I remember reading and analyzing it in a high school Lit class. I didn't remember any of it. I absorb stories better when I read because I want to. I hate analyzing. I'm not sure if it's because I have such a hard time getting my thoughts out of my head or if I just plain don't like debates or maybe I just don't like to look deep into anything. I prefer to read a book or watch a movie and take away from it whatever I end up taking away. I don't want to dig into it and find some hidden, "real" meaning. Call me shallow. Pffft!
I think I'll read the book again, but this time a print copy and, hopefully, an old print copy, and this time I'll read it with these two actors in the roles. I did that with Remains of the Day and it helped. In that case I'd seen the movie first, back in the days when I was obsessing Anthony Hopkins. I found out it was a book first so I checked it out. But it's very "British" and having seen the movie helped me to follow it better. I loved the book and I still love the movie, even with it's differences.
I haven't seen any other movie/TV versions of Jane Eyre. I have one on my DVR. I don't remember which one. I figured I'd try to get around to seeing them all eventually. I'm pretty sure this version will stay my favorite. <3
