Genre: Revisionist Romance The "shame" is inverted. Jane is not the love interest; she is the narrator. She witnesses Tarzan in a deep, complex relationship with another character (perhaps a reformed hunter or a local guide). Her shame is realizing that the heterosexual "Beauty and the Beast" template was a lie. Her shame is the embarrassment of the fangirl who projected a romance that was never there.
The "shame" transforms from an external social judgment into an internal moral conflict. It is no longer, "What will my father think?" but rather, "Why do I feel more shame leaving the jungle than staying in it?"
