"Reader, I used these tropes":

  • Adaptation Dye-Job: Blanche is a blonde.
  • Adapted Out: Mary, St. John and Diana's younger sister is not present in this version.
  • Big "NO!": When Richard Mason reveals Rochester is already married.
  • Composite Character: The priest stands in for the innkeeper in telling Jane about Mr. Rochester after Thornfield Hall was destroyed from fire.
  • Cue the Sun: Jane and Mr. Rochester watch the sunrise together after Mr. Mason left Thornfield.
  • Dance of Romance: Jane and Rochester share a dance together to pacify the former from worrying about a ripped wedding veil.
  • Deadpan Snarker:
    Rochester: Perhaps you'll explain to me the concept of a twenty-eight day week...
  • Double Entendre: Jane remarks that over her next fews weeks she likes her "stimulating" conversations with Mr. Rochester.
  • Gender Flip: When the epilogue shows Jane and Rochester with their children, the firstborn is a girl rather than the novel's boy.
  • Good Luck Charm: Mrs. Fairfax gives her blue pin to married-to-be Jane as a charm.
  • Ominous Fog: Jane and Mr. Rochester first meet in the riverbank shrouded in fog.
