Welcome.
Here on my blog I will be comparing Charlotte Bronte's literary classic, Jane Eyre, to the filmography of Nicolas Cage. There are many similarities between the two works of art and I will do my best to show these similarities in detail. In case you are unfamiliar with the story of Jane Eyre, here is a short synopsis:
The story of Jane Eyre follows a woman as she progresses through he life. Jane Eyre was an orphan who was forced to live with her wretched aunt and cousins after the death of her parents. After living with her aunt for a while she was sent to a school for girls where she had only one friend, Helen Burns, who died after knowing Jane for just a short. After growing up, Jane became a governess and found work at Gateshead, an estate owned by Mr. Rochester. While at Gateshead, Jane fell in love with Rochester and when he finally asks for her hand in marriage, Jane discovers that Rochester is already married to a mad woman who lives in his attic. Jane then leaves Gateshead and is forced to beg until she is taken in by St. John. Jane stays with him for a while, but it is eventually discovered that Jane and St. John are relatives and they all inherit money from Jane's Uncle Eyre. St. John then forces his love upon Jane which makes her leave and goes to find Rochester who is living in a small home after being blinded in a fire where his mad wife had perished. Jane then spends the rest of her days with Rochester.
