Historically, Jane’s character was a trophy: the blond, civilized damsel who domesticates the ape-man. However, the intellectual climate of 1995 — saturated with post-colonial theory and second-wave feminism — demanded a reckoning. In this high-quality literary re-evaluation, Jane’s shame is tripartite. Firstly, there is cultural shame : she is ashamed of her own society. When she witnesses Tarzan kill a lion with a bare knife, she does not recoil from the violence but from the realization that her London ballrooms are morally bankrupt compared to his brutal honesty. Secondly, there is sexual shame : the late-Victorian superego warring with the primal id. Tarzan represents a sexuality unmediated by corsets or courtship. Jane’s shame arises from her arousal at his "otherness" — a desire that brands her, in her own mind, as a traitor to her gender’s civilizing mission.
