Everyone is always talking about how Rochester is problematic and how Jane shouldn't have married him but that is not even the most objectionable part of the novel, not by a long shot. No. The real problem in Jane Eyre is both Rochester and Jane's treatment and prejudices towards Adèle.

Adèle is the eight-year-old, half-French child of Rochester (maybe), who is already predisposed to be a harlot either because she's French or because of eugenics (daughter of Rochester's mistress, let's not mention the double whammy since her father was in fact sleeping with that mistress because of course the man has nothing to do with it rolls eyes). Her being excited to get a present of a dress from Rochester must mean she's already well on the way to being a slattern, it's not the normal reaction of a child to a present (it totally is). And then Jane can't care for Adèle because she has a half-blind and crippled husband, BUT DON'T WORRY! Good English education drove all that slutty Frenchness right out of her:

As she grew up, a sound English education corrected in a great measure her French defects; and when she left school, I found in her a pleasing and obliging companion: docile, good-tempered, and well-principled.

It's not even her mother mentioned here, just the fact that she's French. She must be saved from the Frenchness! And I can't even laugh at how stupid this all is, because this is still a common negative stereotype about the French.

So yeah, it's worse than the marriage at the end, that's all I'm saying.
