i think one of the things that it's not portrayed accurately in some jane eyre adaptations (at least in my experience; i have not seen that many of them) is that jane is only eighteen, and is supposed to look very young. her candor and inexperience in life (besides her many qualities - wisdom, profound dignity, moral compass etc.) are the main reason rochester falls in love with her, "poor and obscure as you are"... she needs to look young. an adult, of course, and fully grown, but young - contrasting rochester's exhausted by life middle-to-late 30s looks. idc if you think it's gross, that's how the story is supposed to be lmao
