Ext. A midsummer dawn. Thornfield the grounds

INT. DAY. THORNFIELD - JANE'S BEDROOM.

Jane sits on her bed. She mechanically starts taking off

the blond square she has worn as a veil.

CUT TO:

Jane, standing in stillness with the pearl dress crumpled

around her feet.

CUT TO:

Jane Eyre adapted by Moira Buffini March 2008 94.

Jane has taken a black stuff dress off its hangar. She

slowly puts her arms around it, as if it is her old self.

She holds it, her eyes staring at nothing.

CUT TO:

Jane in her underclothes, sitting down on the bed. She

closes her eyes.

EXT. DAY. A DRY RIVER BED.

Jane lies curled up on a rock at the bottom of a dried-up

river bed. All of nature is suspended in stillness.

Far away, we hear the sound of a flood loosened in the

remote mountains. We hear the sound of the torrent

approach.

Jane doesn't move. She has no will to flee. The sound of

rushing water pounds in her ears. She lies, waiting to be

dashed away. We see the flood approach and hit. A dazzling

whiteness of water and foam.
