About

Join us for an analysis of proto-feminist themes in the Brontë sisters' work, through the lens of iconic 90s comedy sitcom FRIENDS
 
‘The One where Jane Eyre is a cyborg’
 
In Season 5, Episode 9 of the comedy television series FRIENDS, Phoebe and Rachel join a late-night literature class studying Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre. While Phoebe gets stuck into the symbolism of the moors, Rachel comes to understand how the books were light-years ahead of their time, in more ways than one...

Although a fleeting and playful reference to the Brontës, there are many aspects of FRIENDS that speak to the pervasive and forward-thinking feminism found in the Brontës’ novels.

Phoebe, Monica and Rachel may be the iconic female trio of a generation, but who could be more iconic than the original trio of Charlotte, Emily and Anne?
