![]() To the purists who resist such creativity, the wisdom of Rachel Lloyd bears repeating: ![]() Jane Eyre is of the same breed, crying out for reinterpretation over and over again. One thing Peter Jackson taught me is that books like The Lord of the Rings are so complex that literal adaptations are bound to fail. Not surprisingly, the best Jane Eyre adaptations are the most creative ones (the Hammer horror approach of ’44, the Harlequin-gothic approach of ’06), while those which slavishly follow Bronte’s text leave much to be desired (the two early BBC productions, in ’73 and ’83).
