Jane Eyre

Where is the rat?

She's behind the curtain, where she always hides.

Mama!

Jane has knocked me down!

Take her up to the red room immediately.

That child has the devil in her.

I've always said.

No, not the red room.

No, not the red room.

No!

Don't come back, Uncle Reed.

Please don't come back.

Uncle Reed, please don't come back, please.

Let me out please!

Let me out!

Let me out.

Let me out!

Come along, John.

Yes, come on, John, we haven't got all day.

Don't worry. I won't shoot you.

Unless we don't like the painting, that is.

Hello.

Well, shouldn't you be in the portrait?

There's still plenty of room.

Jane Eyre?

She's not part of the family.

I have tried so very hard.

You cannot believe how hard I've tried, but.

There is the devil in the child.

What is your name, child?

Jane Eyre, sir.

Do you know, Jane Eyre,

what happens to little children when they die?

They go to heaven.

And what happens to disobedient,

deceitful girls when they die?

They go to hell.

So what must you do to avoid this terrible fate?

I must take care to keep in good health

and not to fall ill, sir.

Your aunt tells me that you are a deceitful child.

Is that true, Jane Eyre?

I am not a liar.

So do you say your aunt is a liar?

Ah, Jane Eyre.

How could I forget?

Step out here, Jane.

Jane Eyre, I'm sorry to have to tell you is a liar.

The lesson of the day will be that lying is a sin,

that all liars deserve to be shunned by their fellows.

Stand on that stool, Jane.

You will stay there until midnight,

and you will not eat or drink

but bow to beg God's forgiveness for your sin.

I wish I could escape to one of these places,

somewhere where it's warm.

I believe you will.

But you'll have to work hard.

We have to accept that we have been left here

by our families to fend for ourselves.

If you take advantage of the education here,

if you are not too rebellious,

and if you are patient then you will find your way out.

We will both work our hardest

and pray that God spares us until we are grown up.

And then what do we do?

I think when we grow up we have to be teachers.

How do we ever get out of here, Helen?

We advertise!

There you are.

You're very cold, Jane.

Come on under my covers.

No, no!

God can't have her!

He can't take her!

God has already taken her, Jane.

You must be brave.

Helen!

Helen!

Helen!

Girls, look how the sun casts shadows in the flowers.

If you want to recreate that put down your charcoals

and just smudge the edges where the dark shadows are.

Come on, girls, hurry up now.

Miss Eyre.

There appears to be a letter for you, Miss Eyre.

"If Miss JE is in a position

"to give satisfactory references

"as to character and competency,

"then we will be happy to engage her

"as a governess to Miss Adele Varens,

"ward of Mr Rochester of Thornfield Hall."

Ah, there's Thornfield Hall now, Miss.

There's always a light burning in the tower.

Are you taking me to Mrs Fairfax?

In there.

Why, it's Miss Eyre!

At last!

Oh, we've been waiting for you for so long!

I'm Mrs Fairfax.

Welcome to Thornfield.

My goodness, Miss Eyre, how hungry you are.

You must have been traveling all day.

How long is it since you have sat beside the fire

and eaten a hearty meal?

Oh, approximately eight years.

Oh, my goodness.

Eight years!

Hasn't sat by the fire for eight years!

Eight years!

I'll tell the master that when he gets back from abroad,

that will amuse even him!

Oh, not that he's without humor, of course.

No, certainly not.

I remember he used to tell jokes as a child.

He keeps himself to himself, but you needn't worry.

He's hardly ever at home, always traveling.

Miss Eyre, you are up early.

I hope you slept well.

Yes, thank you.

I was anxious to meet Adele.

Ah yes, well, you won't have to wait long.

Does she play up there?

Oh, goodness me, no.

No-one lives up there.

Oh, I thought I saw someone at the window.

There's only Grace Poole there.

She does the laundry.

Mrs Fairfax.

Ah, I don't think Miss Adele can wait much longer.

Bonjour, Mademoiselle Jeanne.

I'm so very heureuse to faire votre acquaintance.

Oh, thank goodness, you'll be able to understand her.

Now you can tell me what she is singing.

Well, I believe it is a romance.

The woman is declaring her love for her sweetheart.

Merci, merci, merci,

I will dance another one.

Later maybe,

but first you will show me to our school room.

Damn it!

Christ!

Quiet, Pilot.

Damn it!

Are you injured, sir?

Get away from me, witch.

You've done enough damage!

I cannot think of leaving you

until I see you are fit to mount your horse.

You should be at home yourself.

Where do you live?

At Thornfield Hall.

I can fetch help, I'll be a little while.

Do you think you can bring him over to me?

Come over here.

Come.

Come here, come here.

Hold these.

Thank you, Miss?

Jane Eyre, sir.

Well, that's what happens

when you bewitch a man's horse, Miss Eyre.

A lot of pain and cursing.

I did not bewitch your horse, sir.

I was waiting for you to go past.

You were hovering, casting spells.

Now get off back to Thornfield Hall,

if that is indeed where you live.

I do, but I will post my letter first before I return.

Don't be late back.

Miss Jane Eyre.

Ah, Miss Eyre, there you are.

What do you think?

The master is back.

Mr Rochester?

Not a word about his return, as usual,

and he had an accident on the road.

The doctor is with him in the drawing room now.

Adele, come away!

Time for bed.

Mr Rochester will see you tomorrow.

Miss Eyre, make yourself ready.

Master has finished his business for the day

and wishes to see you.

Me?

Yes.

Oh, no, no, no, you must change.

This will have to do.

This will have to do.

Ah, Miss Eyre.

A boite for Miss Eyre?

Does Miss Eyre require a present?

Excuse me, sir?

Does the governess expect me

to have brought her a present back from my travels overseas?

No, sir.

What are you doing standing over there

where I can't see you?

Where would you like me to stand, sir?

Here, sit.
