Farewell to Jane Eyre

Although it is a bit of a fairytale ending, i think it was Jane deserves, and she is finally ready for it. I think she can see past Mr. Rochester's defences because she was never attracted to his looks but more his soul and his character. This becomes evident to Rochester when he sees that Jane has truly commit ed herself to him, and never again will he be alone. I though it was a little bit weird of Bronte to include superstition in her conclusion because it makes Rochester and Jane's act of reuniting less believable. I was thinking that maybe Jane really did hear Mr. Rochester call for her, because for all we know the Moor House could be right of the hill from Ferndean. I find the way that Bertha died a bit ironic, because in her attempt to kill Jane, who she thought was still living at Thornfield, she actually killed herself and allowed the marriage of Jane and Rochester to actually take place. Although Rochester was left blind and crippled after the fire, Jane does not let this serve as yet another obstacle to their union. She sees past his physical deformities, because according to her his loss of sight and missing hand aren't as bad as if his mind were mad. The scene when Jane is hiding from Rochester right before she is about to enter Ferndean reminded me of when she hides from him in the garden at Thornfield, just a strange recurrence. Then when Jane goes into the parlour, pretending to be Mary, i thought of how Mr. Rochester had tricked Jane in the past when he acted as the gypsy; this was her payback. On page 506 Bronte clearly states that Rochester is dependent on Jane to return a happy countenance to Rochester's face. Following this on page 507 Rochester actually confesses his dependence on her for he is blind and missing a hand, but i think he also realizes that emotionally he is dependent upon the presence of Jane in his life. We see another occurrence of the three day interval when Rochester announces they should be married the third from this day, and again when Mary is told of the news she is silent for three minutes. In the conclusion Jane restates how her and her husband are equals because they're both each other's sole purpose for life. I also like how Bronte does not leave us hanging in the end, and she makes a point to tell us what the future beholds for all of the characters we have seen such as Adele, Diana, Mary, Mr. Rivers, and so on. It was a nice and calm ending for such a passionate book.
