A tradução de Jane Eyre do romance Para o cinema

Abstract

This present paper aims at analyzing the process of adaptation of the novel Jane Eyre, written by the English writer Charlotte Brontë, to the 2011 homonymous movie, directed by Cary Fukunaga, starring Mia Wasikowska, as Jane Eyre and Michael Fassbender as Mr. Rochester, observing reading traits in the language systems. In Charlotte Brontë’s book, first published in 1847, during the Victorian Era, the writer criticizes the moral of English society when she portrays a character that does not accept norms but questions habits and social standards of the period. As a theoretical basis, we are going to use Lefevere (2007) Stam (2008) and Hutcheon (2013) who write about translation as rewriting, intertext and film adaptation. We start from the hypothesis that the film adaptation builds the image of a protagonist with a strong voice that highlights her, besides marking her speech with coherence about the decisions and determinant choices for her happiness and wellbeing.
