Jane Eyre 2011. Wasikowska accurately portrays every aspect of Jane, from her posture and her expression to her voice tone. She is able to incite the ever-increasing appreciation for a woman who has learned the virtue of endurance but in the end, refuses to succumb to what she knows is wrong. In a larger sense, Jane is most remarkable for how she never descends to the levels of the constrained and simply awful individuals who so frequently enjoy the upper hand over her. Jane's subtle feminist characteristic in a time when it wasn't known has undoubtedly contributed to the book's success over the years.
