Why was she so maddeningly accepting? She made the right choice and it ended up so depressing. And Rochester - he didn't deserve what happened to him at all. Yes he made mistakes, did things he shouldn't have, but he was trying to do the best he could. The ending is just horrible. I know it's supposed to be beautiful and heartwarming and show the power of love through all adversity - but it's not. It's just not. It shows people dealing magnificently with the hand they were dealt, which is very good and nice and honorable and lovely, but it leaves me sick that both of them, and Jane in particular got such a raw deal.
