I think that a novel is criticised in various ways according to the point of view and the generation. I was incensed by reading ‘Jane Eyre’ in two parts of the novel. First part is why Rochester didn’t look after his hidden wife. Jean Rhys already exploded her feeling through the novel ‘Wide Sargasso sea’ about this part. Second part is why Rochester and Jane Eyre can be reunited and had a marriage.
I will try to adapt the ‘decentring’ concept of post colonial theory to last part of the novel by intertwining the story. It can be changed like that Rochester tried to find Jane Eyre and met her at last but she didn’t accept his proposal of marriage because Jane Eyre wanted to be free from the restraint and exploitation by him.

Hi, Richard
It seems cool! I think you may consider Rochester’s daughter, giving her a chance. Good luck!
Hi Richard
I am impressed with your caring nature regarding Rochester's lack of regard for his wife. Also, I like storylines with strong female characters, so the last part of your comment sounds really interesting to me. It will be good to show Jane as a more assertive character. I look forward to reading your story.
Hi Richard
Yes your re-write sounds like it is going to be very fascinating..
I too very enjoyed reading those two books from the different views and I cannot wait to see how you change and twist the story line around
Goodluck
Hi Richard, Both of the two parts that you have chosen to do the re-write sound very cool. I always wonder the same thing! Why didn't Rochester look after his wife? and How did Jane Eyre and Rochester reunited to get married again? and How did a married man win Jane Eyre's heart? I 'm sure I would have fun reading your re-write. Good Luck!!!
