As a bildungsroman, JaneEyre follows the journey of its heroine's development from youth to intellectual maturity. As the novel progresses the theme of religion is one that takes a strong hold on Jane herself. In order to analyse the question, one must differentiate between Paganism and Christianity. The simple difference is that Paganism believes in a variety of Gods, each controlling a different aspect of life. Although Pagans deem their God's are perfect they understand that no one God can control the whole world. Pagans believe that everything happens for a reason, whether it is a thunderstorm, a good or bad crop, or a death or birth of an infant. The God's do everything for a reason.

JaneEyre- What can I say I love this film...
Ever since this was on BBC on a Sunday night, I found myself hooked to it. I am youngish and I would never have thought I would have liked one of the Bronte tales, as this is what my Nan enjoys but I really enjoyed it that much I had to get the DVD version!

Being a Charlotte Bronte and JaneEyre fan I wasn't expecting it to appeal to me as much as it did. Another period drama to fill in an hour on a Sunday evening. Nevertheless, appealed to me it did.
JaneEyre. The classic story of a plain governess falling in love with the master of the house and vice versa. A tale which many a person could watch and read without getting tired off. With a simple background you could easily say what happens is all very obvious and predictable. However that doesn't make it any less enjoyable.
This BBC adaption stars Toby Stephens ( son of Maggie Smith!) and Ruth Wilson. Both fitting their roles perfectly with Ruth portraying a deep emotive and modest Jane and Toby becoming the powerful and masculine Mr Rochester. The way he managed to show the character as a real emotional figure, reflecting ...
