In Patricia Park's Re Jane, an appropriation of Jane Eyre, Jane Re is from Koreatown in Flushing, New York. Within the first chapter "Flushing", Jane says "Home was this northeastern knot of Queens, in the town (if you could call it a town of Flushing" (Park 1). She continues by explaining that the town that was once "contained by a hearty swath of the American population" turned into a Korean town with shops such as "Daedong River Fishmarket," "Chosun Dynasty Auto Body," and "Kumgang Mountain Dry Cleaning" (1). Within Jane's hometown of Flushing, her uncle and aunt, whom which she lived with, owned their own shop: "It was a modest-size grocery carrying a mix of American and Korean products, along with the usual emergency supples-batteries, candles and condoms (1-2). Jane works at the family store on and off throughout the novel as a cashier and whatever else her uncle needed. The only times Jane did not work for her uncle at the store was when she transitioned to being the nanny for Ed Farley (Mr. Rochester) and Beth (Bertha) and their daughter Devon (Adele).
