Charlotte Bronte – Quixotando

24 Frames: Jane Eyre (Cary Fukunaga, 2011)

When Lawrence “returns to tenderness” with Lady Chatterley’s Lover, he also turns to Jane Eyre, apparently determined to show that Jane should have been mated to the wrathful Heathcliff rather than buried in Victorian niceness with the safely crippled Rochester.
