White Edge Lodge (Rachel Prongay)
White Edge Lodge, Longshaw Estate, in Derbyshire, England is significant to Jane Eyre (2011) because it was filmed as the Moor House. This location is home to some of the most ominous, yet telling, scenes in Jane Eyre. This is where Jane has run off to following her fallout with Rochester. During our first scene at the White Edge Lodge, we are uncertain of the cause for Jane's anguish. The house sets the scene for the dark and mysterious mood with the fireplace lighting while Jane recovers from her starvation and weak state.
Martinez: Mount Calvary Convent School
Mount Calvary Convent School is significant to Wide Sargasso Sea because it is the first school Antoinette attends in Spanish Town, Jamaica. Mount Calvary Convent School offers Antoinette a place of refuge and security. Before, she feels very alienated from her community; since she is Creole, she is often shunned and made fun of by both Caribbean and English townsfolk. The children in Spanish Town often call her "white cockroach" and mock her for both her skin and her mother. In fact, while she's walking to the convent, she gets bullied and harassed by two children.

The Clergy Daughters' School in Cowan Bridge, Lancashire is significant to | Jane Eyre (2011) | because it's the school the Bronte sisters went to in their youth that was what based Lowood was based off of in the film. Two of the sisters, Maria and Elizabeth, died at the school from tuberculosis and cruelty/neglect from teachers. I found this information from English Lake Tours which is a walking tour blog for mainly locations of English literature such as Harry Potter and other Bronte sisters work like Wuthering Heights.
Azzarella: Spanish Town, Jamaica

In Spanish town, Antoinette's mother marries Mr. Mason and shorty after, Antoinette get married in an arranged marriage by Mr. Mason's son.
Dylan Head-Norton Conyers

This is because her visit with the house's attic and a local story about a mentally disturbed woman who had been confined there. I found this information from an academic article talking about Brontë's experience in Norton Conyers.
Stone Gappe - Gateshead Hall (Aubree Loker)
Stone Gappe is significant to Jane Eyre (2011) because it serves as the home of Jane's cruel aunt, Mrs. Reed, where Jane spends her early, tormented childhood before being sent away to Lowood School. I found this information from a walking tour blog that maps out the real-life locations and literary details of the novel.
Paris, France
Paris is sugnificant to Jane Eyre because Rochester's relationship with Celine Varens happened there. The article tells us that Adele was born in Paris and her French language and dancing skills shows us she was born there. I found this information in a scholarly article through OpenEdition. This is an example of a singular authorship because one researcher researched how French locations and language went into the novel/ movie. Mapping on COVE lets future students build on this research by making connections between Adele, Celine, Rochester and Paris.
