1983 Film adaptation and Questions chapter 3-4-5



1) What liberties do you think de director took in adapting the novel into a film?

The director can adapt the novel as he wants to, highligting whatever he pleases , excluding some things that ocurred in the novel and adding new events or even change the way events took place in the novel.

2) What criticism can you offer to the portrayal of Victorian Times presented in the film?

Well first of all and a theme we need to talk about is the abuse in the social structure, the high culture abused a lot from the low culture, just like the Reed's with Jayne, aswell how money was so important back then and just the fact of having money would grant you different traits and rights.

3) In a contemporary context, how would society manage the constant abuse and bullying against a child within the heart of his/her family?

The only way is with the rights child have, aswell as human rights but there's no way to stop this, there will always exists cases of abuse and bullying within family or schoolmates.

Chapter 3-4-5

1) How would you describe the relationship between Jane and Mr. Lloyd? How do you think this affects her?

Mr's Lloyd kindness is very helpful to Jayne constant bullying physically and psychologically, one of her few reasons to stay there, but still not enough kindness compared to all the harassment from the Reed's.

2) How did Jane's character changed in her confrontation with both Mr. Brocklehurst and Mrs. Reed?

After Mrs. Reed comment about she gets really irritated, but afterwards she manages to tell Mr. Brocklehurst the truth about her dark childhood.

3) What is your first perception of Lowood School? What do you predict for Jane's future at Lowood?

We can tell that life there is tough, even Jayne noticed that after her first day there, bad food which led to unfed students, no water, etc. I could tell that she will have a bad time at Lowood, but with friendship she will be able to have better time rather than on Gateshead.
