Sherri Browning Erwin’s Jane Slayre (2010) was created as a “monstrous mashup” of the classic original novel Jane Eyre (1847) following the trend called Frankenfiction. While Charlotte Brontë decided to criticize social injustices towards women during the Victorian Era through Eyre’s life and character, Erwin pursues to join the literary movement of supernatural remixes with this adaptation. The comparison of Jane’s character in the two novels, Jane Eyre and Jane Slayre, shows how Erwin carried out this mashup considering the literary elements that are found in Jane Eyre, such as genre, style, themes, characters and settings into the creation of Jane Slayre. The discussion clarifies the similarities and differences between these two novels and examines the authors’ intentions in each work.
