|comment=Have just listened to : “Thornfield Hall” on audio and really can’t bear the book. My husband and I are great admirers and fans of Charlotte Bronte’s “Jane Eyre” and it is the difference between “Pedestrianism – Thornfield Hall and Genius - “Jane Eyre.”
Not one man in “Thornfield Hall” comes out of it with any sort of credit and Mrs. Fairfax considers herself to be a saint and CEO of her world.
All the atmosphere and drama is lost, as is the profound moral that “Jane Eyre”, in our permissive society of the 21st C puts before us.
Sorry, the real “Jane Eyre” is much more probable in the life of that time than the “mush” of Thornfield Hall.
