And we already have SCTV's definitive version, starring Andrea Martin
as Jane Eyrehead and Joe Flaherty as Rochester ("Wah, Jane!")

No offense to the fans of female fiction, but Eyre is such an "every-
woman" character that - despite it being her story and told from her
point of view - the character of Jane remains a virtual non-presence
in the both the novel and in the various film and television versions.
We hear her voice, events are filtered through her perceptions, she is
involved in all, yet she feels curiously "missing" from her own story.
Jane seems to disappear, as if by her very ubiquity.

The male lead provides virtually all of the color and fireworks, and
when there has been a worthwhile Rochester in the adaptation, "Eyre"
as a property usually succeeds. Without a Rochester of some gravitas,
however, even the best casting for Jane doesn't seem to help.

Fascinating how this property is remade virtually every 10 years, as
if on schedule.

Just what I was thinking. Same goes for Wuthering Heights and Pride and

AS: She's clearly not an intellectual.

EK: Well, in all fairness, Lowood School's emphasis on sadism directed
against young girls probably didn't make it the greatest facility for
amassing first class mental training, at least before the change of
management.

Given Rochester's resources, I'm sure that Jane blossomed into a
"Great Lady," or perhaps even a "Great Soul" - probably more
proficient and admirable in the realm of human emotions and needs than
in the world of arts and letters. Certainly, there is nothing amiss in
that.
