Current Talk '05 II / THE DICKENS WITH DARK SHADOWS

There has been some comment that "Jane Eyre" influenced DS storylines. Today's photo (7-15-05) on the Forum's homepage made me wonder if "Agnes Grey" by Anne Bronte influenced the early episodes. It's the story of a young woman who wants to go out in the world and earn a living for herself as well as help her poor family. She takes a position with a rich family as governess, only to find the children are horribly behaved and almost impossible to teach.
This reminded me of Vicky's relationship with David. I wonder if the writers were influenced by "Agnes Grey" as well as "Jane Eyre".
