From the book... movies... Any opinion on her type? I find her interesting and often admirable. We are alike in some ways. She is a bit... stronger than me, though, I think. And cleverer.
Or what about the other characters, like the rather not-Darcy-like Mr. Rochester? (Bronte considered Austen's works a little bit too tame.)

I think my favorite adaptation of the book to screen must be the 2006 BBC version. I think it gives the most accurate portrayal of Jane; I find the other ones to be a bit silly. It's available almost in full on YouTube. Here are a couple of the sections in case you're interested:
Near the beginning of the story when Jane first arrives at her new job and meets her boss

Visiting her family

Much later, when she is more independent (the first half is the main illustration of her personality, particularly as it relates to her sense of attachment and her further growth in confidence)
