#rochester and jane

What kills me is that Thomas's declaration to Edith is essentially reminiscent of Rochester's declaration to Jane and Mia Wasikowska herself ultimately played Jane Eyre ! I find the coincidence funny.

"‘Are you injured, sir?’ I think he was swearing, but am not certain; however, he was pronouncing some formula which prevented him from replying to me directly."

jane eyre really said “i want that insane, pathetic, sobbing old man CARNALLY” and that’s why she’s our girl!

Autumn always feels like the perfect time to reread Jane Eyre, so, have some Jane and Mr. Rochester (though I've made him too cute, so, any other Brontë or Austen couple is also possible) 🍂

Mmm, I hope one day I'll manage to paint a colorful landscape and be happy with the result...It's so much easier in black and white :')

only knowing of edward rochester as a regency-era romantic hero when you’re used to what that means in austen books then actually reading jane eyre has been a hell of an experience today. finding out for the first time that this man is bonkers, like absolutely batshit. he talks like he’s arguing with his own reflection in a puddle

You’re in her DMs, I’m screaming her name across the moors and she somehow hears me. We’re not the same.

Yet after all my task was not an easy one; often I would rather have pleased than teased him. My future husband was becoming to me my whole world; and more than the world: almost my hope of heaven. He stood between me and every thought of religion, as an eclipse intervenes between man and the broad sun. I could not, in those days, see God for His creature: of whom I had made an idol.

You're lucky, Miss Eyre. If you do not love another living soul then you'll never be disappointed.

every day I log onto tumblr dot com and I have to see people claiming charlotte bronte wasn't a feminist unlike their totally unproblematic fave jane austen and I am physically unable to grab them by the shoulders and giving them a good shake and it makes me real sad

when mr. rochester dressed in drag as an old fortune teller and elaborately pranked an entire party partly to get jane’s attention… when mr. rochester wrote, composed, and performed an entire song for jane eyre on the spot… when mr. rochester took in his former sugar baby’s bastard child despite her presence being a painful reminder to him of her mother, and then claimed not to love the child despite spoiling her with gifts… when mr. rochester sacrificed his life trying to save his wife even though she tried to kill him multiple times and he still refused to put her in ferndean manor because he didn’t think it was good enough for her (making it meaningful that he ends up living there himself when he’s disabled, showing he prized himself less than her)… when mr. rochester took jane out for an extravagant all-day shopping trip and was way more enthusiastic about it than her… when mr. rochester shared a god-given telepathic connection with jane which induced them to reunite… when mr. rochester decided to wear the pearl necklace he originally bought for jane for forever… when mr. rochester made up a story for little adèle about jane being an elf magically sent to him from the moon… when mr. rochester pulled jane onto his horse… when mr. rochester…

The scene where Jane plans to have Rochester sing for her as a distraction so she doesn’t have to get all romantic with him in the evening is gold. She’s like “play me a song😊” and Rochester is like “no I’m not in the mood let’s cuddle😔👉👈” and then Jane is like “I’ll have to resort to flattering his ego😐…” and says “but I really want you to play me something🥰”, and Rochester is all like, “oh do you like my singing😏” and she’s like “yes😍”. Then Rochester gets all excited and says he’ll only sing if she accompanies him on the piano which Jane does. She attempts to play but remember Jane can only play “a little” and Rochester literally shoves her off the stool and calls her a “little bungler😏” and does a solo.💀Jane is all happy she didn’t have to play and was like “yay my plan worked hehe” then goes to sit by the window and listen. Rochester drops a banger romantic song about Jane, then gets extremely turned on by the end of the song. He passionately walks over to Jane with some heat in his eyes ready to kiss Jane then she dodges the kiss and is like, “who’s the song about? cuz it ain’t me🤷‍♀️” Rochester is like 👁️👄👁️🫵. Then Jane goes “certainly not me you said the lovers will die together… what a selfish idea I’m twenty years younger than you sir why do I have to die when you die?🤨”. Rochester is like “I’m sorry Jane please forgive me with a kiss?🥺👉👈” and Jane goes “I’d rather not😐🤚” LIKE IM WHEEZING THEY ARE SO FUNNY IN THIS SCENE💀 Rochester calls Jane some kinky pet names after this like “hard little thing😒” and Jane gets all happy bc she is like “he’s annoyed with me good!🤭” Meanwhile Rochester is 100% into this type of treatment from Jane, he’s like “mark me down as annoyed🙄 and turned on🥵”

Me: I hate clichés.

Author: dark brooding character hates the sweet naïve character, but later falls for them

Me: *screaming* OMG THE DARK BROODING CHARACTER HATES THE SWEET NAIVE CHARACTER, BUT LATER FALLS FOR THEM
