Good Morning Everyone,
Today, we will be finishing up the 1999 A&E film adaptation of Jane Eyre that we began in class on Friday. If you have not yet posted a comment to the blog in response to it (using one of the questions in the last post) make sure that you do in order to receive class credit.
For the rest of the period, you will be working on a peer review of a classmate's blog. This will count towards your classwork grade. This will allow you to share your blog with another member of the class as well as to learn more about the peer review process. Additionally, this will allow you to see what you need to edit or build upon in your own blog.
In order to receive credit for this, please answer the following questions about your partner's blog in a word document that you will print out and hand in at the end of class. You should give one copy to the person whose blog you reviewed and one copy to me. To receive full credit, you should be thorough and point to specific examples in your partner's test. You should always provide constructive criticism--any reviews that include hurtful criticisms or put-downs of the person being reviewed will receive no credit.

ReplyDeleteAt the start of the movie, Fforde chooses to show scenes in which Mr. Rochester and Jane begin to grow feelings for the other. As the movie goes on, he demonstrates scenes in which Mr. Rochester shows anger towards Jane rather then love. Fforde does this in order to depict Mr. Rochester’s feelings growing stronger toward Jane. He becomes rash and impatient towards her, in fear of developing emotions in which he may not want to have. Jane is depicted as a strong woman in the movie. Fforde’s scene in which Jane stands up to Rochester demonstrates the characterization of Jane. She has been an outspoken character since she was young, the scene in which she stands up to her aunt demonstrating her strong willed personality. Fforde’s characters are round rather then flat. Due to the constant development of them as the story continues, I do think Fforde is faithful to his characters.
It seems that Fforde only chooses the scenes where Rochester isn't depicted as the cruel character from Jane Eyre. In Jane Eyre, he is only made to fit the role of Jane's love interest while Jane is the more developed character. In the Eyre Affair, Jane has a small role while Rochester is a well-rounded character whose action set a path for the further development of the plot. He seems to be a somewhat different character because of Fforde's specific use of literary elements that make him someone the audience can respect. Along with respect comes trust, which shows how faithful Fforde is to these characters.
