 Bronte, C (2011) Jane Eyre. Image available online at: http://janeeyremasterpiece.blogspot.co.uk

This image was used for my first blog. It is useful to show the character of Jane Eyre and how she was depicted in the 19^th century

I used this arrow for making my mind maps. They helped structure how one thought came off another and how my ideas developed.

This image, like the one above, helps describe the image Jane Eyre had to give. She had to be a symbol of the 19^th century, dressed in 19^th century clothin, but standing alone, as she tried to defeat the patriarchal society.

Bronte, C (1847) Jane Eyre. Booked published in London.

In order to complete my work, I had to read through some of the original novel. Although it was written in old English, and at times was hard to understand, I could get a good idea of how Jane Eyre was written.

Chandler, D., (n.d.) Syntagmatic Analysis, Semiotics for Beginners, available at: http://users.aber.ac.uk/dgc/Documents/S4B/sem04.html

This enabled me to make better sense of the story. Many characters from the novel fitted into several of Chandler’s seven character roles.

Bronte, C, E (1920) Charlotte and Emily Bronte, the complete novels. Published August 30^th, 1995 by Grammy.

As I spoke about the life of Charlotte Bronte, the writer of Jane Eyre, it would be appropriate to include her sister, also a recognized author, Emily Bronte. The two wrote poems, and became known together, then decided to go their own ways.

This image added colour to my mind map. It is used to describe one of the themes of the novel.

Messeh, A (2012) Independent. Image posted Agust 20, 2012 on Fr. Anthony, available at: http://franthony.com/2012/08/the-confessions-of-an-independent-aholic/

This image is also used to describe a theme from the novel. I thought this would be appropriate in depicting the theme of independent, as it shows a person standing alone, while a group link next to the one.

This is another image showing a theme in my mind map. This is an appropriate picture depicting how Jane Eyre tried to equalize herself to Mr. Rochester.

Coats, K (2011) Social Class, article posed on the 24^th April, 2011 on blogspot. Available at: http://kalvincoates.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/social-class.html

This pyramid also portrayed a theme shown in the novel. Jane Eyre is very much about social class, as how she tries to work her way to the top of the hierarchy.

Blogs (2009) Christian cross, posted on blogspot. Image available at: http://healthnewstoday-just.blogspot.co.uk/2009/09/cross-wallpapers-hd.html

This image showed the theme of religion, and how Jane, throughout the novel, tries to find her own way to pray and practice the teachings of Christianity.

This is an image from the graphic novel, Jane Eyre. This will show another adaptation of Jane Eyre, and how creative it can be shown, with limited words.

This image shows how well known Jane Eyre was, branching onto TV and radio, with different adaptations of the novel shown.

Burns, J (2003) Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, The Graphic Novel, Quick Text published by Classical Comics Ltd. Online version available at: http://classicalcomics.com/images/samples/PDFs/JaneEyre_QuickText.pdf

This is an adaptation I looked at depth in. It was the only graphic novel made of Jane Eyre, and gave me an idea of which I could use for the next assignment.

Rhys, J (1966) Wide Sargasso Sea. Published, first version of part one published in 1964, full version published in 1966 by Andre Deutsche

This is another adaptation I looked at depth in. It is from the point of another character within the novel. Wide Sargasso Sea was also worldly known, showing from a characters view point which the main story, Jane Eyre told nothing about. This is also one I looked at doing for my next assignment, as I could choose a character and write it from their point of view.

Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys

Rhys, J (1966)

Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys is an adaptation of Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre was published in 1847, and Wide Sargasso Sea was published years later in 1966. It is a re-make of the novel, from another characters point of view. 

The novel is from Bertha's point of view, explaining her previous life, how she got married to Mr. Rochester, how she slowly descended into madness and how Mr. Rochester locked her in the attic after their marriage, with a maid to look after her. 

I could also use this for my next assignment, as I could make a mini video / movie clip from another characters point of view and focus in on one part of the story. As we do not know much about Bertha, Mr. Mason or their previous life, I could use one of them and portray an event from their point of view. For example, I could use the wedding scene of Jane and Mr. Rochester, or I could do it as a prequel to Jane Eyre, how Mr. Rochester came to marry Bertha.

Jane Eyre - The Graphic Novel

Burns, J (2003)

As you can see from my previous post of adaptations of Jane Eyre, there are many motion pictures, online adaptations, television, radio, and musical adaptations. Only one Graphic Novel adaptation of Jane Eyre has been created by John M. Burns in 2003. There are two different versions of the graphic novel; the full version or a quick text (the same story but a shorter version. 

This adaptation, like many others, is a direct link to the original story of Jane Eyre. The comic was specifically made with limited words for easy reading, and to educate adults and children about the 19th century.

This adaptation I could use for my next assignment. I could also create a graphic novel, focussing in on one part of the novel. I could even focus in on one part of the novel from another characters point of view. For example, I could show Bertha's point of view, and in the graphic novel, I could focus in one the part where she attacks members of the house hold and rips Jane's veil before the wedding.

Freytag's Triangle

Wheeler, K (2004)

The story of Jane Eyre can be transferred onto Freytag's Triangle.

As the story starts, Jane grows up in Gateshead, attending Lowood and then moving on to Thornfield Hall. These events lead to the climax in the story at Thornfield Hall. When Jane is about to Marry Mr. Rochester, and Mr. Mason declares he can't as Mr. Rochester is still married to Mr. Mason's sister Bertha, this presents a climax in the story. This is seen as the climax because everything in Jane's life is moving forward up till this point. When she refused to marry Mr. Rochester, and runs away in the middle of the night, she finds herself begging on the streets. The story then slowly moves Jane to her destiny, as she is found by her cousins of John Eyre, taking her in and allowing Jane to continue to find herself, as well as her true love. The story comes to a close, back at the bottom of the triable as Jane goes back to Mr. Rochester, this time to marry him as his equal.
