The Tarzan story, first popularized by Edgar Rice Burroughs, has been adapted countless times in film, television, and literature. While Tarzan is often the focal point, Jane—his love interest and moral compass—has historically been framed as the “civilized” counterpart to Tarzan’s “primal” existence. However, closer scrutiny reveals Jane as a character rich with thematic depth, particularly in her negotiation of shame, identity, and empowerment. This paper investigates Jane’s potential as a symbol of resistance against Victorian-era gender norms, arguing that her character could be reimagined as a narrative of redemption and agency in a hypothetical adaptation titled "Shame of Jane."

: This paper is a speculative reimagining of Jane’s character. No film titled Shame of Jane exists as of 2023. Suggestions are based on literary analysis and feminist/critical race theory.
