My problem with that is that neither character really seemed to find redemption, to me. Rochester went on being a douchebag, just a broken douchebag who paid lip service to being apologetic without actually changing the way he related to Jane or anyone else (nor showing real remorse for the utterly awful way he treated the other women in his life), and Jane went on being sanctimoniously self-pitying despite having what even she acknowledges as remarkably good luck for a woman in her position. Their redemption seemed to consist of "OH THEY WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG WHAT FOOLS WE WERE TO DOUBT THEM" from everyone else, and mostly left me just wanting to see St John's missionary work because it had to be more interesting.

(This is not meant to be an indictment of your taste or anything, I just... never understood how they were meant to be redeemed, when nothing in either of their characters seemed to change dramatically at all)

I guess the difference is that I don't see it as him being a d-bag at the end. To some degree, they have a sharp relationship and that's how they are as people (trading jabs, that sort of thing). She plays him pretty good, teasing him into a bit of jealousy (written with an air of humor) - the relationship is far more equitable in the finale. (I'm re-reading the ending here as I type this LOL). If redemption = shift in personality (vs a shift in character), well no, that's not going to happen, but then, I could be reading the ending differently
