%X This essay aims at exploring Cary Fukunaga’s adaptation of Jane Eyre as a current revision of Charlotte Brontë's world-renowned novel (1847). Likewise, we also examine how in spite of the high tradition of Jane Eyre in 40s female gothic cycle in cinema, the Gothic genre still survives in our epoch, but in a different way. In this light, our main concern consists of analyzing the most intriguing scenes included in Fukunaga’s adaptation that has to do with Gothic tradition. Fukunaga’s Jane Eyre is consequently a modern vision of the Victorian era so we will treat the adaptation as a kind of intertext where allusions or rejections to previous adaptations will become relevant parts of our study.
In front of an audience already swamped with popular versions of the Gothic not really knowing what that literary genre consists of, Cary Fukunaga arrives with a "breath of fresh Eyre" opening up the debate of the varied interactions between literary Gothic and the “Gothic” that has been transferred to screen over the years.
