What is the fascination with the novel Jane Eyre?

Question

Charlotte Bronte's novel had depictions of domestic and marriage life from the 19th century. The piece seems to be produced more frequently than other classics as a feature film. What creates so much interest?

Answer 1

Of compelling appeal in the Bronte's Jane Eyre is the positive portrayal of a young woman who refuses to bow to inequities associated with class and religious conservatisms of the mid-nineteenth century. In her resilience, wit, and fidelity to the "cause" that is Mr. Rochester, she serves as an early avatar of contemporary conceptions of what womanhood entails. Despite her lowly class and ordinary physical appearance, she occupies a subject position and proves a case in point against the argument that women in her station were (or should be) objects solely.

Answer 2

The novel exposes several severe features of Victorian life, has an endearing example of forgiving enemies like Christ, then has a contrived marriage that promises to eventually have 'enough of love' and also has a segment in which the void of Jane's poor life is filled by an honest father-figure. These combine to answer why there may be so many productions of the Charlotte Bronte novel.
