I like both, but definitely keener on Mr Rochester than Heathcliff!Rosemary Gemmellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311840205603508422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278356786329973174.post-63304977464330070812011-10-02T01:57:25.420-07:002011-10-02T01:57:25.420-07:00I think I must be one of the few who really doesn&...I think I must be one of the few who really doesn't like 'Jane Eyre'. It just didn't appeal... and Mr Rochester... ergh. I can understand the appeal, though.Talli Rolandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780882465745107715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278356786329973174.post-82236602610599174622011-10-01T08:36:41.258-07:002011-10-01T08:36:41.258-07:00Thank you for this, Rosemary.

I must say the chemistry between Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen in Pride and Prejudice, 2005 was intense. Very well done.Joylene Nowell Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497637513532136615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278356786329973174.post-47583195587462031272011-10-01T07:03:43.175-07:002011-10-01T07:03:43.175-07:00That's interesting, Debs.

If you've read the book you know what's sadly had to be sacrificed to fit.<br /><br />I enjoyed the last tv version of it too.Carolbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05578076528292643928noreply@blogger.com
