No Perfect Endings

I think that Charlotte Bronte displays that there are no perfect endings in reality. However, imperfections are what make life real. Nothing is ever perfect. Nothing ever completely moves in our favor. Some might say that it would have been better if Mr. Rochester had not lost his left hand or became blind because of the fire. Some might also say that it would have been better if Thornfield had not been burned down. Mr. Rochester and Jane could have lived 'happily ever after' in Thornfield and end their love story where it began. However, this is not what happened in the book. The best ending for anyone despite all of the imperfections is to finally be with the one they love and spend the rest of their life with that person. That in itself is a perfect ending. I believe that in the end, this will be true of Jane and Mr. Rochester.

  1. I think what you are describing is fate. No matter how much we try we can't beat it. It was just destined to be.

  2. I agree with Destani and Eliza, imperfections are what seperates us (humans) from being an automaton. Plus, this world would be boring if there were perfect endings...
