We happened to visit Haddon Hall (Thornfield)a few years ago during the filming of JE - back then I really had no idea who MF was and good job, as we called in on the one day the crew was taking a break. But the room was set up as Rochester's study, just as it is in the film when he has his cosy chats with Jane in front of the fire. So MF's bottom had been in those very chairs.

I dimly recall a John Sutherland essay called 'Can Jane Eyre be happy?' I think it implied that there was a hint of Bluebeard in Rochester - and I wonder if the actor/director was also hinting at this edge of danger and ambiguity that surrounds Rochester.<br /><br />Please don't hate me, Toby Stephens fans, I think Toby's a great actor but I didn't feel he fitted *my* vision of Rochester I found him a liitle too urbane.Phillipahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15638591059241672256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-22977713602312992672012-02-08T11:51:08.152+01:002012-02-08T11:51:08.152+01:00@Phillipa

It was not easy to play to deconstruct and unroot a character he had so thoroughly built and brought to life. I loved Lucas North and hated what they did of him. But I admired RA greatly for what he achieved with his detailed acting in series 9. <br />But... aren't we supposed to praise Mr Fassbender here?
