Academic literature on the topic 'Jane Eyre'

Sedan 1968 har det producerats lättlästa böcker i Sverige. Lättlästa böcker som riktar sig till vuxna läsare som har någon form av svårighet med att läsa. Den här uppsatsen presenterar en komparativ analys av Charlotte Brontës Jane Eyre och en svensk lättläst adaptation av romanen. Uppsatsen handlar om vad som händer när ett litterärt verk omarbetas till en lättläst text. Analysen berör skillnader och likheter i vad som berättas och hur det berättas. De båda verken diskuteras parallellt. Det ges även en presentation av vad lättlästa böcker är. Resultatet visar på att det finns skillnader mellan de två verken och att adaptationen är en mycket förkortad och förenklad version av originalet, där det både har tagits bort men även gjorts ändringar i handlingen.

Tout au long de son chemin, a chaque etape de son periple symbolisee par une demeure, l'heroine connait des tribulations; elle doit faire face aussi chaque fois a un severe protagoniste: a gateshead, mrs reed la rejette; a lowood, brocklehurst seme privation et mort; thornfield abrite la tentation de la chair symbolisee par le maitre du domaine, mr rochester qui la fait fuir du paradis terrestre; moorhouse voudrait faire d'elle une martyre soumise au fanatisme de st john mais ferndean l'attend au dernier detour du chemin pour la faire penetrer au sein de la beatitude. Durant ce long voyage regne une atmosphere etrange que les elements, reflets de l'ame et de la lutte de jane viennent assombrir ou eclairer. Deuxieme partie : rochester : epreuves et initiation etre de roc, de feu et de sang, ayant connu une jeunesse tumultueuse et trop attire par les desirs terrestres, il doit subir une initiation douloureuse, veritable transmutation alchimique l'obligeant a accepter les epreuves et la mort symbolique avant de le faire renaitre a une autre vie aupres de jane venue seulement alors le rejoindre. Troisieme partie : charlotte : ecriture et realisation charlotte bronte se cachait derriere ses heros. A travers la joie que lui apporta l'ecriture se revele l'experience poignante que fut sa vie, initiation douloureuse durant laquelle les privations, la souffrance et la mort sevirent dans le sombre presbytere de haworth; puis son coeur mis a nu brula sur le brasier ardent du renoncement a son retour de bruxelles. Cette grande et tragique experience sentimentale allait lui ouvrir pourtant toute grandes les portes de l'art. Combien immense fut l'allegement du poids de la vie, puissante sa vengeance, epanoui enfin son etre que l'inhibition avait fui lorsque le succes la fit penetrer dans le jardin de la notoriete eternelle mais charlotte devait succomber prematurement a ce bonheur trop tard venu malheureusement<br>First part : jane : her spiritual quest or symbolical journey towards the centre jane, an orphan sets out in search of happiness. All along the road, at each stage of her progress symbolised by a dwelling place, the heroine meets trials. Each time she has to cope with a severe protagonist too : at gateshead, mrs reed rejects her; at lowood, brocklehurst is sowing starvation and death; thornfield shelters temptation symbolised by the master of the estate, mr rochester who causes her to fly the garden of eden; moorhouse would like to make a martyr of her under the influence of st john's fanaticism but ferndean is waiting for her at the last turning of her way and leads her last steps towards bliss. Throughout that long journey a strange atmosphere is prevailing, enhanced by the elements reflecting jane's feelings and struggle. Second part : rochester's trials and initiation a son of rock and fire, having experienced an eventful youth, too much attracted by earthly desires he must undergo a painful initiation, a genuine alchemical transmutation in which he almost meets his doom. But this death is metaphorical, his suffering and wounds symbolical and soon he comes to life again to enjoy the return of jane for ever. Third part : charlotte : writing and accomplishment charlotte bronte is in fact hiding herself behind her heroes. Throughout the enthralling experience of writing, the heartbreaking events of her life are revealed; it was indeed an excruciating initiation : not only did hardship and death reign supreme over the dismal parsonage but after her return from brussels her heart, laying bare, burnt on the fiery furnace of renunciation. And yet her sentimental suffering opened the way to her genius and art. When success opened the door to an eternal fame, the burden of her life, her frustration and inhibition vanished. Unfortunately at the prospect of happiness which had come too late, charlotte was about to meet an unti

