Reader, in addition to the novel's tropes, I used these tropes:
- Adaptation Dye Job: Blanche is blonde.
- Dawson Casting: Joan Fontaine was 26, eight years older than Jane's 18. Elizabeth Taylor appeared the first time as Helen Burns in an uncredited spot.
- Early-Bird Cameo: St. John Rivers appears during Jane's childhood as the local clergyman. This removes him from consideration as a romantic rival to Rochester when he reappears at the end (fortunately, given the age and power difference), and reformulates his obstacle to Jane's choice as a spiritual rather than emotional/marital one.
- Chiaroscuro
- Guttural Growler: Rochester.
- Ice Queen: Blanche has a haughty personality, but she is allowed to make her exit with some dignity.
