Given the phrasing, there are two possibilities:

It is important to clarify that “Tarzan and the Shame of Jane” is not a canonical title within Edgar Rice Burroughs’ original Tarzan series (1912–1965). Burroughs wrote 24 novels featuring Tarzan, and none carry this exact phrasing. The phrase appears to stem from unauthorized parodies, adult fan fiction, or exploitative reinterpretations that emerged in the mid-to-late 20th century, often playing on themes of dominance, primitivism, or Victorian-era sexual anxiety.

Another angle: Jane's character often serves as a means for Tarzan's personal development. Her presence might make Tarzan more human, but it could also be a case of her being a secondary character, thus the shame in her lack of depth or agency.
