In this inaugural first episode, I look at the source material Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. Why do I love it so? Why do people despise it? Why does it endure? I answer these questions before diving into a plot synopsis and giving historical context to the novel. I then examine the Classical trope of “dutiful wife vs sorceress,” three varied types of Christians, Jane’s heroine’s journey, and more!

In the second half of the episode, I speak with licensed marriage and family therapist Dr. Renae Lapin about the men in Jane’s life and her relationships with them.

DEAR READER, A JANE EYRE PODCAST! A new limited series podcast examining the legacy of Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre through the lens of its varied and various interpretations.

The series will launch with a look at the source material, investigating why it has endured for so long, why people love or hate it, and whether Mr. Rochester is an abusive love interest.

In the coming months, I will pair two interpretations each episode from similar (or dissimilar) forms of media and see how well they reflect or build upon the source material. Some examples of the media I will be looking at are television, film, radio, theatre, manga, sci-fi, “what-ifs,” and more.
