The novel has been adapted into a number of other forms, including theatre, film, television, and at least three full-length operas. The novel has also been the subject of a number of significant rewritings and related interpretations, notably [[Jean Rhys]]'s seminal 1966 novel ''[[Wide Sargasso Sea]]''.<ref>{{cite book|title=Magill's Survey of World Literature|publisher=Salem Press|year=2009|isbn=9781587654312|editor-last=Kellman|editor-first=Steve G.|pages=2148}}</ref>

A famous line in the book is at the beginning of Chapter 38: "Reader, I married him." Many authors have used a variation of this line in their work. For example, [[Liane Moriarty]] discussed and used the line in her 2018 novel ''[[Nine Perfect Strangers]]''.<ref>{{cite book |authorlink=Liane Moriarty |first=Liane |last=Moriarty|title=[[Nine Perfect Strangers]] |date=2018 |isbn=978-1-4328-5900-8 |publisher=[[Macmillan (publisher)|Macmillan Australia]] |chapter=(chapter 12 and other chapters)}}</ref>

The book ''[[Reader, I Married Him]]: Stories inspired by Jane Eyre'', a 2016 anthology of short stories, edited by [[Tracy Chevalier]], was also inspired by this line. It was commissioned to mark the 200th anniversary of Brontë's birth, and is published by [[The Borough Press]], an imprint of [[HarperCollins]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Brontë-inspired short stories to Borough|url=http://www.thebookseller.com/news/bront-inspired-short-stories-borough|accessdate=31 March 2016|work=The Bookseller|date=21 April 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.harpercollins.com/9780062447098/reader-i-married-him | title=Reader, I Married Him | publisher = Harper Collins (US)| accessdate=31 March 2016}} ''Includes full list of authors''</ref><ref name="hc-uk">{{cite web|title=Reader, I Married Him|url=https://www.harpercollins.co.uk/9780008150594/reader-i-married-him|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160414175034/https://www.harpercollins.co.uk/9780008150594/reader-i-married-him|url-status=dead|archive-date=14 April 2016|publisher=Harper Collins (UK)|accessdate=31 March 2016}} ''Shows UK cover''</ref><ref name="hill">{{cite news|last1=Hill|first1=Susan|title=Why I will never read Jane Eyre|url=http://www.spectator.co.uk/2016/03/why-i-will-never-read-jane-eyre/|accessdate=31 March 2016|work=The Spectator|date=12 March 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Reader I Married Him|url=https://www.bronte.org.uk/bronte-shop/coming-soon/247/reader-i-married-him|website=Bronte Parsonage Museum and Shop|accessdate=31 March 2016}}</ref>