A presente dissertação tem como objetivo investigar a sedimentação sócio-histórica do romance de estreia de Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre (1847), a partir de seu foco narrativo. Ao atentar à fortuna crítica da obra, em especial às resenhas que seguiram a publicação do romance e às críticas materialista e feminista, distinguem-se duas tendências, dois modos de entender Jane Eyre. Por meio da análise de trechos do romance, visa-se ilustrar como essas duas vias de leitura são possíveis por conta da posição ambígua da narradora-personagem dentro da sociedade vitoriana. Expandindo o conceito de Terry Eagleton do in between, argumenta-se que, por estar sempre em uma posição entre as classes alta e baixa e por desejar inserção, Jane relata e denuncia as violências que permeiam a sociedade vitoriana e, ao mesmo tempo, incorpora o discurso dominante, mesmo quando esse vai contra ela mesma. Entende-se, assim, que o romance retrata a situação contraditória da classe média e o impacto de viver nessa posição na própria consciência do indivíduo, isto é, na sua visão de si e do mundo, como observado na voz da narradora de Jane Eyre.<br>The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the social and historical sedimentation of Charlotte Brontës 1847 debut novel, Jane Eyre, by exploring its point of view. Drawing from the novels literary criticism, especially from the reviews that followed its publication and from the Feminist and Marxist criticism, two different ways of understanding Jane Eyre are distinguished. The close reading of excerpts from Charlotte Brontës work aims at highlighting that these two readings are possible due to the narrators ambiguous position in the Victorian social structure. By expanding Terry Eagletons concept of the in between, it is discussed that, since Jane is from the very beginning of the novel in a position between the upper and lower classes and she longs for inclusion, she accounts on and denounces the violence that permeated the Victorian society, just as, at the same time, she incorporates the dominant discourse even when it speaks against herself. Thus, it is understood that the novel portrays the contradictory situation of the petty bourgeoisie and the impact of being in such a position on the individuals consciousness, as it is seen in Jane Eyres narrators voice.

The literary project of the author focuses on the issue of gender and its concern was to give voice to the women of her time. The director´s project for this movie comes from melodrama to the triumph of love search. The purpose of analysis is to understand how the interpretation of this source-novel occurs in the 21st century, with the aim of examining how this story is reread, seeking current interpretive understanding of the novel through the film. Thus, this study will demonstrate the importance of the periodization as proposed by Jameson (1992) for the reading of the novel and its transcreation, according to Campos (2004), considering the relationship between economic s, political, social and aesthetic characteristics of each period, as also teaches Candido (1967). The research was developed through the reading the novel, of the theoretical works about the author as well as the director and analysis of filmic narrative.<br>Esta dissertação tem por objetivo demonstrar como o projeto literário de Charlotte Brontë se apresenta no romance Jane Eyre (1847), por meio da autoria feminina, como ocorre sua transposição para o Cinema, na versão fílmica, de Cary Joji Fukunaga, Jane Eyre (2011). O projeto literário da autora concentra-se na questão de gênero e sua preocupação foi a de dar voz à mulher de seu tempo. O projeto do diretor para esse filme parte do melodrama para o triunfo da busca pelo amor. O intuito de análise é perceber como ocorre a interpretação desse romance-fonte no século XXI, com o objetivo de analisar como essa história é relida, buscando a compreensão interpretativa desse romance-fonte na atualidade pelo olhar fílmico. Neste âmbito, este estudo demonstrará a importância da periodização conforme proposto por Jameson (1992) para a leitura do romance e de sua transcriação, de acordo com Campos (2004), considerando as relações entre as características econômicas, políticas, sociais e estéticas de cada período, conforme também nos ensina Candido (1967). A pesquisa foi desenvolvida por meio da leitura do romance, de obras teóricas sobre a autora e o diretor e análise da narrativa cinematográfica.
