“No,” she said. “That’s a human one.”
The film’s title, The Shame of Jane , has become a catchphrase among fans of cult media. Throughout the film, Jane, who is portrayed as a sophisticated "know-it-all" socialite, struggles to reconcile the wildness of the jungle with her own repressed sexuality. The "shame" the title refers to comes from Jane’s own awkwardness and hypocrisy. In one particularly famous scene from the movie, during her first encounter with the Ape-man, Jane declares that the only real difference between men and women are "men's inferior boobs". This line, combined with her general confusion regarding basic human anatomy and her subsequent surrender to pure instinct, creates a narrative where Jane’s civilized pretensions are her greatest source of shame. One critic summarized it best by saying that, in the end, it turns out that "Jane has quite some things to be ashamed of".
