Ending

So as the book comes to an end I am almost sad, we have grown to love Jane and now her story is over. I was relieved that Jane didn't agree to marry St John and run off to India, but instead listen to her gut feeling and go back to find Rochester, the one she truly loves. Throughout the entire book, Jane was constantly seeking equality within a relationship. She never wanted to be dominated over by a male, understandably so, considering she had grown up only knowing to be independent and that it would only be her to take care of herself. I think that by moving out of Thornfield and having to find her own way was the best thing Jane could have done for herself. She realized that she didn't need a marriage to make her happy, but rather only to enhance it. She finally found out what true love was, I mean she had the chance to go get married to St John and run off, and live a semi respectable life. However she knew that he was not the one she truly loved, and that now she had found an inner peace with herself she was able to let Rochester into her life. After the tragic accident Rochester was tangled up in, and became partially blind and lost his hand, Jane found an equality. Even though its not to say that someone has to be disabled to be equal to Jane, but rather that she finally saw him as another human being equal to herself, one that dealt with hardships as well, that he was not perfect.
