Jane Porter (later Jane Clayton, Lady Greystoke) is a fictional character in Edgar Rice Burroughs's series of Tarzan novels and in adaptations of the saga to other media, particularly film. Jane, an American from Baltimore, Maryland, is the daughter of explorer and anthropologist Archimedes Q. Porter. She becomes the love interest, later the wife of Tarzan and subsequently the mother of their son, Korak. Jane's character develops over the course of the series. Introduced as a well-educated but naive young woman, she is initially a damsel in distress, frequently placed in dangerous situations from which Tarzan must rescue her. Subsequent stories show her gradually learning combat and survival skills from her husband and enduring harsh regions like the Congo Basin, to the point where she becomes fully capable of surviving entirely on her own.
