is Miss Blanche Ingram, whom Rochester led Jane to believe he would marry.

With the wedding in sight, Jane decides to get away of Thornfield, but Rochester proposes to Jane marry him and they both agreed. What seemed like a dream, however, turned into a nightmare, when on her wedding day, Jane discovers that Rochester had a lunatic wife living at Thornfield, which explained many of the mysteries surrounding the place.

Jane understands Rochester's situation, but decides to leave him.

After a year living with a family who rescued her from death, Jane continues to hear and remember Rochester.

At another turning point in her life, Jane decides that she will return to Rochester and discovers that he has been blinded by a fire set at Thornfield by his lunatic wife, who died in the incident.

In the end, the two remain together.

Love, love, love this version of Jane Eyre. Ruth and Toby are perfect and play off each other so well.

[monikaboskova]

Toby Stephens is the best Rochester ever!

[Vida-ei]

Jane Eyre is an extremely passionate novel and this really is the best version because it shows not only their passion for eachother but their passion as individual people which I find other versions don’t show as well. I do not think it is too flirty at all - instead, I think “finally a version that captures all this sexual tension oozing throughout the book!” I found other versions either Rochester too harsh and cold or Jane too prim and proper. Jane has always been a very passionate woman, from her outbursts as a child to knowing a passionless marriage with St John is inconceivable. Her ‘innocence’ is only physical as throughout the book she is discovering her internal passion. She fancies Rochester almost from the first moment when he falls from his horse, even though she doesn’t realise but the book strongly hints the effect this has on her as she sees his strong dark face all the way home and even wishes to see him again when walking back. He’s the first man she’s met in this way and from that moment onwards is working out what those sexual feelings are. He completely arouses them in her so much so that just being around him makes her physically stronger and alive ‘I gathered flesh and strength.’ She’s restrained because of status and the idea he is marrying Blanche. Rochester on the other hand is fascinated with her from the start having little faith in women returning home failed at finding true love. The falling of the horse scene is a perfect symbol of how Rochester has been riding through life in one direction but then Jane ‘throws’ him off course. In the book we find out that after their first encounter he secretly watches her in the library but still keeps his distance because he too is working out his feelings as she challenges him like no other woman has and resembles everything pure he was searching for. He had till now been looking for the perfect woman by bedding mistresses throughout Europe, knowing that’s all he can have as he can’t marry. With Jane he doesn’t know what to do having now found the perfect woman but knows she would never be his mistress and that he can’t/shouldn’t marry her. He’s desperate to know how Jane feels about him to guide him on what to do next. He hints at her whether she would find happiness even though it could be ‘wrong’. He loves being in her company and wants to find ways to bring out her passion and see whether she has true feelings for him. Trying to make her jealous with Blanche is the only way he knows to uncover her feelings as in the book he basically says you can’t be jealous if you’ve never felt love. He doesn’t expect her to reveal her feelings so passionately and when she does he just has to propose which is why he says ‘god forgive me, I am to keep her.’ Anyway, long comment but for anyone who says this version is too passionate, the whole book oozes with sexual tension and Toby and Ruth have absolutely mastered this!

There is no doubt. Toby is the best Rochester. ❤❤

[jennyvalcourt]

If you've never cried when Rochester does on Janes return, you have no soul. Not even debatable.

[JustMegan]

Toby will always be my favorite Rochester

[Rome]

They are so perfect together. Awesome chemistry

[dispersionlostinthestars]

"He was the first to recognise me and to love what he saw." Jane Eyre. My favourite Jane Eyre actress I think.

[sorayabranco]

this is by far the best version of jane eyre

[beverleyroberts]

I've watched this many times. Charlotte Bronte wrote beautifully. Ruth Wilson was perfect for Jane Eyre and Toby Stephens perfect for Mr Rochester. Such a beautiful story and the chemistry between the two actors was perfect! 🌸

[maritkristianehauganwick]

They are perfect together, its the best version more romantic ❤🥰

[lizh]

I love this one so much, Toby does a PHENOMENAL job, my only complaint is that after reading the book I feel like they did not put enough of Mr. Rochesters dialogue into the short series, it was almost perfect but honestly they needed to put more of his dialogue into this short series to really understand him, his character is much more throughly developed in the book and you get a much better sense of his anguish, and his searching heart.

[Brontedreamer]

I can’t stop watching this! My favourite adaptation of Jane Eyre! 😊❤❤

[ranjanarawat]

This one and the movie version of Jane Eyre starring Michael Fassbender.. Both are my favorites. ❤

[deborah]

This is really nicely edited! I always thought it strange that many people feel Wuthering Heights a more compelling love story than Jane Eyre. WH always struck me as a tale of revenge and obsession, whereas JE is a love story in the purest sense of the term.

[sonyabyrd]

Yoooo, this fan edit is the greatest thing I"ve ever watched! 🥰😍🤩

[veronicaalvacota]

Es sin duda la mejor versión de Jane Eyre. La actriz se come el papel y emociona con la sensibilidad que destila. Yo me atrevería a decir que muestra toda la sensibilidad que las palabras de la autora dejan impresas en las páginas del libro. 💞

[Will-he-wont-he]

Of all the versions .. this is my favorite. Ruth Wilson is perfect ..credible and beguiling ... Toby an excellent actor ..I thought may have been too good looking for the part .. a personal assessment which I'm sure many women will disagree with. Anyway ... I savour this excellent english production.

[meganhuggins]

I’ve watched this version several times and for me it’s the best!! I watched the Ciaran Hinds version last week and couldn’t manage watching to the end. I thought it was dreadful.

[karenfroud]

Watched this so many times its perfect. Such brilliant casting
