What a ending!

Well I new the whole time that Jane was always going to get back with Mr. Rochester, but I never thought that Mr. Rochester could have his life get so screwed up. I feel pretty terrible for him getting his hand burnt and going blind. This is his entire fault though he kept his crazy wife up in his attic when he should have put her in an institution. If he had done this he would have not gotten so injured. At the same time I can see this being a punishment for Mr. Rochester for not telling Jane the whole truth. Well in the end I am glad to see that they got together and had a family.

I think you're right to characterize Rochester's injuries as a sort of divine 'punishment' for trying to tempt Jane into the unwitting crime of bigamy. Is this simply an extension of the way he was 'unhorsed' in his very first encounter with her?
