20. Chapter 19: “Eagerness of a listener”
Listen now
Description
Jane finally gets to talk to the mysterious Gypsy woman who knows quite a bit about her.  And in the first part of this episode Charlene and Mike disagree on Rochester’s motivations for carrying on his charade. We follow that up with a breakdown of  the three miniseries adaptations that depict this scene.  For a scene that rarely makes it to adaptations, it’s interesting to see how differently the three versions approach it. ---- Our theme song is “You Live In My Heart” by Zakhar Valaha. Audio clips are from the 1973 BBC production of Jane Eyre starring Sorcha Cusack and Michael Jayston.
