title: Film Genre, Narrative and Directorship: Representations of Feminism in Jane Eyre

creator: Lopez, Mark

subject: Academic theses.

description: This paper shall evaluate two recent adaptations of the novel: Susanna White’s 2006 film and Cary Fukunaga’s 2011 version. The criticism shall primarily investigate how the films sustain the novel’s feminist ideology and how they represent feminism. The paper posits that both versions succeed at transforming Charlotte Brontë’s classic work into different yet effective films that are equal with their source novel. However, their differences in representing feminism are clearly marked by their disparate approaches to film genre, directorial discretion and narrative and textual interpretation.
