20. Chapter 19: “Eagerness of a listener”

Jane finally gets to talk to the mysterious Gypsy woman who knows quite a bit about her. And in the first part of this episode Charlene and Mike disagree on Rochester’s motivations for carrying on his charade. We follow that up with a breakdown of the three miniseries adaptations that depict this scene. For a scene that rarely makes it to adaptations, it’s interesting to see how differently the three versions approach it.
