Mary Yellan and Jem Merlyn of Jamaica Inn are such a good gothic romance, but they don't seem to get a lot of love. Maybe they're not that well known, which is a shame!

Mary Yellan is one of the best female protagonists of classic literature and it's criminal how little appreciation she has 😭

Hello everyone I might have gone ahead and written a fluffy Jamaica Inn smut. It's a rewrite of the end of chapter 13 where Jem comes back to the inn and sees how much Mary has been hurt after he left her.

You're welcome to come and enjoy it ;)

Her mother's dying request obliges Mary Yellan to make a grim journey across bleak Cornish moorland to Jamaica Inn, the home of her Aunt Patience and her overbearing husband, Joss Merlyn. With the coachman's warning echoing in her mind and affected by the inn's brooding power, Mary is thwarted in her intention to help her aunt. She finds herself drawn unwillingly into the misdeeds of Joss and his accomplices, and even more disturbing are her feelings for a man she dare not trust . . . Jamaica Inn is a dark and gripping gothic tale that will remind readers of two other great classics, Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights .

they need to make a high quality 3 part adaptation of jamaica inn starring aisling franciosi as mary yellan and christopher abbott as jem merlyn, in the style of 'the gallows pole' that shane meadows produced last year

#i just finished the book and i need this

If you were a man, I’d ask you to come with me. We could travel the road together.

If you were a woman, I’d have you run the farm with me. You’d be grateful for the peace.

Gallant he had called her, and possessed with the spirit of adventure. Well, he should see what distance her courage took her, and that she could gamble with her life as well as he. She had the right upon her side, and faith in God, and he was outcast in a hell of his own creation. She smiled then and looked into his eyes, having made her decision ... She was filled with the wild spirit of adventure, and she had no fear of him, and no fear of the night.

Daphne Du Maurier, Jamaica Inn

Mary Yellan (more of an antiheroine to be honest) faces down the villain.

It was that quote at the end which made me read the book, hah

The beginning of Jamaica Inn is reminiscent of the beginning of Dracula--a protagonist travelling to a place which the locals warn them about. The warnings turn out to be justified.

It's probably a common trope, but I've just picked up Jamaica Inn for a re-read and obvs Dracula is on my mind a lot because of Dracula Daily, so I thought it was interesting.

The Road Also Goes South: A Jamaica Inn Fanfic

“There’ll come a time when you want your own plot of ground, and your four walls, and your roof, and somewhere to lay your poor tired bones.”

Those words were always really about her, Mary knows. It’s been seven years since she returned to Helford without Jem, and the last thing she expects is for him to turn up on her doorstep.

"If loving a man meant this pain and anguish and sickness, she wanted none of it. It did away with sanity and composure and made havoc of courage."

Daphne Du Maurier, "Jamaica Inn"
