is the movie much different from the book?
ive read the book but ive never seen the movie...
sharesome differences i noticed:
-there's nothing about the chestnut tree until he goes blind
-they left out one of st john's sisters
-they don't talk as much in the garden, they just show the proposal
-adele goes to school in the movie
-bertha doesn't rip the veil
-after she finds out about bertha jane leaves in a different way
-william hurt isn't dark-haired
-it doesn't rain at all in the movie
-there's no gypsy!!!
i don't know if that's what you wanted... but i'm waiting for a new version to be made that's almost exactly as the book is (everybody cuts the book in half to make the movie a suitable length) *crosses fingers*

yeah thats exactly what i was looking for thanks.
i don't like to watch books that are made into movies unless they are quite simlar. it kind of ruins it for me when they change something completely different from the book.
The movie left out every thematic element, focusing on the major events of the plot rather than the character's relationships and the pervading metaphysics in the novel.
Jane and Rochester's relationship somehow becomes love in the film without explanation or motive...
Almost as bad as Z's Hamlet.
I hate to argue, but Adele also goes away to school in the book. In fact, at the end, Jane takes her out of the school Rochester sent her to, and puts her into a better school closer to them rather than bringing her "home" (or to live with them after they're married.)
